Seminar: Hydrogen and Gas Turbines

In this presentation, we will take a deep look at hydrogen and its use as a gas turbine fuel, starting with its history.

Achievement of Dr. Utku M. Sönmez

Dr. Utku M. Sönmez, who graduated from ITU Mechanical Engineering Department in 2016, currently a postdoctoral fellow at University of California San Diego and Scripps Institute working with Profs. Darren Lipomi and Ardem Patapoutian who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine 2021 as a result of his significant contribution to the mechanobiology research.

Seminar: Aerospace Materials Research Using Peridynamics

This talk will have two parts: (1) Multi-scale deformation and failure analysis of carbon nanotube-based composites and (2) response of aerospace structures to high-velocity droplet impact. Both topics utilize the emerging computational mechanics approach peridynamics.
