Engineering Composite Materials

Towards systems materials engineering.

Materials science has evolved over the past decades so that there is now an increasing need for efforts from the various subfields of materials science and engineering to come together to solve grand challenges. Such issues were discussed at a symposium on energy at the Collège de France1 that involved both the socio-economical stakes as well as the technological challenges. Indeed, nowhere has...

Engineering Living Functional Materials

Natural materials, such as bone, integrate living cells composed of organic molecules together with inorganic components. This enables combinations of functionalities, such as mechanical strength and the ability to regenerate and remodel, which are not present in existing synthetic materials. Taking a cue from nature, we propose that engineered 'living functional materials' and 'living material...

Web-based Course Materials for Engineering Statics

Computer-based learning materials eventually forming an entire online course in Statics are presented. The course, developed as part of the Carnegie Mellon Open Learning Initiative (OLI) and available to individual learners and institutions, draws upon the authors’ ongoing work to reorganize Statics instruction to better address the conceptual challenges students face. Comprising approximately ...

Similarity Measuring Approuch for Engineering Materials Selection

Advanced engineering materials design involves the exploration of massive multidimensional feature spaces, the correlation of materials properties and the processing parameters derived from disparate sources. The search for alternative materials or processing property strategies, whether through analytical, experimental or simulation approaches, has been a slow and arduous task, punctuated by i...
