It has been a whirlwind
Spring semester!

Rupert's Drops' shatter-resistant behavior.
Our enrollments continue to grow. In the past academic year, the School
graduated 234 undergraduate students and 79 graduate students. Our
students are learning cutting-edge techniques in courses, are making significant research contributions in their fields, and are showcasing their
creativity in videos and paintings - read the stories below about their amazing

IE's Srinivasan Chandrasekar, Professor and Director of the Purdue Center for Materials Processing and Tribology, and his international research team have solved the 400-year-old mystery of Prince Rupert's Drops. The team used integrated photoelasticity to measure the complex stress distribution that give these glass drops their shatter-resistant behavior. |
