Reinforced rubber allows the production of passenger car tires with improved rolling
resistance and wet grip. This book provides in-depth coverage of the physics behind …

Observation of the rotational brownian motion, of a very fine wire immersed in a gas led to
one of the most important ideas of equilibrium statistical mechanics. Namely, the many …

Dynamic strain-induced nonlinearity in the modulus of filled rubbers shows a striking
similarity to what is known about the glass transition of solid materials and the jamming …

Segregation in Vibrated Granular Systems explains the individual mechanisms that
influence the segregation of granular media under vibration, along with their interactions …

We propose, in this paper, a model for predicting the rheological response of both vibrated
and sheared 3D granular suspensions in stationary and nonstationary conditions. The major …

The extremely slow compaction dynamics of wet granular assemblies is studied
experimentally. The cohesion, due to capillary bridges between neighboring grains, is tuned …

We report a study on granular matter with and without small additions of silicon oil, under
low-frequency and large amplitude oscillatory shear strain under constant normal pressure …

The extremal Fourier intensities are studied for stationary Edwards-Wilkinson-type,
Gaussian, interfaces with power-law dispersion. We calculate the probability distribution of …

In this paper we apply and discuss some new aspects to the steric interaction of filler
particles in reinforced elastomers under dynamic mechanical loading conditions. At certain …

Solid He 4 is viewed as a nearly perfect Debye solid. Yet recent calorimetry indicates that its
low-temperature specific heat has both cubic and linear contributions. These features …
