1. Introduction
Layered nanocomposites by shear-flow-induced alignment of nanosheets, Chuangqi Zhao, Lei Jiang, Mingjie Liu, Nature, 2020
Novelty/impact/significance:
A generalizable and scalable, continuous fabrication of ultrastrong composite films (with nanosheets of graphene oxide and clay, strength 1215 MPa modulus 198.8 GPa,, and ultrastrong and ultratough composites (with nanosheets of clay, toughness 36.7 MJ/m2 strength 1195 MPa) based on a superspreading layering strategy.
Scientific question:
Willing to share the work done in my Ph.D. thesis ("An efficient numerical framework for capturing localised 3D stress fields in laminated composites). The basic code (written in FORTRAN 90) is available on GITHUB (Check the following link).
EML Webinar on July 1, 2020 will be given by Prof. Chiara Daraio at Caltech via Zoom meeting. Discussion leader: Teng Li, University of Maryland.

Dear Colleagues,
In the last twenty years, tribology and nonlinear dynamics have included several major contributions related to key topics such as rough contact, friction, damping mechanisms, and dynamical behaviour of nonlinear systems, which are paving the way for future engineering challenges. The two fields are largely intertwined as, among the others, contact nonlinearities are almost omnipresent in any technical application ranging from the development of NEMS/MEMS to bioengineering, automotive, civil/mechanical industry, and aerospace.
The USACM is happy to announce a virtual seminar this week on Thursday, June 25th at 3pm Eastern. The title of the seminar is "Data-Driven Turbulence Modeling and Simulation: From RANS to LES". An abstract of the talk is available here:
