STEM Exposition, 2014
A tabletop simulation is developed for middle school students in order to demonstrate concepts behind volcanoes, faults, stratification, and segregation.
A series of physical experiments in a Hele-Shaw cell-like configuration have been conducted to verify such the conceptual hypothesis that in the regimes beyond injection permeation, there must exist a transition from the solid-like response in the... Read more
Geoshanghai Exposition, 2014
In this work, the scratch test is modeled numerically using the distinct element method (DEM) to better understand: 1) the effect of the cutting velocity on the failure mode, 2) the connection between the characteristics of the force signals and the failure modes, 3) the feasibility of... Read more
