Micromechanics Of Granular Materials
Explore the fundamental micromechanics of granular materials, focusing on how individual particle interactions govern the bulk behavior of these complex systems. This includes understanding stress transmission, deformation mechanisms, and flow characteristics at the microscale, which ultimately influence macroscopic properties and applications ranging from soil mechanics to pharmaceutical manufacturing. We also look into recent advancements in simulating and predicting granular material behavior using computational micromechanics.
