When a material is not quite a fluid and not quite a solid, that’s when we are getting fascinated.
about us
The Multiscale Mechanics (MSM) group studies physical and mechanical processes with distinct characteristic scales (large versus small, slow versus fast, localized versus collective) are equally important – and interacting. We develop models based on the fundamental principles of fluids and solids. To overcome the challenges of scale transition, we use and develop high-performance computing, numerical analysis, statistics and experiments. With these tools, we optimise semi-solid rechargeable batteries, develop powder mixing processes, design self-healing materials – and much more.
