SUMMARY:Geological materials under extreme conditions - Dr Chris Braithwai
 te\, Surfaces\, Microstructure & Fracture Group\, Cavendish Laboratory
DTSTART:20150512T080000Z

CONTACT:Leona Hope-Coles
DESCRIPTION:Explosive loading\, for example in mining\, can subject geolog
 ical materials to rapid loading to pressures in the gigapascal range. In o
 rder to better understand the response of materials to such environments\,
  and optimise the industrial processes involved\, controlled experiments c
 an be conducted in the laboratory. This talk will detail the results of a 
 number of experimental investigations conducted in the SMF group\, includi
 ng the development of a novel technique to measure unloading in granular m
 aterials.
