We’re thrilled to share our latest research: “Three-dimensional micromechanical expression for the average strain tensor of granular materials” — now published in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids (JMPS)!🎉🎉🎉Read the full paper here: https://t.co/V6DZTTs6EG

After 6 years I got to wear my PhD regalia again. This time is to celebrate the graduation of my 3 PhD students and 1 MS student. Truly proud of all of them for thriving the graduate school despite the numerous distractions over the past years.

Dear colleagues, within our Computing Centre for Geotechnical Engineering at Zhejiang University, we are looking for 5 highly motivated and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Fellows, working on experimental and computational Geomechanics. More info: https://t.co/zb7JEp1XDZ

PhD position available in our group on numerical modeling (DEM and peridynamics) of dry bio-refinery across scales ranging from plant tissue dissociation up to the process scale for energy applications.

I have successfully implemented this model in Finite Element code, see https://t.co/AD2o2i2CrZ.

#dailymechanician Ching-Shung Chang (UMass) is an expert on micromechanics of granular matters & geomaterials. With Hicher he proposed an elastoplastic law based on average mobilization of particle contact. For sand, the model allows for void ratio & mean stress to be reflected.

An additional excuse to go to Budapest? We are organising a workshop on grading entropy, particle size/shape effects, etc. Just before the start of the 6th International Conference on Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization (ISC6). Just contact me for more info!

We have just developed a new method to measure the surface tension of a liquid. The value of surface tension is very important when we investigate the capillary effect in wet granular materials. Please find our Powder Technology paper at: https://t.co/9JfHe6o2NK.

Deadline coming soon...

[Chaofa Zhao @Chaofa_ZHAO]

This afternoon I gave a talk on capillary bridges between spherical particles under volume and suction control in the group of Prof. Stefan Luding at the University of Twente. More information about my talk could be found at: https://t.co/oI9ChJLcZ0

If you are interested on numerical modelling and particle shape we are expecting to see you in Durham next year at this Mini-Symposium we are organising with @SNadimi and other colleagues at Newcastle University. https://t.co/CIqcyuKyEV Abstract submission by Nov. 15th.
