Pennsylvania State Behrend Undergraduate Student Academic Year Research Grant; Jamming of Low-Aspect Ratio Granular Media in Vertical Channels: Research focused on the probability of granular materials jamming within vertical channels. Obligations: lathe and manufacture cylindrical Delrin grains (within microns of variance), help design a static free acrylic channel, monitor the Arduino apparatus, and perform software image analysis on each recorded jam. After the image data was analyzed, the probability of jamming was calculated per grain aspect ratio.
