✦ Synopsis

We revisit the dynamical behavior of particles in a chain of spherical elastic grains, where the system is assumed to be placed in such a way that the grains suffer progressive loading as function of depth due to the presence of the gravitational acceleration g. Here we address, for the first time, the dynamics of the surface grain in this rather well studied problem (see [R.S.

The model of a surface barrier was found to explain well the observed behaviour in quasistatic magnetization experiments on high T c superconductors. We study this phenomenon in dynamic conditions in an AC magnetic field with frequencies ranging from 3 Hz up to 115 kHz. The experimental data recorde

On sand and gravel beaches, the increase of the gradient of the beachface with increasing sediment size has been attributed to swash in®ltration. The present study uses a process-based numerical model to examine in detail the role of swash in®ltration in determining the beachface gradient. It is fou
