Annu Palakunnathu Matthew: An Indian from India
Curated by Viera Levitt
Exhibition Dates: Nov 13, 2014 - Jan 25, 2015
Reception: AHA! Night, Thursday Nov 13, 6-9 pm, Artist Talk 7 pm
Photo Booth: AHA! Night, Thursday December 11, 6-8 pm
The University Art Gallery is pleased to present a solo show by Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, American artist born in England and raised in India. The exhibition will take place at UMass Dartmouth's New Bedford campus between November 13 and January 25, 2015 .
Annu Palakunnathu Matthew's work explores and challenges our perception of identity, photography and memory. She enlivens old black and white, or sepia toned photos through a surprising and skillful technique of digital manipulation that preserves the background while adding figures of herself or others. With this body of work, Ms. Matthew challenges our perceptions of time and collective memory, while also asking us to look with new eyes at the much cherished family photograph, especially those that were perhaps brought to this country by our immigrant grandparents. Additionally, by replacing static images with animations that are displayed on iPads and inserted into an old book or picture frames, Matthew adds surprise, an inverted dimension of time and contemporary interpretation into a traditional form of media.
As part of our commitment to community engagement, we will have a photo booth taking professional photographs of any three generations of woman from the same immigrant family during AHA! Night on Thursday , December 11 from 6 to 8 pm . Through these portraits, the artist wants to create work that both depict the changing face of American immigration and also chronicles the continual renewal of American diversity. The visitors can bring the whole family and get a print to take home. Learn more at tinyurl.com/immigrantphoto .

Mechanical Engineering Seminar by Dr. Ankit Srivastava
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: The Mechanical Engineering Department is pleased to announce the following SEMINAR on Wednesday, 1/14/15 from 1:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Textile Building, Room 101E.
SPEAKER is Dr. Ankit Srivastava of Brown University.
TOPIC is Correlating Ductile Fracture Surface Roughness and Fracture Toughness.
ABSTRACT is:
Two fundamental questions in the mechanics and physics of fracture are:
(i) What is the relation between observable features of a material's microstructure and its resistance to crack growth?
(ii) What is the relation between observable features of a material's microstructure and the roughness of the fracture surface?
An obvious corollary question is: What is the relation, if any, between a material's crack growth resistance and the roughness of the corresponding fracture surface? My presentation will be focused on the results of finite element calculations of mode-I ductile crack growth aimed at addressing these questions. At room temperature, ductile fracture of structural metals generally occurs by the nucleation, growth and coalescence of micron scale voids. In the calculations, an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive relation for a progressively cavitating plastic solid is used to model the material. In a variety of structural alloys, the distribution of void nucleating particles can be idealized as involving two size scales; larger inclusions that nucleate voids at relatively small strains and smaller particles that nucleate voids at much larger strains. In the calculations the larger inclusions (e. g. MnS inclusions in steels) are discretely modeled to introduce a length scale, while the smaller particles (e.g. carbides in steels) are taken to be homogeneously distributed. The crack growth resistance is quantified in terms of JIC and the tearing modulus, TR. The Hurst exponent of the correlation function of the fracture surface height distribution, a quantity typically used to characterize the fracture surface roughness, is also calculated. In addition, the fracture surface roughness is investigate using the full statistics of the fracture surface height distribution. Possible connections between quantitative measures of crack growth resistance and quantitative measures of fracture surface roughness are explored and related to the nature of the ductile crack growth process.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Ankit Srivastava is currently working as Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown University He is currently working on Micromechanics of plastic deformation and phase transformation in multiphase steel. He received his doctoral degree in Materials Science and Engineering from University of North Texas. His doctoral research addressed on Mechanics and Mechanisms of Creep and Ductile Fracture. His research interests are focused on micromechanical modeling of deformation and fracture of materials with spatial and temporal heterogeneities using tools of solid mechanics.
For more information please contact Dr. Vijay Chalivendra (vchalivendra@umassd.edu, 508-910-6572).
All are welcome. Mechanical Engineering students are encouraged to attend.
Light refreshments will be served.
