报告人简介:

Pedro Miguel Reis 目前是瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院 (EPFL) 的机械工程教授,同时也是机械工程研究所的所长。Reis 教授于1999年在英国曼彻斯特大学获得物理学理学学士学位,于2000年在剑桥大学获得了数学学科高级研究证书,并于2004年在曼彻斯特大学获得物理学博士学位。他先后在纽约城大 (2004-2005) 和巴黎 CNRS/ESPCI (2005-2007) 完成博士后科研,并于 2007 年加入麻省理工学院,担任应用数学系讲师。2010 年,他转入麻省理工学院工程学院,在机械工程系和土木与环境工程系的双聘Esther Harold E. Edgerton助理教授,自 2014 年夏天起晋升为 Gilbert W. Winslow 副教授。2007年夏季加入瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院 (EPFL)Reis教授是固体力学和柔性结构领域的知名学者,主要致力于将诸如屈曲等机械不稳定现象用于开发新功能器件上,先后在Nature, Science, PNASPRL等顶尖期刊发表论文近百篇。2013 10 月,Popular Science杂志将Prof. Reis列入其 2013 杰出 10 科技青年明星名单。他是 APS 的研究员,也是 2021 年工程科学学会 (SES) 主席。他还获得了 2014 年职业奖(NSF)、2016 Thomas JR Hughes 青年研究员奖(ASME 应用力学部)、2016 GSOFT 软物质研究早期职业奖(APS)。

Pedro Miguel Reis is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, where he is the Director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. Prof. Reis received a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Manchester, UK (1999), a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Mathematics (Part III Maths) from St. John’s College and DAMTP, University of Cambridge (2000) and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Manchester (2004). He was a postdoc at the City College of New York (2004-2005) and at the CNRS/ESPCI in Paris (2005-2007). He joined MIT in 2007 as an Instructor in Applied Mathematics. In 2010 he moved to MIT’s School of Engineering, with dual appointments in Mechanical Engineering and Civil & Environmental Engineering, first as the Esther and Harold E. Edgerton Assistant Professor and, since the summer of 2014 as Gilbert W. Winslow Associate Professor. In October 2013, the Popular Science magazine named Prof. Reis to its 2013 “Brilliant 10” list of young stars in Science and Technology. He has also received the 2014 CAREER Award (NSF), the 2016 Thomas J.R. Hughes Young Investigator Award (Applied Mechanics Division of the ASME), the 2016 GSOFT Early Career Award for Soft Matter Research (APS), he is a Fellow of the APS, and he is the 2021 President of the Society of Engineering Science (SES). 

报告摘要:

 在本次虚拟实验室参观和讲座中,Reis教授将带领大家在线上参观由他指导的位于瑞士洛桑的联邦理工学院EPFL的柔性结构实验室 (fleXLab)。首先展示一些实验设施并分享最近的一些研究活动,重点是磁驱动材料结构的力学问题。fleXLab 的研究重心主要集中在柔性结构的力学问题,这些结构主要利用结构的后屈曲行为去实现新的功能和变形模式。从方法的角度,fleXLab认为大规模高精度模型实验结合理论和模拟的支持,是解决核心力学问题的强大工具,可以同时服务于以科学为基础的工程和以工程为动力的科学发展上。近期,我们非常关注由磁流变弹性体制成的柔性结构,这种结构可以在外部磁场的作用下被驱动。团队将介绍针对此类系统的实验、建模和计算方面的一些最新进展,并展示一系列具体的示例,其中包括(i)具有再编程存储器的可编程机械超材料; (ii) 磁驱动梁结构和Kirchhoff-like rods(iii) 具有可调屈曲特性的磁性壳。fleXLab团队的多名成员将参与此次虚拟参观,包括Tim Chen(博士后),Arefeh Abbasi(博士生),Dong Yan(博士后),Tomohiko Sano(前博士后,现日本庆应义理大学教师)。 

It used to be that academic seminars involved a researcher visiting a host institution to deliver a talk and meet with colleagues (do you remember those days?!). Times have changed, at least temporarily, but this situation is also opening opportunities. In this 'talk', we will be inviting you for a virtual tour of our Flexible Structures Laboratory (fleXLab) at EPFL in Switzerland. We will show you some of our experimental facilities and share some of our recent research activities, focusing on the mechanics of magneto-active structures. Multiple members of our team will be involved in this tour. Research at our fleXLab focuses is centered in the general area of the mechanics of slender structures, which leverage their post-buckling regime for novel modes of functionality. Methodologically, we recognize scaled high-precision model experiments as a powerful tool for discovery in mechanics, supported by theory and computation, in a vision of science-enable engineering and engineering-motivated science. Recently, we have become fascinated with active structures made out of magneto-rheological elastomers that can be actuated in the presence of an external magnetic field. After introducing some recent advances in experimentation, modeling, and computational for this class of systems, we will present a series of concrete examples. Specifically, we will discuss (i) (re)programmable mechanical metamaterials with programmable memory; (ii) magneto-active beams and Kirchhoff-like rods; and (iii) magnetic shells with tunable buckling properties.
       This virtual lab will involve the participation of the following fleXLab members: Tim Chen (postdoc), Arefeh Abbasi (PhD student), Dong Yan (postdoc), Tomohiko Sano (former postdoc, now faculty at Keio University, Japan).
