西安交通大学毕业典礼，2015.6.27

 

尊敬的张迈曾书记，尊敬的王树国校长，

各位嘉宾，各位老师，各位同学，各位家长，

 

大家上午好！

 

感谢学校让我作为校友在毕业典礼上致辞。年轻的同学们，我想和你们谈一个大家都关心的话题：机会。

 

三十年前，也就是一九八五年，我从西安交通大学本科毕业。毕业典礼上，汪应洛副校长讲话。主题是技术革命与中国振兴。当时技术革命的热点是光纤维。当时普遍认为中国比发达国家落后几十年，赶超世界是一个遥远的梦想。汪应洛教授指出，中国不需要走西方的老路，不需要先普及电话，再建设互联网。在光纤维的时代，中国与世界站在同一个起跑线上。光纤维是中国振兴的一个机会。

 

Multistable Architected Materials for Trapping Elastic Strain Energy

3D printing

3D printing and numerical analysis are combined to design a new class of architected materials that contain bistable beam elements and exhibit controlled trapping of elastic energy. The proposed energy-absorbing structures are reusable. Moreover, the mechanism of energy absorption stems solely from the structural geometry of the printed beam elements, and is therefore both materials- and loading-rate independent.
