Resolving Force Indeterminacy in Contact Dynamics Using Compatibility Conditions
Tyler Olsen, Ken Kamrin
Contact dynamics (CD) is a powerful method to solve the dynamics of large systems of colliding rigid bodies. CD can be computationally more efficient than classical penalty-based d…

Coupled dynamics of flow, microstructure, and conductivity in sheared suspensions
Tyler Olsen, Ahmed Helal, Gareth McKinley +1
We propose a model for the evolution of the conductivity tensor for a flowing suspension of electrically conductive particles. We use discrete particle numerical simulations togeth…

Modeling tensorial conductivity of particle suspension networks
Tyler Olsen, Ken Kamrin
Significant microstructural anisotropy is known to develop during shearing flow of attractive particle suspensions. These suspensions, and their capacity to form conductive network…
