SUMMARY:CANCELLED: CBE Seminar - "Model-Based Chemical Product Design and Analysis"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nChemical products are usually designed and developed through heuristic rule-based and/or trial-and-error experiment-based approaches. Although this kind of approaches often lead to safe and reliable product designs\, since it is not practically feasible to consider all alternatives\, it may not be possible to find the optimal product. As an alternative approach\, the use of model-based design methods has been gaining increased attention as they have the potential to rapidly generate and/or screen product candidates in a much larger design space\, and therefore reduce cost for chemical product design and development. If needed data and/or models giving reliable estimations for product properties and functions are available\, model-based chemical product design methods may be applied for design and analysis of many chemical products classified as single species (such as refrigerants\, solvents\, and chemical substitutes) and multiple species (such as fuel blends\, insect repellents\, detergents and paint formulations). The seminar will highlight\, with special emphasis on predictive chemical product property modelling\, a model-based computer-aided framework plus associated methods and software tools for systematic design and analysis of a wide range of chemical products.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: "U.S. Army Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technologies"
DESCRIPTION:With the constantly changing threat environment\, the Army needs to be able to quickly adapt their tactics and equipment. But burdensome and lengthy acquisition cycles make this challenging. Additive manufacturing can potentially be utilized to overcome many of the challenges and enables on-demand manufacturing of repair parts\, as well as rapid prototyping.\nThrough topology optimization\, parts can be designed lighter and/or stronger and more cost-effective. In addition to new technologies being explored such as hybrid manufacturing in which entire metal and plastic devices can be fabricated within the same piece of equipment\, a host of novel feedstocks are being developed such as multi-material thermoplastics and filled resins that further increase the range of properties and applications of the 3D printed parts. In addition to the research performed in Army laboratories\, one of the major thrusts of current Army additive manufacturing research is the ability to manufacture at the point of need in remote environments. Research at the US Army Research Laboratory Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC-ARL) is showing that agile\, expeditionary manufacturing could be accomplished through the use of materials at or near to the location of our operating bases. These materials could include not only commercial feedstocks\, but also the organic and inorganic materials naturally occurring in the area and recycled materials from the operating bases such as polymers\, metals\, and paper materials. Distributed manufacturing could reduce the logistics tail needed to conduct wars on foreign soil\, saving valuable resources and lives\, and allowing the warfighter to perform the mission\, instead of guarding and securing convoy transports. In addition to reduced energy costs related to transportation\, the operational readiness and self-sustainability of operating bases would be increased.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: John A. Quinn Distinguished Lecture: "Molecular and Colloidal Interactions in Water"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nLife occurs in water\, and water-mediated interactions between molecules and interfaces are central to biological assembly processes.  Synthetic materials as common as shampoo rely on water-mediated interactions.  This presentation will describe experiments that highlight our lack of understanding of interactions in water. This lack of understanding presents the opportunity to formulate a refined set of design rules for self-assembly of engineered functional materials in water.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: "Modeling the Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Structures"
DESCRIPTION:I will present recent work on the modeling of the structural response of shape memory alloy tubes\, bars\, and beams. We have developed a new constitutive model that captures pseudoelastic transformation induced recoverable deformation in SMAs including the strong asymmetries in the tensile and compressive responses. Instead of introducing multiple conditions for forward phase transformation\, reverse phase transformation\, and martensite reorientation\, the model is based on a J2-type nonlinear kinematic hardening framework with a single transformation surface and the back stress represented through a weighted mix of two potential functions that are calibrated to the tensile and compressive stress-strain responses of the material. The constitutive model has been used to simulate numerically the interaction of these complex material behaviors with structural nonlinear behavior observed in experiments. Problems analyzed include the buckling and recovery of NiTi tubes under axial compression\, the propagation of a well defined deformation front in uniaxial tension\, and the reversible propagation of curvature localization in NiTi tubes under bending. The numerical simulations reproduce the structural behavior both qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrating the fidelity of the constitutive modeling framework developed. After illustrating the success of the isothermal model\, I will present some recent work on modeling non-isothermal behavior within the same constitutive framework.

SUMMARY:Cancelled: CBE Seminar - Biomaterials-Mediated Inflammation Control"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nMany chronic disabling diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis\, psoriasis\, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus are increasingly linked to inappropriate and chronic activation of inflammatory cells. A central event in the pathogenesis of these diseases appears to be an aberrant activation of innate immune sensors\, most prominently the Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs)\, by nucleic acids that are released from dead and dying cells. Moreover\, such extracellular nucleic acids have also been implicated in inflammatory diseases such as heart attack\, traumatic injury\, and stroke in activating the contact pathway of coagulation. In this presentation\, I will discuss the application of nucleic acid-binding polymers in the configuration of either soluble or immobilized polycation to scavenge these pathogenic nucleic acids as a molecular strategy to combat inflammation.

SUMMARY:Closing the Gap between Theory and Practice: Rethinking Engineering Education in Real Time
DESCRIPTION:Despite 20 years of focus on organizational change and effective educational best practices in STEM higher education\, significant research findings have had minimal influences on practice.  In 2016\, the U-M BME Department sought to disrupt engineering education. Informed by organizational change theory\, we asked: 1) Is there potential for change; 2) what strategies facilitate change; and 3) how can these strategies be implemented? As a result\, we developed an Instructional Design Sequence\, a new approach to instruction in which students\, post docs\, and faculty create short Modules that use evidence-based teaching practices to expose BME students to BME professional practice.  This talk describes how the Sequence was conceived of and demonstrates how organizational theory\, entrepreneurship\, and design can be used to inform education practice. The resultant Sequence has the potential to be a transferrable model for transforming engineering education\, offering a new mechanism for integrating career relevant curriculum into undergraduate curriculum in real-time\, while training future educators in instructional evidence based practices. \n  \nThis lecture is offered as part of the Lecturers’ Seminar on Teaching and Learning.
