SUMMARY: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:CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Exploring the Molecular Origins of Icephilicity Using Specialized Molecular Simulations
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nExercising control over the formation of ice and similar crystalline structures is important in a variety of contexts\, from preserving organs for transplant to preventing clathrate hydrate plugs in natural gas pipelines. To achieve this control\, it is crucial to understand nucleation phenomena at the molecular level. Studies have shown that heterogeneous nucleation proceeds orders of magnitude faster than homogeneous nucleation. Hence an understanding of ice nucleation phenomena in most real-world contexts hinges upon identifying the molecular-scale features of surfaces that inhibit (or even promote) heterogeneous ice nucleation. Yet the combination of molecular-scale characteristics that determines the ice nucleation propensity of a given material remain poorly understood.\n\nWe approach this challenge from a thermodynamic perspective\, with the goal of understanding \emph{icephilicity}: the preference of a heterogeneous solid surface (or macromolecule) for ice over liquid water. Recent work has shown that there is a complex interplay between a surface’s morphology and its icephilicity: small variations in properties (such as surface flexibility and lattice mismatch) can significantly impact a material’s ability to interact favorably with ice. We have developed novel approaches for characterizing surface icephilicity\, and applied them to study a wide range of materials using molecular simulations and enhanced sampling techniques. Our results shed new light on the molecular-scale features that govern a material’s propensity to nucleate (or inhibit) ice and related crystalline structures.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Integrating Machine Learning and Multiscale Modeling in Biomedicine"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nMachine learning and multiscale modeling complement each other in a unique way\, enabling us to seamlessly integrate big data and biophysical pathways and interpret the results while formulating truly predictive and generalizable models\, based on both data and physics. In multiscale modeling\, I have developed adaptive methods and kinetic models to simulate intracellular polymerization of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) and subsequent interaction with the membrane of a red blood cell (RBC) in sickle cell anemia\, which occurs at multispatial scales\, ranging from nanometers to micrometers. Machine learning\, especially deep learning\, usually requires a large amount of data of high accuracy\, which is often difficult to obtain in biological and biomedical sciences. I have developed multi-fidelity neural networks\, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs)\, and deep operator network (DeepONets)\, so that we can learn deep learning models accurately and robustly from even “small” datasets. I will present several examples and discuss further the interaction of both that will lead to a paradigm shift in modeling biomedical systems in the future.

SUMMARY:BE/MEAM Seminar: "Microbes in Biomechanics" (Christopher J. Hernandez)
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held virtually on Zoom – check email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. \nThe idea that mechanical stresses influence the growth and form of organs and organisms originated in the 1800s and is the basis for the modern study of biomechanics and mechanobiology. Biomechanics and mechanobiology are well studied in eukaryotic systems\, yet eukaryotes represent only a small portion of the diversity and abundance of life on Earth. Bacteria exhibit broad influences on human health (as both pathogens and as beneficial components of the gut microbiome) and processes used in biotechnology and synthetic biology. Over the past eight years my group has explored mechanobiology within individual bacteria and the effects of changes in the composition of commensal bacterial communities on the biomechanics in the musculoskeletal system. \nThe ability of the bacteria to not only resist mechanical loads (biomechanics) but also to respond to changes in the mechanical environment (mechanobiology) is necessary for survival. Here I describe a novel microfluidic platform used to explore the biomechanics and mechanobiology of individual\, live bacteria. I discuss work from my group demonstrating that mechanical stress within the bacterial cell envelope can influence the assembly and function of multicomponent efflux pumps used by bacteria to resist toxins and antibiotics. Additionally\, I share some of our more recent work showing that mechanical stress and strain within the bacterial cell envelope can stimulate a bacterial two-component system controlling gene expression. Our findings demonstrate that bacteria\, like mammalian cells\, have mechanosensitive systems that are key to survival. \nIn musculoskeletal disease\, bacteria are commonly viewed as sources of infection. However\, in the past decade the studies by my group and others have suggested that commensal bacteria – the microbiome – can modulate the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal disorders. My group is among the first to study the effects of the gut microbiome on orthopaedic disorders. Here I provide an introduction to the microbiome and current concepts of how modifications to the gut microbiome could influence the musculoskeletal system. Specifically\, I discuss studies from my group which are the first to demonstrate that the gut microbiome influences bone biomechanics and the development of infection of orthopaedic implants.

SUMMARY:GRASP On Robotics: "Designing Human Interaction with Agents and Robots"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Over the last decade\, the idea that robots and agents might participate meaningfully in complex group and organizational contexts has developed from a promising vision into a reality. Robots now assist humans in simple tasks such as delivery through complex\, high-stakes tasks such as disaster response and surgery. In this talk\, I will introduce the discipline of design and describe\, with examples from our work\, how it is a critical research practice in designing complex agent and robot systems that fit in a number of social and organizational contexts and support all aspects of interaction. \nClick here to join the Zoom Webinar
