Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can inform sustainable design of buildings and cities in terms of optimizing pedestrian wind comfort, air quality, thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and resiliency to extreme wind events. An important challenge is that the accuracy of CFD results can be compromised by the large natural variability and complex physics that are characteristic […]

The fascinating diversity of material behavior at the macroscopic scale, including plasticity, phase transformations, viscoelasticity or diffusion, can only emerge from the underlying atomistic or particle behavior. Yet, the direct connection between these two scales for non-equilibrium phenomena remains an extremely challenging quest from both a theoretical and computational perspective. This knowledge gap currently hinders […] |

Architected plates feature geometrical patterns that provide advantageous mechanical properties, such as an enhanced bending stiffness or a reduced tendency to tear. In this talk I will introduce our research group’s multiscale hexagonally patterned corrugated plates, which have nano-scale film thicknesses, micron-scale total heights, and square-centimeter-scale lateral area dimensions. I will first explain how we […] |
