2016 MFA Thesis Exhibition
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free Admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: April 2-May 14, 2016
2016 MFA Thesis Exhibition
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 2, 3-5 pm
Artists Talk: Thursday, AHA! Night, April 14 at 7 pm
The UMass Dartmouth 2016 MFA Thesis Exhibition is a much anticipated and celebrated annual event showcasing the artwork of graduating students from the College of Visual and Performing Arts. This large-scale exhibition at the Star Store Campus in historic Downtown New Bedford consists of a wide variety of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, digital and moving images, software application design, as well as intricately made jewelry that utilizes both text and unusual contemporary materials. The range of themes is equally diverse; explorations of personal and cultural identity, feelings of loss, intimacy, memories and dreams as well as examinations of formal and conceptual space.
The 2016 exhibition includes the creative efforts of 18 UMass Dartmouth MFA degree candidates in the visual arts: Alec H. Andersen, Amy Araujo, Calvin Arterberry, Kendra Conn, Kelly Lynn Daniels, Yinan Dong, Meaghan Gates, Marcia Goodwin, Kyungsun "Ariel" Lee, John A. Middleton, Mark Phelan, Sara Allen Prigodich, Cuong Abel Sy, Brett Sylvia, Andrew Tedesco, William M. Vanaria, Lillian E. Webster, and Will Wolf.
An opening reception will be held on Saturday, April April 2, from 3 to 5 pm and the exhibition is open to public through May 14, 2016. Artists Talk is scheduled on Thursday, AHA! Night, April 14 at 7 pm.
Selections from this exhibition will be shown this summer at the Bromfield Gallery in Boston from June 1 to June 26, with an opening reception on Friday, June 3, 6:00 - 8:30 pm.
Gallery exhibitions are open daily in New Bedford from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and until 9:00 pm during AHA! Nights (every second Thursday each month-April 14 and May 12). All events are free and open to the public.

Mechanical Engineering (MNE) Seminar by Dr. Dibakar Datta
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: Mechanical Engineering (MNE) Seminar
Tuesday, April 5th 2016
4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Textile Building, Room 101E
SPEAKER:
Dr. Dibakar Datta, Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Stanford University, CA
TOPIC:
Nanoindentation Studies of Materials: Modeling Dislocations by Atomistic Simulations and Analysis of Experimental Data
ABSTRACT:
Nanoindentation is the ubiquitous technique for measuring mechanical properties of materials. In practical applications, mainly alloys (mixture of metals) are used. A priori, the mechanical properties of these alloys are unknown. Despite many studies both theoretical and experimental, there are many issues that still demand thorough investigation e.g. motion of dislocation under the indenter, plastic instability, and phase transformation during nanoindentation. This work addresses these issues. We have implemented indentation load and displacement in Parallel Dislocation Simulator (ParaDiS) code where image stress field of dislocations in isotropic elastic half-space is computed by spectral methods. Our work models the motion of dislocations under the indenter for externally applied indentation load/displacement. Besides ParaDiS, we performed molecular statics (MS) and dynamics (MD) simulations to model the load-displacement relation during nanoindentation of Al and Al-Mg alloys. Effect of different parameters such as indentation rate, indenter radius, and percentage of Mg in Al-Mg alloys have been considered. Our results provide in-depth insight about the dislocations initiation, nucleation, and phase transformation during the nanoindentation process. Finally, we connect our findings with different models and methods for analyzing experimental nanoindentation data to determine various materials properties e.g. indentation modulus, hardness, dislocation density etc. Our work provides deeper understanding of defect mechanics and other aspects of materials during nanoindentation.
BIO:
Dr. Dibakar Datta is currently a postdoctoral research scholar in Mechanics and Computation group at Stanford University. He received his PhD from Brown University in 2015 with major in Solid Mechanics and minors in Physics and Chemistry. While at Brown, he was a visiting scholar in the Department of Materials Sciences and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania for a year. Before moving to United States, he completed his studies in India, Spain, and France. His research focuses on the modeling of energy systems, atomistic mechanics of nanomaterials, and modeling imperfections in crystalline solids.
