Michelle Lee Barry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Arkansas College of Engineering. Her research focuses on multi-scale granular material behavior, experimentally validated discrete element method (DEM) models, and applications of geotechnical engineering in historic preservation.
- Ph.D., Texas A&M University (2013)
- M.S., Texas A&M University (2009)
- B.S., Texas A&M University (2008)
Barry's research spans geotechnical laboratory testing, numerical modeling, and soil dynamics. She has applied these methodologies to infrastructure assessment (bridge scour, levees, dams) and additive manufacturing processes. Her work integrates experimental validation with computational modeling to address engineering challenges.
Recent publications highlight her contributions to geophysical survey techniques, soil resistivity analysis, and DEM calibration for metallic powder simulations. Applications include transportation infrastructure, flood protection, and advanced materials fabrication.
Barry teaches undergraduate Soil Mechanics and graduate courses in Numerical Modeling and Soil Dynamics. Her research has been published in journals such as Transportation Geotechnics, Geotechnical Testing Journal, and Granular Matter.
