CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “A Fractal Landscape Dynamics Approach to Understanding Particle Motion in Soft Jammed Materials” (Clary Rodríguez-Cruz)

217 Towne - Forman Active Learning Classroom 220 South 33rd Street, Towne 217, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Soft jammed materials are disordered viscoelastic solids, composed of densely packed particles, that are commonly found both in the natural world and in a wide range of manufactured products. Their applications are widespread across various industries and technologies, including food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and cosmetics. Understanding the fundamental physics and mathematics behind their highly complex […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Computational Study on Rough Wall-Bounded Flows and their Effects at Low and Very-High Reynolds Numbers”

Towne 313 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Many relevant engineering fluid dynamics problems, such as turbulent flow over an airplane or transport processes in geophysical flows, contain wall-bounded regions that form boundary layers. Oftentimes, numerical and experimental studies are simplified by using smooth surfaces.  This simplification has allowed us to gain a greater understanding of near-wall processes for many flows of interest, […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Implementation and Performance of Wall Models for Large Eddy Simulation of Non-equilibrium Turbulent Boundary Layers”

Room B13, Chemistry Building 231 S. 34th Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Accurate prediction of high-Reynolds-number wall-bounded turbulent flows is essential for the understanding and flow control of many engineering applications such as aircraft, turbomachinery, and marine vehicles. Additionally, most practical flows exhibit nonequilibrium effects such as pressure gradient, flow separation, and mean three-dimensionality. However, the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of high-Reynolds-number wall-bounded turbulent flows is not […]

ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Scalable and Risk-Aware Verification of Learning Enabled Autonomous Systems”

Moore 317 200 S 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

As autonomous systems become more prevalent, ensuring their safety will become more and more important. However, deriving guarantees for these systems is becoming increasingly difficult due to the use of black box, learning enabled components and the growing range of operating domains in which they are deployed. The complexity of the learning-enabled components greatly increases […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Controlling Fracture Behavior Through Architecture”

DRL A8 209 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Many natural materials achieve excellent combinations of mechanical properties through their micro- and nano-scale structures, which leverage a level of complexity currently unmatched in engineering design. Recent advances in digital manufacturing have enabled the introduction of these fine-scale architectures to improve the mechanical properties of materials, but their intricacy still lags far behind that of […]
