Heterogeneous lamella structure unites ultrafine-grain strength with coarse-grain ductility, Wu, Yang, Yuan, Wu Wei, Huang, Zhu, PNAS, 2015
Novelty/impact/significance:
A novel heterogeneous lamella structure in Ti is created, which is as strong as the ultrafine-grained Ti and simultaneously as ductile as the coarse-grained Ti, with higher strain hardening than the coarse-grained Ti.
PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella in the area of mechanical metamaterials.
Current topics of interest include:
1) Topological metamaterials;
2) Fracture mechanics in cellular materials;
3) Tunable and programmable metastructures.

Hello again iMechanica! My name is Ryan and I am the Founder of Mechanical Engineering HQ. I am writing today to share an interesting development in water sanitation technology. Scientists and engineers have developed a new solar powered water purifier that can create drinking water from wastewater and seawater. Read on to find out how they have achieved this!
EML Webinar on 14 October 2020 will be given by Prof. Howard Stone, Princeton University; Manouk Abkarian and Simon Mendez, CNRS, France.
