USACM Student Chapter Seminar: Quantum Computing for CFD

Submitted by USACM_Student_… on

Merel Schalkers from TU Delft will be presenting (Friday December 15, 2023, 5 PM EST) their latest research on quantum computational fluid dynamics. We invite you to attend the USACM Student Chapter Seminar to learn more about this exciting topic.

 

Title:

Towards scalable and fail-safe quantum computational fluid dynamics using the Boltzmann equation

Abstract:

Mitigating Oblique Impacts by Unraveling of Buckled Carbon Nanotubes in Helmet Liners

Submitted by Ramathasan The… on

Abstract

 

Background: Helmet systems most commonly experience oblique blunt impacts which cause simultaneous linear and rotational accelerations. The ability to attenuate both linear and rotational accelerations by absorbing the normal shock while accommodating large shear deformations with energy dissipation is critical to developing superior helmet liners that prevent traumatic brain injury (TBI).

10-year impact report - MUSAM Research Unit

Submitted by marco.paggi on

On November 2023 the research unit MUSAM -Multi-scale Analysis of Materials-  at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca turns 10! 

To celebrate the contributions made to computational and experimental mechanics over the past 10 years, and to acknowledge the PhD students, researchers and visiting professors that have animated the research unit, I am pleased to share with you a 10-year impact report. 

I hope you might find it interesting and inspiring for future collaborations!
