Suppose a hopper is filled with a granular material such as sand, and you need to compute the force or stress on the hopper walls. If static, this problem is straightforward to solve using FE software ...
Researchers have taken a close look at the flow of materials that have both liquid-like and solid-like states, such as toothpaste, mayonnaise, and ketchup, using both simulations and experiments.
Deposition of many important materials such as semi-conductors is performed using energetic jets under low pressure conditions. In addition, materials that have been deposited, such as silicon, are ...
