A complete solution of the internal erosion problem for granular media

One of the most common mechanisms for the failure of Earth structures is via internal erosion, where fine particles are washed out of the material by the action of water. This proje more...

Modelling the behaviour of random materials

During this project the PhD student is expected to derive and establish fundamental relationships that will help in describing the behaviour random materials. more...

Micromechanics of soft particulate materials

The purpose of this project is to study experimentally and numerically the micromechanics of deforming soft particles, from a radically new way. more...

Subbase degradation: permeability and strength reductions by means of breakage soil mechanics

How exactly should grain crushing be introduced to model permeability and strength reductions? The answer of this question will be the primary objective of this PhD research, which more...

Image analysis of the kinematics and size reduction of grains in cataclasis

The experimental challenges in this research will be quite unique in that we will endeavor to see and thereafter analyse the kinematics and the grain size reduction using two novel more...

Dynamic Responses of Granular Materials to Impact Loading

This project aims to experimentally investigate the dynamic responses of granular materials to high strain rates loading using split Hopkinson bar. The experimental data will be use more...
