Senior Photos with Department Head, Dr. Srinath Ekkad
Here are a few updates on Graduation for Spring 2021: The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering will be hosting a VIRTUAL graduation ceremony on May 14th at 10:30AM. We will be in touch with more details closer to that date. We are currently offering in-person graduation photos with our Department Head, Dr. Ekkad. If you would like to participate, please wear either your cap and gown (optional— if purchasing) or business casual clothing. If you would like to purchase a cap and gown, they are currently available at the…

Abstract: Brain Injury may occur when brain is exposed to traumatic forces such as blast and concussion that set the matters inside the brain into rapid acceleration and deceleration. The internal structures of brain tissue are highly heterogeneous and hierarchical in nature, and are built on over 150 billion fibrous neuron and glial cells. As such, when the skull is set into motion, the corresponding material motions inside the brain locally vary and may induce normal and shear deformations in…

Abstract: High performance electromagnetic (EM) absorbing materials are highly desired for aerospace and defense applications such as aircraft engine nozzles and their aerodynamically heated parts. Typical EM absorbing materials consist of high concentrations of iron powders in polymer matrix, however, are heavy and costly. Carbon materials, e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon black, and graphite flakes, can only be used in air for limited temperature applications (<400oC). For higher temperature and oxidizing environments, such as the airplane nozzle areas, wing tips,…
