MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Lightweight Structures Enabled by Microfabrication”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

Lightweight structures are the product of the science of making systems as light as possible with constraints, which often refer to being sufficiently strong and stiff. Although the development of lightweight structures was initially driven by the demands for better fuel and material economy, the recent advancements in microfabrication have allowed the manufacture of structures […]

MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “Controlled Levitation of Nanostructured Thin Films for Sun-Powered Near-Space Flight”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

Earth’s mesosphere is the least studied part of our atmosphere. The data it contains within itself can help develop more comprehensive and accurate models of the atmosphere and can help us understand our climate better. The main challenge before scientists is the inaccessibility of this region. The pressure is not high enough for aircraft and […]

MEAM PhD Thesis Defense: “A Differential Homogenization Framework for Precipitation-Strengthened Metals”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

Composite materials, such as metal- and polymer-matrix composites, exhibit both elastic and dissipative effects when subjected to macroscopic loadings. Even when the phases of the composite are characterized by a simple Maxwell rheology, the complex viscoelastic interactions between the phases give rise to emergent behavior at the macroscopic scale. Incorporating these ``long-memory'' effects in the […]
