SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium - Catalin Picu
DESCRIPTION:Catalin Picu\, Dept. of Mechanical\, Aerospace & Nuclear Engineering\, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute \nSoft Network Materials: Structure-Properties Relations \nMany materials have a stochastic network of filaments as their main structural component and are referred to collectively as ‘network materials.’ This class includes all biological connective tissue\, the extracellular matrix\, the intra-cellular cytoskeleton\, paper and cellulose-based products\, nonwovens\, as well as various molecular networks such as rubber\, gels and thermosets. \nThis talk reviews the relation between the structure of athermal networks and the material-scale mechanical properties\, focusing on identifying commonalities between these very diverse material systems. Properties of interest include the non-linear elastic response\, the viscoelastic response\, strength and toughness. The effect of inter-fiber adhesion on network mechanics will be also discussed. The talk provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanics of this broad class of materials. \nThe event flyer is available here.
