Congratulations Hang Shu for successfully defending his doctoral dissertation, "Impulse-Induced Nonlinear Dynamics of Flexible Mechanical Metamaterials," under the advisory of Jordan Raney, Associate Professor in MEAM. Shu’s work explored mechanical metamaterials—artificially designed structures with unique properties determined by their internal structure. By investigating nonlinear dynamics, the research expanded understanding of how these materials can transform engineering design across deployable structures, reconfigurable robots, and advanced mechanical systems. Shu's next chapter will begin at Dow as a Senior Research Specialist in R&D with a focus on mechanical and process science. 🎉 Read more about Shu's work and experience here: https://lnkd.in/eVYCZ7zR

We invite researchers to submit their abstracts on multifunctional structures for space applications. The topics of interest range from analytical and design studies to computational modeling and experimental validations. Our focus is on nature-inspired adaptive/multifunctional structures, art-inspired structures (like Origami foldable designs), ultra-thin ply composites, metamaterials, Additive Manufacturing in space, designs for space habitats, and more (not an exhaustive list). Please note that the extended deadline to submit full paper abstracts is March 27th and presentation-only abstracts on July 16th. Submission details are available at https://lnkd.in/gKMGxxUC. Remember to select Track 5 on Advances in Aerospace Technology, Topic 19: Multifunctional Structures for Space and ISAM while submitting. We look forward to seeing you there!

Based on more than 12 years of intensive and focused research, APO-GEE has developed strong expertise in application engineering and the creation of innovative ball bearing solutions. People often ask us what drives our success. The answer lies in our unique approach. While conventional ball bearing models often rely on Newtonian mechanics and force equilibrium, they simplify key aspects of ball kinematics. This can leave gaps in accurate modeling and understanding. APO-GEE has redefined this landscape with an innovative method that introduces a power-based equilibrium criterion. Our approach respects Newton’s laws but goes further, allowing us to achieve precise kinematic computations for true bearing equilibrium—without approximations. This cutting-edge methodology has enabled breakthrough innovations like our Butterfly cage and Cobweb bearing, both made possible through our specialized computational suite, ROSE.

Thanks you to my dear co-authors Sajad Mousaviasl and Behzad Mosalla Nezhad we have published our paper titled "A metaheuristic-based comparative structure for solving discrete space mechanical engineering problem" recently. https://lnkd.in/daMuQFBM #optimization #metaheuristic #compositematerial

Professor Ben Beake of Micro Materials Ltd will present a talk at the first International Conference on Surface Science, Engineering & Technology, (SSET-2024) taking place at the The University of Manchester 17th-19th September 2024. Micro Materials Ltd, known for our innovations in materials characterisation, is delighted to be contributing to this inaugural event. The subject of Prof Beake's talk is the randomised impact test technique - a novel test technique pioneered during the last year at our Wrexham laboratory.   In the talk, entitled "Randomised Impact testing - a new technique to replicate the damage mechanisms in solid particle erosion of thermal barrier coatings",  Ben will show how this technique can be used to study erosion impact-by-impact, producing findings which then greatly assist in the design of improved thermal barrier coatings. When used by manufacturers of aerospace engines, for example, improved coatings will reduce costs - and also the environmental impact of the engines.   To find out more about this exciting new test technique (patent pending) , please visit the  Downloads section on the Impact page, at https://lnkd.in/ekGybGnz To register for the SSET-2024 conference, go to https://lnkd.in/etqYFty5 #materialsresearch #erosionresistance #impacttesting #coatings

Digital twins are quickly revolutionizing materials science by offering virtual replicas of physical materials or processes that previously required physical experimentation. These digital counterparts are enabling researchers and industry professionals to simulate and analyze materials' behavior under various conditions, saving time and resources. This fall, the course “Principles of Digital Twins in Material Science and Advanced Manufacturing” led by Dr.-Ing. Franck Adjogble will give students an introduction to digital twin modeling, so they can better understand the applicability of AI-predictive analytics, with particular regard to the metal and steel industries.

The University of the Bundeswehr Munich is at the forefront of cutting-edge research on carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), a vital material for aerospace applications. In collaboration with ZwickRoell, the university is testing CFRP's mechanical properties under extreme conditions, specifically at cryogenic temperatures as low as -196°C. The research, supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, aims to enhance the durability and performance of lightweight aerospace components. The testing process utilizes the Z100 universal testing machine, a highly advanced technology that allows for precise measurements of material behavior at both room and cryogenic temperatures. By simulating the harsh environments that aerospace components encounter, this research is critical for the development of more reliable and efficient materials, which are crucial for future aerospace innovations. This collaboration underscores the importance of integrating advanced testing technologies in research and development to push the boundaries of aerospace engineering. Through this partnership, the University of the Bundeswehr Munich and ZwickRoell are contributing significantly to the future of aerospace technology, ensuring that materials can withstand the extreme conditions they will face in real-world. #Testing #Hydrogen #Aerospace #Kryo https://lnkd.in/eVmkHDEP
