Ruize Hu presented his research at ASME IMECE 2016 Conference
Nov. 16, 2016—Ruize presented his research in two different areas through one poster and two oral presentations. One of the oral presentation and poster is entitled: “Nonlocal Homogenization Model for Wave Dispersion and Attenuation in Elastic and Viscoelastic Heterogeneous Media”. Presentation Abstract: Heterogeneous materials exhibit complex response patterns when subjected to dynamic loading due to the intrinsic...
Xiang Zhang presented his research at 2016 ANS Winter Meeting and Nuclear Technology Expo
Nov. 8, 2016—The title of the Xiang’s presentation and paper (co-authored by Dr. Van Tung Phan) is: “Microstructural creep, fatigue and creep-fatigue modeling of Nickel-based superalloy Inconel 617 at high temperature”. Abstract: Inconel 617 is a solution strengthened nickel-based alloy which has been considered as one of the leading structural material for the intermediate heat exchangers (IHX)...
MCML and Northrup Grumman form new partnership for composites durability and damage assessment
Aug. 24, 2016—MCML is forming a partnership with Northrup Grumman Corporation to model durability and damage tolerance of fastened composite joints. This project, funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory, will investigate the capabilities of the progressive damage accumulation models in capturing composite joint failure scenarios in support of composite certification efforts of the Air Force.
