6/25/2014 Professor Yin, F.L. Chen, L.Q. Yang received an award from Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
We have received an award on the topic "Particulate Composite Mixing Processes" from Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The overall objective of the proposed work is to develop a DEM/DPD coupled granular mixing algorithms for both wet and viscous fluid operating conditions and a final software package that is able to accurately model particulate composite mixing processes in a viscous fluid in a high shear mixing environment with two or more material types of different shape, size, density, or surface roughness to a mechanically stable and homogeneous state.

6/25/2014 Professor Yin's textbook - Introduction to the Micromechanics of Composite Materials- is offered for publication
After several years' preparation, the textbook - Introduction to the Micromechanics of Composite Materials - for Professor Yin's class "ENME E4115 - Micromechanics of Composite Materials" is offered for publication by CRC Press and Spon Press (imprints of Taylor & Francis). After a critial review process by five reviewers, the Senior Editor, Mr. Tony Moore, announced this decision by the Publishing Committee. Dr. Yingtao Zhao will coauthor with Professor Yin on this textbook. It has been cited as "... a very rigorous and strong book" in their communication. We look forward to seeing a very useful book emerge.

Prof. Yin and P.-h. Lee and Y. J. Liu published ''Equivalent inclusion method for the Stokes flow of drops moving in a viscous fluid'' in Journal of applied mechanics.
Abstract:
The equivalent inclusion method is presented to derive the Stokes flow of multiple drops moving in a
viscous fluid at a small Reynolds number. The drops are replaced by inclusions with the same viscosity
as the fluid, but an eigenstrain rate field that is a fictitious non-mechanical strain rate field is introduced
to represent the viscosity mismatch between each drop and the matrix fluid. The velocity and pressure
fields can be solved by considering the body force and eigenstrain rate on the inclusions with the Green’s
function technique. When one spherical drop is considered, the solution recovers the closed-form classic
solution. This method is versatile and can be used in the simulation of a many-body system with different
drop size, elongation ratio, and viscosity. Numerical examples demonstrate the capability and accuracy
of the proposed formulation and illustrate particles’ rotation and motion caused by particle interactions.
