Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The project addresses the mechanical and rheological properties of composite and polymeric materials. The key objective is to apply three dimensional Lagrangian finite element techniques to the flow of materials with novel constitutive equations, and also to composite soft materials where the constitutive rheology itself is an outstanding problem. Developing the numerical techniques particularly tetrahedral meshes, will comprise a significant dement of the project. On the powders front, the work will entail some elaboration of the basic continuum equations.
