Breaking rocks physically
Eunhye Kim | ekim1@mines.edu
“The goal is to better understand fracture behaviors of geomaterials.
Questions: Why and how cracks initiate, coalesce, and propagate?”

Student Preparation
Qualifications
“Undergraduate students who are highly motivated and interested in the areas of (1) fracture mechanics, (2) cutting tool optimization, (3) data science, or (4) computer simulation via experiments and numerical simulations. All levels of students (freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior) who have curiosity, enthusiasm, great communication and report skills are welcome.
Contact me (Dr. Eunhye Kim) as soon as possible to prepare you better based on your level of understanding subjects.”
Time Commitment
35-45 hours/month
Skills/Techniques Gained
Students will perform data analysis and interpretations of experiments, experience the state of the art technologies, and understand the literature related to solid/continuum/rock mechanics and design of physical simulations.
Mentoring Plan
I will meet them weekly on a group basis or individually as needed.
