AboutAbout the lab
Predicting the behavior of ground and granular materials from particle-level mechanics
The Granular Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering Lab researches with the aim of predicting, from particle-level mechanics, the phenomena in which ground and various granular materials deform, fail, and flow.
To this end, the lab builds fundamental theory, develops a variety of experimental and analytical methods, and also works on their applied research.
The lab belongs to the Frontier Engineering research group in the Department of Structural Energy Engineering, Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering.
The lab website publishes bachelor's, master's, and doctoral theses.
Key terms
- Granular material
- A material made up of a large number of solid particles
- Geotechnical engineering
- A field of engineering that investigates the behavior of ground, such as deformation and failure, using the principles of mechanics
