6:00 PM - 1/29 »	Black Spaces Matter: Exploring the Aesthetics and Architectonics of an Abolitionist Neighborhood Location: Boston, MA Cost: NA Contact: Art History Department Description: NOVEMBER 19 - JANUARY 29 MCCORMICK GALLERY BOSTON ARCHITECTURAL COLLEGE 320 NEWBURY STREET BOSTON, MA 02115 This exhibit showcases the abolitionist neighborhood near the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. This neighborhood, which was the home of many African-Americans, white and black abolitionists, and former slaves, provides a lens through which we may study interracial aspects of American cities. Massachusetts abolished slavery in 1783, more than 80 years before the Thirteenth Amendment; however, federal law supporting slave owners superseded this law and there were cases of slaves being "reclaimed" from Massachusetts in the years that followed. A strong network of abolitionists, both black and white, gave New Bedford its claim to fame that no slave was ever forcibly "reclaimed" from it. New Bedford's architecture reflects a period of relative racial equality and tolerance in "the city that lit the world" during its whaling boom. This neighborhood includes a mixture of Gothic Revival, Federal, Greek Revival, and early Italianate homes, as well as modest cottages. Important historical figures, such as Fredrick Douglass and Lewis Temple, resided in these homes. In recent years we have seen a growing body of literature on race and architecture; however, this scholarship has focused mostly on the negative side of such built environments; lacking is an in-depth exploration of the form and function of interracial neighborhoods. This exhibit celebrates the aesthetics and architectonics of a neighborhood where many former slaves lived side-by-side with the rest of the population and engaged multiple aspects of the city's interracial architecture. Through this exhibit, local New Bedford experts along with students and faculty from UMass Dartmouth and the BAC will reveal a lesser-known progressive interracial neighborhood in the United States. Please join us on Friday, December 1, from 5:30-7:30 pm, for a special panel discussion and reception.

10:30 AM - 12:30 PM	Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Md Fazlay Rabbi Location: Textiles Building 101E Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department Description: Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Md Fazlay Rabbi Tuesday, November 21, 2017 10:30 a.m. 12:30 p.m. Textile Building, Room 101E TOPIC: High Strain Rate Response of Novel Auxetic Kevlar/Epoxy Composites and Modeling of Viscoelastic Materials Under Impact Loads ABSTRACT: The present study consists of two parts: (a) finding the high strain rate response of novel auxetic Kevlar/epoxy laminated composites and (b) developing a physics based model for viscoelastic materials under impact loading conditions. A comprehensive experimental investigation was performed to study dynamic compressive constitutive response of novel auxetic Kevlar/epoxy laminated composites. Strain rate response was investigated at three different strain rates using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test setup. Laminated composites were fabricated using vacuum infusion process. Short Nylon fibers were flocked between the laminates with different flock density and flock length. For obtaining dynamic force equilibrium in SHPB experiments, a copper pulse shaper was used to increase the rising time of incident pulse. To have comparison, woven Kevlar/epoxy composites were also characterized at same strain rates. In addition, quasi-static tests were also performed on both woven and auxetic laminated composites for completeness of the study. Woven Kevlar/epoxy composites have higher yield strength and lower percentage of elongation as compared to auxetic Kevlar/epoxy composites at similar strain rates. The failure strength of the auxetic Kevlar composites were increased almost 155% with an increase in strain rate from 1300 to 3300s-1. Furthermore, the Auxetic Kevlar composites showed a significant improvement in failure strength up to 50% compared to woven Kevlar composites at lower strain rate region. A linear physics based model is developed to investigate the one dimensional impact on a viscoelastic material. Generalized model with three Maxwell elements were considered to describe the viscoelastic material. An analytical method based on Laplace transformation was used to solve the impact problem. To have a comprehensive understanding, drop weight impact was also considered in this study. Reduction of the impact force as well as greater energy absorption can be achieved with the increase of the loss tangent of viscoelastic material. Moreover, high stiff material absorbs more impact energy and experiences high impact force as compared to low stiff material. ADVISOR: Dr. Vijaya B.

