How Forces and Pressures Propagate Through Granular Materials

Caption: This video illustrates the work of NJIT mathematician Lou Kondic using mathematical modeling to investigate how forces and pressures propagate through granular materials. The video shows strong forces (in yellow) moving through the granular system driven by the motion of one of the boundaries. The blue color illustrates the background force field.
