应我校航空学院机械结构力学及控制国家重点实验室熊克教授的邀请，美国迈阿密大学Qingda Yang教授于2019年5月29日-2019年5月30日访问我校，并于5月30日做了题为“Augmented Finite Element Method for Virtual Testing of Composite Materials”的学术报告。报告介绍了一种能够预测复合材料损伤的渐近演化和量化其对结构完整性影响的增强有限元方法。在简要介绍了增强有限元方法之后，Qingda Yang教授又介绍了它在PMC层合板以及短纤维复合材料中的应用，报告内容丰富、精彩生动，对我校相关科研工作具有借鉴作用。同时，教授还结合自己多年的研究经历，与现场听众分享了研究心得和体会。

  访问期间，Qingda Yang教授在熊克教授的陪同下参观了机械结构力学及控制国家重点实验室，双方就复合材料与结构的损伤演化以及虚拟设计等领域研究的进一步合作进行了深入的探讨和交流。此次交流访问对于增强我校对外开展学术交流以及合作研究将起到积极的促进作用。

报告人简介：

Prof. Qingda Yang is a full professor in the MAE Department at the University of Miami (UM). Dr. Yang’s recent research has focused on developing multi-scale methodologies that can lead to realistic virtual testing and designing of complex heterogeneous materials and structures under general and/or extreme thermal-mechanical loading environments. He is an author/coauthor of 90 journal publications, 4 book chapters, and more than 30 refereed conference proceedings. He was a past Chair of the Composite and Heterogeneous Materials Committee in ASME (2010-2012), and is currently serving an editorial board member for three professional journals. Dr. Yang is an award recipient of several professional and academic societies, including the Eliahu I. Jury Award for excellence in research (2007) and the Prevost’s General Research Award (2008), both from UM, and three Technical Excellence Awards from Rockwell Scientific company (2001; 2004; and 2005).
