CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “Tackling Energy Sector Challenges with Interdisciplinary Research and Education Initiatives”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesTackling the energy sector’s pressing technological and workforce needs requires a multi-pronged approach. This talk will include a discussion of both technical research and educational approaches to address these needs. The educational initiatives include implementation of the Energy Fellows Program, a training and professional development program, as well as research on the varying perceptions of […]
CANCELLED: CBE Seminar – “Model-Based Chemical Product Design and Analysis”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Chemical products are usually designed and developed through heuristic rule-based and/or trial-and-error experiment-based approaches. Although this kind of approaches often lead to safe and reliable product designs, since it is not practically feasible to consider all alternatives, it may not be possible to find the optimal product. As an alternative approach, the use of […]

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesCANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “U.S. Army Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technologies”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesWith the constantly changing threat environment, the Army needs to be able to quickly adapt their tactics and equipment. But burdensome and lengthy acquisition cycles make this challenging. Additive manufacturing can potentially be utilized to overcome many of the challenges and enables on-demand manufacturing of repair parts, as well as rapid prototyping. Through topology optimization, […]
POSTPONED: John A. Quinn Distinguished Lecture: “Molecular and Colloidal Interactions in Water”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Life occurs in water, and water-mediated interactions between molecules and interfaces are central to biological assembly processes. Synthetic materials as common as shampoo rely on water-mediated interactions. This presentation will describe experiments that highlight our lack of understanding of interactions in water. This lack of understanding presents the opportunity to formulate a refined set […]

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesCANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “Modeling the Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Structures”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesI will present recent work on the modeling of the structural response of shape memory alloy tubes, bars, and beams. We have developed a new constitutive model that captures pseudoelastic transformation induced recoverable deformation in SMAs including the strong asymmetries in the tensile and compressive responses. Instead of introducing multiple conditions for forward phase transformation, […]
