SYMPOSIUM: Support for U.S. Participants for the Symposium on "Statics and Dynamics of Dense Granular Matter," July 6 - 10, 2015, Madrid, Spain

CBET-1460426PI: O'Hern， corey这个项目将支持美国科学家和工程师参加一个名为“致密颗粒物质的静力学和动力学”的研讨会，该研讨会将于2015年7月6日至10日在西班牙马德里举行的欧洲固体力学会议期间举行。研讨会将重点关注干燥颗粒材料，这是悬浮液，其中颗粒之间的唯一相互作用发生在它们彼此接触时。该研讨会将为美国领先的研究小组与欧洲同行和来自世界各地的其他研究人员提供一种互动的方式。鼓励初级研究人员参加。干颗粒物料出现在各种重要的工业和自然过程中。当这些材料在致密状态下加工时，它们会产生特殊的问题，因为它们会经历流动和堵塞状态之间的过渡。干扰的特性不仅取决于颗粒材料，还取决于导致干扰的过程。本次研讨会将涵盖这些材料的一系列主题，包括无摩擦和摩擦颗粒的填料，颗粒悬浮物，密集流动的本构律，剪切诱导的干扰和剪切增厚，以及涉及颗粒材料的地球物理应用。

CBET-1460426PI: O'Hern, CoreyThis project will support the participation of US scientists and engineers in a symposium titled Statics and Dynamics of Dense Granular Matter, which will be held during the European Solid Mechanics Conference in Madrid, Spain from July 6 - 10, 2015. The symposium will focus on dry granular materials, which are suspensions in which the only interaction between particles occurs when they contact each other. The symposium will provide a way for leading research groups in the U.S. to interact with their European counterparts and other researchers from around the world. Participation by junior researchers will be encouraged.Dry granular materials appear in a variety of important industrial and natural processes. These materials pose special problems when they are processed in the dense state, because they can undergo a transition between a flowing and jammed state. The characteristics of jamming depend not only on the granular material but also on the process that leads to jamming. This symposium will cover a range of topics for such materials including packings of frictionless and frictional particles, granular suspensions, constitutive laws for dense flows, shear-induced jamming and shear thickening, and geophysical applications involving granular materials.
