A&A Monday Seminar with ME's John Palmore

Droplets and High-Pressure Engine Combustion ME Assistant Professor John Palmore leads the UW participation of a collaborative NASA center working to better understand aerospace propulsion. Aerospace engine manufacturers want to know if higher operating pressures could lead to improved efficiency. However, the processes of liquid fuel injection and combustion under high pressure are not well understood. The NASA SPARC (SpaceIgnite Center for Advanced Research-Education in Combustion) center is a collaboration between the UW, Clemson University and Cal State Fullerton. In 2025, the UW received a five-year grant of more than $400,000 as part of the center. Bio Assistant Professor John Palmore Jr. leads the Combustion, Atomization, Multiphase and Particulate Physics Research and Education (CAMP-PhyRE) group. His group studies multiphase flows, the fluid flows involving bubbles, droplets and particles that show up across a wide range of energy and environmental problems. To understand these flows, the team… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Guggenheim Hall (GUG). Online Meeting Link: https://washington.zoom.us/j/93258516397. Campus room: 218.

Matthew Holmes' Ph.D. General Exam

Matthew Holmes' General Exam, Bridging the Fidelity-Efficiency Gap in Composite Failure Simulation, Committee Marco Salviato (Chair), Avin Vijay, Charlie Dorn, Mehran Mesbahi Abstract Accurate prediction of fracture in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites remains a central challenge in the design and certification of large-scale aerospace and energy structures. Composite failure emerges from mesoscale damage mechanisms—matrix cracking, fiber-matrix debonding, and fiber breakage—that collectively form a fracture process zone governing crack initiation and growth. Resolving this behavior with high fidelity requires either explicit discrete representations of the composite mesostructure or continuum constitutive models capable of capturing quasibrittle fracture; the former is prohibitively expensive for structural-scale analysis, while the latter often lacks sufficient physical resolution. This report addresses both sides of this fidelity-efficiency gap. Completed work extended the spectral stiffness… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Guggenheim Hall (GUG).

A&A Seminar with Yasuhiro Miyazawa on Metamaterials

Controlling Extreme Mechanical Energy through Nonlinear Mechanical Metamaterials, Abstract: From vehicle collisions that must be absorbed safely to ambient vibrations that could be converted into useful energy, mechanical structures are often exposed to opposite energy-management tasks: spreading a sudden impulse to prevent localized damage or concentrating initially distributed energy at a desired location. Recent development of mechanical metamaterials has offered a route to both events through structural geometry and nonlinear dynamics. To mitigate high-intensity impacts, we introduce a Resch-patterned origami metamaterial in which dynamic bifurcation enables autonomous selection of distinct deformation pathways according to impact intensity. The transition from compliant folding to unfolding and snap-through tailors the structural deformation and energy absorption mechanism. Conversely, we demonstrate the experimental formation of mechanical rogue waves in a precisely engineered one-dimensional… Event interval: Single day event.

Community Learning Webinar: Nathan Curtis / A&A Monday Seminar

The Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium invites you to attend our Community Learning Webinar featuring Nathan Curtis, Natural Environments and Vehicle Management Post‑Flight Data Analysis Lead at Marshall Spaceflight Center. Launching Dreams: A First-Gen Student’s Journey to NASA About the speaker: Nathan Curtis from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center will highlight his journey from being a first‑generation college student at Indiana University to working on the Space Launch System (SLS) and the Artemis program. This presentation will explore both the challenges and successes encountered along the way and will provide an overview of Curtis’ work on SLS as the Natural Environments and Vehicle Management Post‑Flight Data Analysis lead. We look forward to having you join us for this event. Please contact nasa@uw.edu if you have questions about this event. Event interval: Single day event.
