Scott Williams successfully defended his Master’s Thesis. Congratulations Scott! – 12/02/2019
Dec. 2, 2019—The title of Scott’s thesis is: “A Computational Study of an Aerospace Structural Panel Subjected to High Velocity Flow” Abstract: Computational material models for analyzing aerodynamic loads on metallic supersonic and hy- personic aircraft panels rarely include plastic deformation. In this study, the Multi-Yield Surface Plasticity model is introduced as a new technique to the...
Caglar Oskay delivered an invited talk at NASA Langley Research Center- 11/21/2019
Nov. 21, 2019—Lecture Title: Multiscale Approach to Progressive Damage Analysis in Composite Materials – New Developments Location: NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA. Abstract: Concurrent multiscale modeling approaches (e.g., computational homogenization) offer a promising path to achieving the desired predictive capability in progressive damage analysis and failure response of composite materials and structures. Unfortunately, since their inception,...
