Brigita Abakevičienė: Surface Modification of Additively Manufactured Titanium and Ceramic Materials

Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the production of complex titanium and ceramic components; however, the inherent surface roughness, porosity, and microstructural defects often limit their performance. Surface modification techniques play a crucial role in enhancing mechanical strength, wear resistance, corrosion behaviour, and biological response. This seminar provides an overview of the physical and chemical characterization … Lire plus

Alexandre Mussi: Latest developments in electron tomography of dislocations: from 3D to 4D, 3D to mechanics, and TEM to SEM

Abstract Rigorous analyses of dislocation microstructures are necessary to conduct fundamental studies of plastic deformation mechanisms. These characterizations make it possible to determine the Burgers vectors and habitat planes (climb and/or slip) of dislocations, which are essential data for providing crystal plasticity models. For simple microstructures where a few slip-systems are active, characterizations using weak-beam … Lire plus

Thierry Auger : Fragilisation par métal liquide : des critères énergétiques aux facteurs d’intensité des contraintes d’amorçage de fissures

Résumé La fragilisation par métal liquide (FML) d’un matériau par ailleurs ductile est un phénomène de transition de mode de rupture induite par l’environnement. Il est caractérisé par une vitesse de propagation potentiellement élevée des fissures fragiles et des effets néfastes sur les propriétés mécaniques. La FML englobe également la dégradation induite par le phénomène de … Lire plus

Sami El-Borgi: Vibration Attenuation Using Locally Resonant Multiple Bandgap Formation

Organized as part of the Mat-Pulse interdisciplinary program. Abstract This seminar presents first a strategy of vibration attenuation of a beam when multiple resonant frequencies of the structure are excited. The mechanism of multiple bandgap formation is presented by first deriving the equations of motion of the meta-structure based on Hamilton’s principle and then utilizing … Lire plus

Satish V. Kailas: Tribology – A synergistic process that is tribo-system controlled

Abstract Tribology is a highly interdisciplinary field. It requires an understanding in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, etc. Tribological interaction starts at surface of two bodies in relative motion (do note that one of the bodies can be a fluid). And this interaction leads to wear. In this talk I will try to simplify … Lire plus

Brayan Murgas: Implementing an energy based dislocation transmission criteria for dislocation-grain boundary interaction using a dislocation transport based crystal plasticity model

Abstract The interaction between grain boundaries (GBs) and dislocations is a key problem in materials science and mechanics. Pile up of dislocations around GBs gives raise to the Hall-Petch effect; a microstructure with small grains has more GBs that act as barriers causing dislocation pile-up resulting in a higher yield strength compared to a microstructure … Lire plus

Mahmoud Shaqfa: From Morphology to High-Fidelity Simulations: Spectrally Accurate Modeling of Microstructures

Abstract Recent advances in scanning technologies and digital twinning have enabled the high-fidelity capture of geometric details in composite microstructures. In this talk, I will present state-of-the-art spectral methods for analyzing the morphology of complex 2D and 3D microstructures. I will highlight how these techniques are used to generate statistically similar surfaces and introduce my … Lire plus
