Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: The current manufacturing paradigm is shifting toward production systems that demand significantly greater flexibility and adaptability. To achieve this objective, new system-level control strategies must be developed to control and coordinate different components on the shop floor. I will present our recent approaches to enhance flexibility and adaptability of manufacturing systems across multiple layers of automation. I will begin...

PRESENTATION: Our work is motivated by the need to understand and predict turbulent particle-laden flows across a range of environmental and industrial applications. In this talk, we consider a relatively canonical yet challenging experimental flow designed to be accessible to direct numerical simulation. A spherical particle in a turbulent boundary layer undergoes complicated particle-wall and particle-turbulence interactions. Particles with...

Are you unsure which journal to publish in? Have you ever wondered how to identify and avoid predatory publishers? What is the difference between traditional publishing and open access? This workshop will provide answers to these questions and more, and you’ll learn strategies for navigating the jungle of scholarly publishing. Bring your own questions too! Presented by Kari Kozak, director, Sciences and Engineering Libraries.
