Enabling High-Throughput Studies of Reactive Materials

Christopher Lange (Department of Mechanical Engineering, HSU) The project aims at establishing an optimized simulation framework for the atomistic modeling of impact-induced chemical reactions in new weapon materials. In our mechano-chemical research we combine atomic and molecular dynamics simulations. Strain-dependent reaction paths are determined with static ab initio simulations and coupled…

benEFIT- Numerical simulation of non-destructive testing in concrete

Fabian Dethof (Professorship Engineering Materials and Building Preservation, HSU) In order to assess the current state of concrete structures like a buildings or bridges without causing any damage, different non-destructive testing (NDT) methods can be performed. Some of those methods are based on elastic wave propagation like the ultrasonic testing (UT)…
