Calibration methodologies for industrial/geophysics granular materials

The University of Manchester

Department of Mathematics

This PhD project addresses the "calibration problem" in particulate continuum models and particle simulations. Specifically, it focuses on developing robust methodologies for selecting and parameterising contact models, a crucial but challenging task due to the lack of standardised measurement techniques.
