JOE D. GODDARD

Resarch and Emeritus Professor of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences

Rsearch Interests

Joe Goddard's research lies mainly in (1) the mechanics of complex fluids and granular media, (2) chemical and bio-molecular transport processes, and (3) continuum themormechanics. 

His research has been focused on the mechanics of fluid-particle suspensions and granular materials, which are ubiquitous in nature and technology. This research, concerned with flow and particle interaction under various conditions, has received extensive past support from the National Science Foundation, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Civil Engineering and Particulate Mechanics Programs, and from the NASA Microgravity Fluid Physics Program.

In addition to the above topics, he is now preoccupied with foundational issues in continuum mechanics and thermodynamics.
