About Chris

Associate Professor Chris Wensrich serves in the School of Engineering at the University of Newcastle, Australia, with a robust academic foundation comprising a PhD, Bachelor of Mathematics, and Bachelor of Engineering, all obtained from the University of Newcastle. His research expertise centers on granular mechanics, encompassing micromechanics and homogenisation of granular systems, analytical modelling of granular dynamics—particularly the silo quaking problem—and computational modelling via the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Wensrich is renowned for advancing neutron diffraction strain scanning techniques applied to granular systems, neutron diffraction-based strain measurement, and Bragg-edge Transmission Strain Tomography, where he demonstrated the world's first practical implementation beyond simple axisymmetric systems. His research keywords include Granular Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Neutron Diffraction, Solid Mechanics, and Strain Tomography, aligning with the field of Mechanical Engineering not elsewhere classified.
