This summer, Civil Engineering professor Somnath Ghosh delivered a Semi-Plenary lecture on Computational Mechanics in Advancing the Integrated Computational Materials Science & Engineering (ICMSE) Initiative for Metals and Alloys at the 13th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM13) held in San Diego on July 26-30, 2015.
His speech focused presented an integration of methods in Computational Mechanics and Computational Materials Science that addresses the deformation and failure characteristics of polycrystalline metals in various applications. Specifically he spoke on physics based modeling at different scales and multi-scale spatial (scale-bridging) and temporal modeling methods for Titanium, Magnesium and Aluminum alloys and Nickel base-superalloys.
We congratulate him on a successful lecture and wish him well as he prepares to deliver another semi-plenary lecture at the 12th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XII) and 6th Asia-Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (APCOM VI), to be held in Seoul Korea on 24-29th July 2016.
