Numerical modeling of strain localization in granular materials using Cosserat theory enhanced with microfabric properties
… bands" in granular materials. The micro-polar theory was used as the mathematical foundation for the continuum formulations. A laboratory testing results are used for verification and comparison with the numerical simulation. Silica sand and glass beads with different shape indices, size and …

Rare events and dynamics in non-equilibrium systems
… second part of this thesis we develop a general theory of the geometric mechanics of a broad class of microstructured continuum systems. Specifically, we consider systems with configuration spaces that are either Lie groups, or homogeneous spaces. We demonstrate that this theory, which we call a …
