Suspensions of non-Brownian particles in fluids are commonly found in nature (e.g. mud, soils, and debris flows) and in the industry (e.g. paints, food, and cosmetics). Understanding the relations between […]

Stress-induced solid-to-solid phase transitions form a large class of phase transitions in nature. They occur in materials that can exhibit different crystal structures under different conditions (stress and temperature), and […]

Surface force-mediated adhesion, e.g. van der Waals forces, is critical for direct bonding of bulk solids in the absence of an adhesive layer. However, no two surfaces are ideally flat […]

Precipitation-strengthened alloys are a commercially important class of materials because their mechanical properties can be altered by changing the microstructure through heat-treatment. Specifically, precipitates are introduced into the bulk (matrix) […]
