Tailored Mechanical Response of 3D Microgranular Crystals with Hierarchical Architecture
Granular media exhibit extraordinary impact-mitigating properties due to their nonlinear grain-to-grain interactions, enabling efficient energy dissipation and wave perturbation under dynamic loading—behaviors unattainable in conventional monolithic materials. Recent efforts have sought to engineer …

Photoporomechanics: a new technique to explore grain-scale mechanisms for fluid-driven fractures in granular media
Multiphase flow through granular and porous materials exhibits complex behavior, the understanding of which is critical in many natural and industrial processes like infiltration of water into the vadose zone, water dropout in fuel cells, and geological carbon dioxide storage. While fluid–fluid …

Modelling dry granular flows over topography
Dry granular flows are common and important in the environment and industry, and yet their behaviour is very poorly understood. The dynamics of individual grains are governed by the simple and well-known laws of Newtonian mechanics, but how do these 'microscopic' particle-level laws translate into …
