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

Express yourself with a unique card with light-up and pop-up elements. Make a card for a friend, sweetheart, or even yourself!
Design Challenges: Water Filtration
Grab your friends and dive into two exciting hands-on challenges! No need to prepare or plan ahead—all materials will be provided—and, yes, there will be pizza both nights. Show up ready to build, create, eat pizza, and have fun. Are you up for the challenge?
Think you can turn simple materials into a working water filter? It’s time to find out!
This event is sponsored by the Lichtenberger Engineering Library, KEEN, NEXUS, and the Water Environment Federation.