9:00 AM - 11:00 AM	Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Defense by: Yang Liu Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A Cost: free Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department Description: Topic: Source Enumeration, Localization and Spectral Estimation Using Co-Prime and Other Sparse Sensor Arrays Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG) Room 213A Abstract: Sparse arrays often refer to a class of non-uniformly spaced line arrays, where the inter-element spacings are integer multiples of the half spatial wavelength of the impinging signals. Popular sparse arrays such as minimum redundancy arrays, coprime arrays and nested arrays have broad applications in radio astronomy, radar, sonar, and wireless communication systems, including source enumeration, detection, direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and spatial power spectral density (PSD) estimation. Through array augmentation, a sparse array with O(N) elements is capable of localizing O(N2) sources by exploiting the second-order statistics of the propagating field. When used for beamforming, sparse arrays potentially achieve the resolution of a fully populated uniform linear array of comparable aperture using many fewer sensors at the expense of much higher sidelobes. To achieve these performances, sparse array processing techniques often require large numbers of snapshots to ensure more accurate estimates of the signal spatial correlations or the spatial PSDs. The large numbers of snapshots required may be available in electromagnetic scenarios, but are often unrealistically optimistic for many acoustic environments, largely due to the speed of field propagation, use of large array aperture and the field being non-stationary. This dissertation explores several research directions and proposes new algorithms improving the source enumeration, detection and estimation performances for passive sparse sensor array systems. This dissertation makes three major contributions. The first focuses on the coprime sensor arrays (CSA) and proposes a new processor, termed the min processor, as an alternative to the more popular product processor. Compared with the product processor, the min processor has many attractive features such as lower sidelobes and positive semi-definite spectra while maintaining the same array resolution. These features improve a CSA's capability in Gaussian source detection and spatial PSD estimation. Secondly, the CSA product and min processors are extended for correlation processing both temporally narrowband and wideband sources by exploiting the Fourier relationship between the PSD and the correlation function. The statistical properties of the PSD estimates using the min processor propagate to the correlation estimates and benefit high-resolution DOA estimation. Finally, this dissertation proposes new coherent wideband subspace processing algorithms for enumerating and estimating the DOAs of more sources than sensors using any sparse arrays. The new algorithms extend the concepts of periodogram averaging and spatial resampling originally proposed for ULA applications to sparse array applications. By reinforcing the sources' spectral information through frequency averaging, the proposed algorithms achieve great performance in wideband source enumeration and DOA estimation, especially in low SNR and snapshot limited scenarios.

« 11/19 - 1/29 »	Black Spaces Matter: Exploring the Aesthetics and Architectonics of an Abolitionist Neighborhood Location: Boston, MA Cost: NA Contact: Art History Department Description: NOVEMBER 19 - JANUARY 29 MCCORMICK GALLERY BOSTON ARCHITECTURAL COLLEGE 320 NEWBURY STREET BOSTON, MA 02115 This exhibit showcases the abolitionist neighborhood near the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. This neighborhood, which was the home of many African-Americans, white and black abolitionists, and former slaves, provides a lens through which we may study interracial aspects of American cities. Massachusetts abolished slavery in 1783, more than 80 years before the Thirteenth Amendment; however, federal law supporting slave owners superseded this law and there were cases of slaves being "reclaimed" from Massachusetts in the years that followed. A strong network of abolitionists, both black and white, gave New Bedford its claim to fame that no slave was ever forcibly "reclaimed" from it. New Bedford's architecture reflects a period of relative racial equality and tolerance in "the city that lit the world" during its whaling boom. This neighborhood includes a mixture of Gothic Revival, Federal, Greek Revival, and early Italianate homes, as well as modest cottages. Important historical figures, such as Fredrick Douglass and Lewis Temple, resided in these homes. In recent years we have seen a growing body of literature on race and architecture; however, this scholarship has focused mostly on the negative side of such built environments; lacking is an in-depth exploration of the form and function of interracial neighborhoods. This exhibit celebrates the aesthetics and architectonics of a neighborhood where many former slaves lived side-by-side with the rest of the population and engaged multiple aspects of the city's interracial architecture. Through this exhibit, local New Bedford experts along with students and faculty from UMass Dartmouth and the BAC will reveal a lesser-known progressive interracial neighborhood in the United States. Please join us on Friday, December 1, from 5:30-7:30 pm, for a special panel discussion and reception. Black Spaces Matter is supported by a Creative Economy Fund from the Ofice of the UMass President, Perkins + Will Associates, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Boston Architectural College (BAC), New Bedford Historical Society, Rotch Jones Duff House and Garden Museum, and Spinner Publications.
