Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: Predicting how complex systems respond during rapid changes in operating conditions remains a fundamental challenge across engineering. In marine engineering, this challenge is particularly evident during transient ship maneuvers, such as accelerating, stopping, and turning, where strong interactions occur between the ship, its propulsion system, and the surrounding fluid. Recent advances in free-running computational simulations have...

PRESENTATION: The study, optimization and data-driven modeling of aeroelastic systems require evaluating their dynamics for large parametric spaces. Obtaining comprehensive datasets of such systems is challenging as a result of the nonlinear and tightly coupled fluid and structural mechanics that govern their behavior. In this research, a cyber-physical platform is developed that enables fast evaluation of the two-way coupled fluid-structure...

Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: Granular media has long been an important material system for multiple disciplines, from as fundamental as (geo) physics to as applied as (civil) engineering. More recently, it also started to receive growing interest from the material science community. In this talk, we discuss how the same small-scale contact process connects to different large-scale mechanical properties -- specifically rheology (a more fluid-like concept) and...
