Statistical mechanics continues to offer a robust framework for understanding the collective behaviour of interacting spin systems, where each constituent is endowed with discrete or continuous ...

This article discusses the derivation of continuum models that can be used for modelling the inhomogeneous mechanical behaviour of granular assemblies. These so-called kinematically enhanced models ...

The main objective of work package 3 is to improve the understanding of the transition between discrete and continuum nonlocal models, which are investigated as part of the first two main objectives ...
