CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “Modeling the Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Structures”
I 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 […]
CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “U.S. Army Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technologies”
With 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 […]
MEAM Seminar: “Scalable Algorithms for the Computational Modeling of Complex Multi-Physics Systems”
The computational modeling of complex multi-physics problems often requires specialized approaches in the formulation, implementation, and deployment of algorithms that lie outside the scope of conventional practice in physics-based modeling […]
MEAM Seminar: “Multiscale Interactions in Multiphase Turbulent Flows: Fundamentals to Applications”
Recent advances in experimental measurements and numerical simulations has allowed us to discover new phenomena in multiphase turbulence (a flow regime characterized by chaotic and irregular motion in the presence […]
CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “Wind Farm Dynamics and Power Optimization in Realistic Atmospheric Boundary Layer Conditions”
The study of wind farms within realistic atmospheric boundary layer conditions is critical to understand the governing physics of the system and to design optimal operational protocols. Historically, control protocols […]
MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Applications of a Double-stranded Elastic Rod Model to DNA”
In the first part of the presentation, we discuss a double-stranded elastic rod (birod) model and apply it to study allosteric interactions between two ligands on DNA. Next, we combine […]
MEAM Seminar: “Microdevices Enabled by Rarefied Flows”
In this talk we will review emerging applications of rarefied gas dynamics for microscale sensing, actuation and power generation. Performance of conventional fluidic devices such as pumps, combustors and heat […]
MEAM Seminar: “Plate Mechanical Metamaterials and their Applications”
Recently, we introduced the concept of plate mechanical metamaterials—cellular plates with carefully controlled periodic geometry and unique mechanical properties—as well as its initial realization in the form of freestanding corrugated […]
