This talk discusses recent and ongoing research on the multiphysics response of polymeric gels. A polymeric gel is a polymeric material swollen by a fluid, and the intake or out-flow causes large deformations. Also, many gels respond to environmental stimuli such as temperature, electric and magnetic fields, pH, and more. The responsiveness of polymeric gels […]

Abstract: Turbulence is an unsolved problem in classical physics. Its modeling often involves physical, mathematical, and numerical concepts that are daunting to even experienced engineers. This makes it very hard for a user to take a turbulence model from the literature and apply it in real-world engineering. This talk will take a layman's perspective to […]

Fiber networks at different length scales represent a prevalent microstructure of highly deformable materials and biological matter. At the microscale, these fiber networks are key for the function of biological systems, while at the macroscale they endow materials with striking characteristics, such as unusual kinematic behavior and high defect tolerance. Resolving the microstructure in discrete […]
