The statistical properties of avalanches in a dissipative particulate system under slow shear are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the magnitude-frequency distribution obeys the Gutenberg-Richter law only in the proximity of a critical density and that the exponent is sensitive to the minute changes in density. It is also found that aftershocks occur in this system with a decay rate that follows the Modified Omori law. We show that the exponent of the magnitude-frequency distribution and the time constant of the Modified Omori law are decreasing functions of the shear stress. The dependences of these two parameters on shear stress coincide with recent seismological observations [D. Schorlemmer et al. Nature 437, 539 (2005); C. Narteau et al. Nature 462, 642 (2009)].

The simplest solvable problem of stress transmission through a static granular material is when the grains are perfectly rigid and have an average coordination number of $bar{z}=d+1$. Under these conditions there exists an analysis of stress which is
independent of the analysis of strain and the $d$ equations of force balance $ abla_{j} sigma_{ij}({vec r}) = g_{i}({vec r})$ have to be supported by $frac{d(d-1)}{2}$ equations. These equations are of purely geometric origin. A method of deriving them has been proposed in an earlier paper. In this paper alternative derivations are discussed and the problem of the missing equations is posed as a geometrical puzzle which has yet to find a systematic solution as against sensible but fundamentally arbitrary approaches.
Combining X-ray tomography with simultaneous shear force measurement, we investigate shear-induced granular avalanches using spherical particles with different surface roughness. We find that systems consisting of particles with large surface roughne
ss display quasi-periodic avalanches interrupted by crackling-like small ones. In contrast, systems consisting of particles with small roughness display no detectable avalanches. The stress drop of quasi-periodic avalanche shows a linear relation with the correlation length of particle non-affine displacement, suggesting that roughness enhances inter-particle locking and hence particle-level dynamic correlation length. However, the nonaffine displacement is two orders of magnitude smaller than particle size, indicating that stress is mainly released on the length scale of roughness. The correlation length of non-affine displacements abruptly increases when a quasi-periodic avalanche occurs, suggesting that quasi-periodic avalanches can be interpreted as a spinodal nucleation event in a first-order phase transition.
It is demonstrated, by numerical simulations of a 2D assembly of polydisperse disks, that there exists a range (plateau) of coarse graining scales for which the stress tensor field in a granular solid is nearly resolution independent, thereby enablin
g an `objective definition of this field. Expectedly, it is not the mere size of the the system but the (related) magnitudes of the gradients that determine the widths of the plateaus. Ensemble averaging (even over `small ensembles) extends the widths of the plateaus to sub-particle scales. The fluctuations within the ensemble are studied as well. Both the response to homogeneous forcing and to an external compressive localized load (and gravity) are studied. Implications to small solid systems and constitutive relations are briefly discussed.
Simulated granular packings with different particle friction coefficient mu are examined. The distribution of the particle-particle and particle-wall normal and tangential contact forces P(f) are computed and compared with existing experimental data.
Here f equivalent to F/F-bar is the contact force F normalized by the average value F-bar. P(f) exhibits exponential-like decay at large forces, a plateau/peak near f = 1, with additional features at forces smaller than the average that depend on mu. Computations of the force-force spatial distribution function and the contact point radial distribution function indicate that correlations between forces are only weakly dependent on friction and decay rapidly beyond approximately three particle diameters. Distributions of the particle-particle contact angles show that the contact network is not isotropic and only weakly dependent on friction. High force-bearing structures, or force chains, do not play a dominant role in these three dimensional, unloaded packings.
We observe the failure process of a fiber bundle model with a variable stress release range, $gamma$, higher the value of $gamma$ lower the stress release range. By tuning $gamma$ from low to high, it is possible to go from the mean-field (MF) limit
of the model to local load sharing (LLS) where local stress concentration plays a crucial role. In the MF limit, the avalanche size $s$ and energy $E$ emitted during the avalanche are highly correlated producing the same distribution for both $P(s)$ and $Q(E)$: a scale-free distribution with a universal exponent -5/2. With increasing $gamma$, the model enters the LLS limit. In this limit, due to the presence of local stress concentration such correlation $C(gamma)$ between $s$ and $E$ decreases where the nature of the decreases depends highly on the dimension of the bundle. In 1d, the $C(gamma)$ stars from a high value for low $gamma$ and decreases towards zero when $gamma$ is increased. As a result, $Q(E)$ and $P(s)$ are similar at low $gamma$, an exponential one, and then $Q(E)$ becomes power-law for high-stress release range though $P(s)$ remains exponential. On the other hand, in 2d, the $C(gamma)$ decreases slightly with $gamma$ but remains at a high value. Due to such a high correlation, the distribution of both $s$ and $E$ is exponential in the LLS limit independent of how large $gamma$ is.
