Validation of Continuum and Discrete Modeling Theories against Experimental Observations 

• Discrete modeling of loading rate effects on the behavior of granular materials

• Continuum modeling of two-phase media (e.g. saturated soils) under dynamic loading

• Understanding the role of fabric on macroscopic response of granular materials

• Continuum modeling of metal structures for large cycle loading conditions caused by natural hazards
