Joint Mechanical Engineering & Engineering Applied Sciences Seminar by Dr. Ting Tan
When: Friday,
September 29, 2017
1:00 PM
-
2:00 PM
Where: Textiles Building 101E
Description: Joint Mechanical Engineering (MNE) and
Engineering and Applied Sciences (EAS) Seminar
DATE:
September 29, 2017
TIME:
1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
LOCATION:
Textile Building, Room 101E
SPEAKER:
Dr. Ting Tan, Assistant Professor
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Vermont
TOPIC:
Sustainability in Beauty: An Extension of Civil Infrastructure Materials
ABSTRACT:
Adhesion is a critical property of asphalt and cementitious materials in civil engineering. Particle probe scanning force microscopes are created to study the aggregate-binder adhesion in asphalt pavements and steel-cement adhesion in concrete. Then, the Achilles heel of nacre and the functionally graded bamboo structures are studied to further understand these renowned prototypes for bio-inspiration. Finally, the restoration of a 15th century marble statue in New York Metropolitan Museum of Art is introduced to illustrate the role of science in the conservation of art structures.
BIO:
Dr. Ting Tan is an assistant professor at the University of Vermont. He was a post-doctoral research associate in the U.S. Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory between 2011 and 2012. He obtained his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University in 2011, and his MS and BS in Civil Engineering and Mechanics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2006 and 2003, respectively.
