Franklin Institute Symposium honoring Dr. John A. Rogers
Recipient of the 2019 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Materials Engineering
The 2019 Franklin Institute Laureate Symposium will be held at Temple University to honor Dr. John A. Rogers who received the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Materials Engineering for pioneering the engineering of flexible and stretchable electronic systems for e-health and exploratory neuroscience.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics at Drexel University is organizing an International Symposium on Additive Manufacturing on Friday, April 12, 2019.
The subject of the meeting is Multi-Dimensional 3-4-D Printing of Metallic Materials
Published in Physcal Review Letters: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.045502. Many materials are anisotropic. However, there is no widely accepted measure for characterizing the degree of elastic anisotropy. Here, assuming that the limiting case of extreme anisotropy should possess a positive semidefinite stiffness matrix, we propose three criteria to evaluate measures of anisotropy and show that the existing measures in the literature do not satisfy all of the proposed criteria.
Periodic systems have attracted a lot of attention in science and engineering due to the existence of band gaps in their frequency spectra. Here, we study the flexural wave propagation in beams that are periodically connected in parallel and investigate how the contrast in the material and cross-sectional properties may affect the band structure of these systems and their dispersion properties.
Join us for this interactive web workshop where we will demonstrate 3D image processing and analysis using Simpleware software. We walk also you through the workflow of building high-quality models for the inspection and non-destructive evaluation of manufactured parts.
