报告人：Professor David Hui

时 间：10月11日（周一）下午2:30
地 点：力学楼434会议室
主持人：方岱宁（教授）

报告内容摘要：
      why nano engineering is a new field, what is nanotechnology? How the length scale play a critical role in hybrid materials. The talk focus on the transition from metal to composite to nanomaterials. The emphasis is on nanomechanics and how nanomaterials can be put to useful engineering applications. The talk will include three reasons for using nano, and will include nano-engineering in damage mechanics and impact dynamics. The critical component of design is safety of materials usage

报告人简介：
      Dr. David Hui is Professor of Mechanical Engineering and director of Composites Materials Research Laboratory at University of New Orleans. He received his Ph.D. from University of Toronto in Aerospace Engineering. Dr. Hui has edited over 35 widely cited books, as evidence in the Google Search showing over 14000 citations. Other books includes, editor of Army Research Office workshop "Dynamics of Structures" proceedings, ICCE/1-17, SES, ASME books and numerous special issues of journals, and served as numerous keynote lecturers. He has served as founder and editor-in-chief of one of the most prestigious journals in composite materials, Composites B Engineering journal. This journal has consistently ranked second or third among all composite materials journals in terms of impact factors. Curently, he serves on the editorial board of 28 international journals, seven of them are nano journals, and the rest are mostly composite materials journals. Dr. Hui is currently ASME Fellow, ICCE Life Member, AIAA Associate Fellow and CASI Associate Fellow. Dr. Hui was awarded The Ohio State University Research Award, ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Certificate of recognition, ASME Ralph James Award (ASME Petroleum Division), NASA Certificates of Recognition, ASME ETCE Service Awards, the University of New Orleans Alumni (lifetime) Career Research Achievement Award and the University of New Orleans, University Research Professor. Dr. Hui is the chairman of ICCE, which has grown to be the world's pre-eminent annual "technical" composite materials or nano-materials conference.
