Talk: Museum of Science

Break it ’til You Make It: Engineering Shapes and Patterns Gordon Current Science & Technology Center Stage, Blue Wing, Level 1 Saturday, August 26; 12:30 pm Abstract: Not long ago, a structure losing stability led to failure and disaster. Instability makes rigid materials useless, so it was something that engineers had to design around. Soft […]

MOSS@Adhesion Society

The MOSS lab presented research by Anupam Pandey, done in collaboration with Suzie Protière, at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Adhesion Society in Savannah, GA. The talk was entitled “Elastocapillary Rise Between Swellable Beams”, and was presented in the “Soft III: Mechanics” track (More details)

MOSS@Purdue

Seminar: Center for Materials Processing and Tribology: Morphing of Slender Structures by Swelling – Prof. Douglas P. Holmes February 4th, 2015 Abstract: Swelling-induced deformations of slender structures occur in many biological and industrial environments, and the shapes and patterns that emerge can vary across many length scales. The dynamics of fluid movement within elastic networks, […]

Applied Mechanics Colloquia: Morphing of Slender Structures by Swelling – Prof. Douglas P. Holmes Abstract: Swelling-induced deformations of slender structures occur in many biological and industrial environments, and the shapes and patterns that emerge can vary across many length scales. The dynamics of fluid movement within elastic networks, and the interplay between a structure’s geometry […]
