报告人简介：

Graham McShane is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering at the university of Cambridge, where he pursued his undergraduate and PhD degrees. He is also a Fellow of Queens’ College. His research focuses on the mechanics of lightweight materials, such as cellular materials, composites and sandwich structures. He is particularly interested in their response to dynamic loading, examples being impact and blast, and enhancing their resilience and energy absorbing properties. His current research includes the mechanics of additively manufactured metallic cellular materials, ranging from materials processing to their mechanical properties at different strain rates. Also, metamaterials inspired by origami fold patterns, to design cellular structures with versatile mechanical properties. Another area is the high strain rate behaviour of lightweight sandwich panels, to withstand blast and enhance impact damage tolerance. In relation to this, he also works on the mechanics of flexible cellular materials for personal protective equipment, such as head impact protection. With respect to larger structures, Dr McShane studies resilient materials for the built environment, which covers the blast and impact response of concrete structures, and the use of polymer coatings to reduce damage.
