🪔 Embrace the Spark of Dussehra: Illuminating Paths in Engineering! 🪔 As the auspicious festival of Dussehra approaches, it's a time for us in the engineering world to draw inspiration from the age-old tale of good prevailing over evil. Just as Lord Rama's unwavering determination vanquished darkness, we engineers conquer complex challenges with our innovative brilliance. Dussehra symbolizes the victory of knowledge, and we, as engineers, are at the forefront of the quest for knowledge and progress. Let this Dussehra ignite the flames of creativity and ingenuity within us. Together, we'll light up the engineering landscape with innovative solutions that defy boundaries. Our commitment to excellence remains unwavering, just as the divine's commitment to righteousness. As we celebrate the victory of good over evil, let's resolve to triumph over the obstacles in our path and create a brighter, better-engineered world. Wishing you all a Dussehra filled with success, prosperity, and the joy of engineering marvels! #Dussehra #EngineeringInnovation #BrighterFutures

The implosion of OceanGate’s submersible, Titan, on June 18 has faced scrutiny for the use of carbon fiber in its design. Engineering SOURCE at Colorado State University sat down with mechanical engineering Professor Mostafa (Ryan) Yourdkhani, who specializes in composite materials, to answer some common questions surrounding carbon fiber composites.⁠ ⁠ ❔ What are carbon fiber composites? How are they made? ⁠ ⁠ ❔ Why is using carbon fiber composite advantageous? What is it used for? ⁠ ⁠ ❔ What are the limitations of carbon fiber composites? ⁠ https://lnkd.in/gZm4iq8n CSU Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering

We published new work on the Partitioned Parametrized #Variational Procedure (used to generate theorems of structural analysis). Our research work (DOI: 10.1080/15376494.2023.2260554) appeared in the Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures Journal. Focus of the study is the Harlequin Variational Theorem of the First Family for the analysis of laminates. #SDSU #aerospaceengineering #engineering

💡Alumni Spotlight 🎓 Vanderbilt University mechanical engineering 🔬 alumna, Rachel Carter, is pioneering advancements in battery safety at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Her research focuses on developing next-generation battery chemistries that are both inherently safe and free from reliance on costly, complex international supply chains. 🌍🔧 “We need newer types of batteries to alleviate the demand on critical materials,” she says. “Using materials that are globally abundant, nontoxic, and friendly to humans and the environment is a really exciting proposition.” 🌱🔋 Read the full article from Chemical & Engineering News, here: https://lnkd.in/eB5Gs5uV

Congratulations Gurdiljot Gill for successfully defending his dissertation "Comfortable walking experience today and tomorrow: Investigating pedestrian interactions with bicycles, cars and self-driving vehicles" Key insight: ✅ Perceptions of safety and comfort in pedestrian and self-driving vehicles are veiled in an Autonomy Bias. ✅ On a average this bias is negative, although it is likely to change as technology evolves ✅ For self-driving vehicles to be perceived as 'just as safe' as human driven vehicles, self-driving vehicles need to leave more space to pedestrians, and to be precise, 3 seconds more passing time at an intersection. ✅Finally, deception based experiments are a really innovative approach to measuring our inherent biases. Phenomenal work to make our cities more walkable. Congratulations again Gurdil and the entire team: Alexander Bigazzi & Omar Swei and external examiners Amy M.

BUBBLE SIMULATION: The small gas bubbles that form and collapse in liquid can cause big problems for equipment like ship propellers. Imploding bubbles cause noise and vibration, interfering with sensors, and can even erode metal over time. UM Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering researchers developed a physics based approach to better predict these corrosive bubbles. Results can inform design of quieter ship propellers and even help develop superhydrophobic surfaces for energy-efficient designs. Read the full article below [Link]: https://bit.ly/49Jyhey

" To give a general idea of his work, Dr. Saif explains that he has been looking at how cancer cells spread within tumours, essentially figuring out why they become so dangerous. Additionally, he has been studying how the mechanical properties of neurons (the cells in our brains and nerves) can affect their behaviour and development. One of his most exciting ventures involves creating "biological machines". These are essentially machines made from living cells that open up a whole world of possibilities in fields like medicine and technology. Professor Saif believes that understanding how neurons mechanically work could have a huge impact in the long run, possibly revolutionising how we think about brain-related diseases and treatments. Currently, he is interested in understanding the effect of regular physical exercise on mental health. Life expectancy is increasing globally. In Bangladesh, it increased from 42 yrs (in 1960) to 74 yrs (in 2020). While longer life is a gift, ageing often results in diminishing mental capacity and neurological diseases, e.g., dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) (50 million patients globally). Physical exercise, a lifestyle affordable to all, is known to improve cognition, and delay AD and dementia. But "how" they work remains unknown. He wants to understand the biophysics of exercise-brain relations. "The research will lead to novel exercise-based therapies against neurological diseases, including dementia, depression, and Alzheimer's disease," he asserted. He has a few scientific hypotheses in these two areas of research and wants to complete the testing of these hypotheses. "Irrespective of whether the hypotheses are tested right or wrong, the research will shed new light on many unanswered questions in the fields," he believes. Working with tiny but fascinating things Professor Saif's research interests include studying really tiny materials, like the ones used in microelectronics - the basis of modern gadgets. He wanted to understand how these materials behave when we test them at such a small scale. So, his lab created tools to do just that. What they found most exciting was that certain metals made up of really tiny grains can actually fix themselves over time if they get bent or damaged. Imagine if a paperclip made from this kind of metal could straighten itself on its own after being bent! This discovery changed what we thought we knew about how metals behave when forces are applied upon them. It could lead to making things like car bumpers that can heal themselves after getting dented. His works already made him a star in his field; the National Academy of Engineering made it more obvious. Since there is no Nobel Prize specifically designated for Engineering, it holds a prestigious status almost like the Nobel Prize across the globe. Not many engineers get the honour." 👇 #puresciencepurifies #ershadspeak 👇 Tks.rgrds - Ishmam Ahmed
