LAMP Seminar: “Mechanics of Contact, Friction, and Fracture (by design) – Towards the Interaction between the Natural and Built Environment”
/
LRSM Reading Room
3231 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA, United States
Contact, friction, and fracture are fundamental processes governing the emergent (mechanical) behaviors of various complex (material) systems, from as large as tectonic slip to as small as third-body wear. In this talk, we briefly discuss (1) challenges in understanding the (nonlinear) mechanics of these processes, specifically focusing on those designed into metamaterials, and (2) novel […]
