Congratulations to CMRL student Xiaohui Tu, who was recently awarded second place in the EMI Computational Mechanics Student Poster Competition for her poster, “Application of Wavelet-Enriched Hierarchical Finite Element Formulation in Simulating Crack Propagation in Polycrystalline Microstructure with the Coupled Crystal Plasticity-Phase Field Model”!

Sponsored by the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) Computational Mechanics Committee (CMC), the poster competition consists of three parts:

Part I: Short‐paper review – Judges review the three‐page papers submitted, before the conference.

Part II: Blitz slide presentation of the research ‐ Each participant has two minutes to introduce their research to the broader audience before the poster competition. This part is intended for student networking and visibility within the EMI community.

Part III: Poster competition – Judges go over all the posters with a 5-minute Q&A session at each poster.

Winners were named at the recent American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) – Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) Conference.

Join us in congratulating Xiaohui again on this accomplishment!

The Whiting School of Engineering and the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences held their annual Doctoral Hooding Ceremony on May 23rd, 2017.  Ahmad Shabha and Zhiye Li who completed their doctoral degree in 2018-19 were hooded by Prof. Somnath Ghosh. Zhiye Li completed her thesis titled “Micromechanical Studies of Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Matrix Composites Undergoing Deformation and Damage at High Strain Rates” and Ahmad Shahba completed his PhD dissertation titled “Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Simulation of Deformation and Fracture in Polycrystalline Microstructures“. CMRL congratulates and wishes them the best of luck!

Congratulations to Somnath Ghosh, the Michael G. Callas Chair Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, who will receive the 2019 Ted Belytschko Applied Mechanics Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)!

The Ted Belytschko Applied Mechanics Award is given to an outstanding individual for significant contributions in the practice of engineering mechanics. Ghosh will be officially recognized at ASME’s International Mechanical Engineering Conference and Exposition in Salt Lake City in mid-November 2019.
