Make and Break Symmetry: New Semiconductor Devices Exploiting the Latest Developments in Condensed Matter Physics

  • October 22, 2013
  • Comments off

Debdeep Jena Department of Electrical Engineering University of Notre Dame Semiconductor devices are undergoing a quiet revolution, many years in the making. Extreme bandgap materials such as AlN, BN, and GaN add rich new physics such as Berry-phase induced electronic polarization, new methods of doping and conductivity control, modification of electron-phonon interactions by neutrons in isotopes

Paper Submitted: Damage Identification Using Linear Approximation with Maximum-Entropy and Transmissibility Data

  • September 19, 2013
  • Comments off

V. Meruane, A. Ortiz-Bernardin, “Damage identification using linear approximation with maximum-entropy and transmissibility data,” submitted. ABSTRACT Supervised learning algorithms have been proposed as a suitable alternative to model updating methods in damage assessment, being Artificial Neural Networks the most frequently used. Notwithstanding, the slow learning speed and the large number of parameters that need to

Study of Some New Constitutive Laws for Elastic Bodies

  • September 19, 2013
  • Comments off

2012 – 2015 Principal Investigator: Roger Bustamante. Co-Investigator: Alejandro Ortiz-Bernardin. Project funded by CONICYT-FONDECYT (Grant Nº 1120011) In the classical theory of continuum mechanics there are two concepts which are considered particularly important, namely stresses and strains. Even though, from an intuitive point of view, we would say that strains are ‘caused’ due to the presence

Development and Assessment of An Efficient Numerical Method for Simulation of Nearly Incompressible Large Deformations Problems in Solid Mechanics

  • September 18, 2013
  • Comments off

Principal Investigator: Alejandro Ortiz-Bernardin. In the era of simulation-based design, robust simulation tools are needed to efficiently analyze and accurately predict the performance of solids and structures for loadings and materials with large deformation response. Applications such as metal forming processes, kinematic response of soft biological tissues, earth moving and deep penetration in geotechnical/offshore engineering, and
