讲座内容摘要
Historical observations suggest that humans are increasingly living in a manufactured world. Expectations on the materials for future manufactured products include new functionalities, intelligence and sustainability in addition to the usual performance, availability, and cost criteria.
Intelligent material interacts reversibly with its environment, or responds or adapts to changes in the environment. Two types of intelligent materials are envisaged: a) assisted intelligent materials rely on externalities and b) built-in intelligent materials are fully self-sufficient.
Sustainable material fosters a healthy living ecology via the elimination or reduction of associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, wastage, and resources depletion. They are purposely designed or selected with lower ecological footprint and human health effects, and higher circularity and regenerative potential.
In recent years, electrospinning emerged as a nanotechnology method of manufacturing science and engineering. This seminar illustrates this technology with strategies for producing sustainable and intelligent materials | products.
力学中心简介
The International Center for Applied Mechanics (ICAM), led by Mechanics in Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), is a platform for international exchanges and collaborations in applied mechanics. HIT-ICAM aims to conduct high-level studies on Composite Structures and Mechanics, Smart Materials and Structures, Multifunctional Composite Materials and Multi-field Coupling Mechanics, and Dynamics and Vibration Control. HIT- ICAM strives to become a leading organization in fundamental researches of mechanics, gather world-class talents in mechanics, and flourish the internationalization of applied mechanics.
Relied on the Center of Composite Materials and Structures, the Department of Aerospace Science and Mechanics, and the Institute of Aircraft Dynamics and Control in HIT, ICAM shares the research and teaching platforms and resources with the National Engineering Mechanics Teaching Base and the National Experimental Mechanics Teaching Demonstration Center.
Currently, HIT-ICAM has several open positions for teachers, post-doctoral researchers, PhDs, and other researchers. We sincerely welcome outstanding scholars from leading universities and research institutes to join us and pursue excellence together.
