11th Northeastern Granular Materials Workshop

1341341PI：O‘Hern该奖项为将于6月份在耶鲁大学举办的颗粒材料研讨会提供部分支持。研讨会将把从事致密颗粒材料研究的科学家和工程师聚集在一起，分享他们在致密颗粒材料的振动模型和非线性响应方面的最新工作，探索新的合作，并确定该领域的突出研究问题。制药行业中的粉末、土壤和颗粒材料在许多自然和工业过程中都是常见的。粒子之间的相互作用力主要是通过与邻居的持久接触实现的。了解和预测它们的流动行为对于设计处理此类材料的设备非常重要。

1341341PI: O'HernThis award provides partial support for a workshop on granular materials to be held in June at Yale University. The workshop will bring scientists and engineers working on dense granular materials together to share their recent work on vibrational models and nonlinear responses of dense granular materials, to explore new collaborations, and to define outstanding research questions in the field.Granular materials such as powder, soil, and pills in the pharmaceutical industry are commonly encountered in many natural and industrial processes. The particles exert forces on each other mostly through the enduring contacts with their neighbors. Understanding and predicting their flow behavior is important in designing equipment for handling such materials.
