Mechanics of Many-body (Frictional) Contact in (and for) Granular Rheology and Elasticity

Thursday, February 12, 2026 3:30pm to 4:20pm
Seamans Center

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: Granular media has long been an important material system for multiple disciplines, from as fundamental as (geo) physics to as applied as (civil) engineering. More recently, it also started to receive growing interest from the material science community. In this talk, we discuss how the same small-scale contact process connects to different large-scale mechanical properties -- specifically rheology (a more fluid-like concept) and...
