Designed Granular Materials

Karola Dierichs gives a talk on her research into designed granular materials at the Lorentz Center in Leiden in the Netherlands as part of the international workshop »Getting into Shape – Pushing for Exotic Particulate Media Mechanics« in the session »Overview of Recent Work on Non-convex Particle Systems« on June 22nd, 1.30 pm. The Workshop considers the spectrum of ›shape effects‹, ranging from intrinsically anisometric grains to easily deformable particles. The former is imbued by construction with a sense of direction; the latter obtains a non-trivial shape due to its local deformation environment. The workshop therefore aims to bring together a selection of upcoming and leading academic and private sector scientists from various fields that consider such particle shape effects to discuss the most fruitful experimental, numerical and theoretical directions for future work and application development in the field.
