MCML receive a new NSF award: Mechanics and Dynamics of Viscoelastic Metacomposites
Jul. 22, 2014—Title: Mechanics and Dynamics of Viscoelastic Metacomposites Source of Support : National Science Foundation, CMMI Mechanics of Materials Program. Program Manager Dr/ Thomas Siegmund. Abstract: Metamaterials are man-made materials that exhibit unusual properties (such as negative apparent stiffness and density) not ordinarily observed in nature. These exceptional properties allow realization of structural behavior that is...
Tong Hui successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation. Congratulations Dr. Hui!
Jun. 28, 2014—Tong Hui’s dissertation is entitled: Multiscale Modeling of the Dynamic Response of Composite Structures. He will continue his career at GE Global Research. Dissertation Abstract This research proposes a computational framework of the dynamic response of composite structures based on the mathematical homogenization theory with multiple spatial scales. The computational framework serves to reproduce wave...
