LABORATORY FOR NONEQUILIBRIUM PHENOMENA

About NEPLab

The Laboratory for Nonequilibrium Phenomena (NEPLab) is located in the J. Mike Walker '66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University. We perform computational and experimental research of materials in extreme environments. Such environments include high strain-rate situations (i.e., ballistics and hypervelocity impacts) and non-negligible thermal situations. Employing multiscale mechanics models allows us to capture the pertinent physics on multiple length scales. We can then utilize our understanding to enable the multiscale design of revolutionary multifunctional materials.

Several members of the NEPLab group presented their research at the 2022 Society of Engineering Science Annual Technical Meeting which was held at Texas A&M University. It was a great week to highlight the diverse contributions the students at NEPLab are making to the field of solid mechanics. Congrats to everyone on their hard work!
