MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING SEMINAR MSE PhD Examination Part I Dynamic Recrystallization Behavior of Particulate Reinforced Metal Matrix Composite during Secondary Processing by: Yiwei Sun Co-Advisors: Prof. K. Trumble & Prof. D. Johnson ABSTRACT Particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (MMC) have been recognized to have enhanced mechanical properties compared with their monolithic counterparts and consists the largest quantity of MMCs currently being used. Secondary processing, in forms of extrusion, rolling or forging, is frequently adopted after primary fabrication of these MMCs for purposes of shape forming and property improvement. During the process, the particulate reinforcements play an important role in the microstructural evolution and greatly influence the mechanical properties of the final product. Particle re-distribution and particle cracking have been observed during secondary processing. In addition, the existence of the hard ceramic particles in the relatively soft metal matrix leads to heterogeneity in strain during deformation and the deformation zones in the vicinity of particles (PDZ) give rise to particle stimulated nucleation (PSN) of recrystallized grains, which is the subject of this document. Date: Monday, October 6, 2014 Time: 10:30 AM Place: ARMS 1028 Lisa Stacey Secretary/Development Assistant Purdue University School of Materials Engineering 765/494-4100

Ethical conduct of research: Fall 14 mandatory activities
by Stacey, Lisa A 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Dear MSE Students and Postdocs, Every member of the Purdue community involved in research is required to take and pass training on the ethical conduct of research. Purdue University and the MSE faculty require MSE graduate students and postdocs: 1. Take and pass the CITI Responsible Conduct of Research Module on Physical Sciences, (as explained below). Please note that students on NSF fellowships are required to take this training within one month of the start of their fellowships.(You only have to meet this requirement ONE TIME, so if you've previously completed the CITI module, you do not have to do it again.) 2. Attend a yearly Ethics in Research seminar and participate in the activities associated with it. This semester the seminar will be on October 31 at 3:30 PM in ARMS1010. Attendance in mandatory. Students unable to attend the seminar should go over the content of the presentation with their research advisor and participate in the activities. Best regards, Prof. Strachan Additional information about Purdue's Responsible Conduct of Research plan. http://www.purdue.edu/research/vpr/rschadmin/rcr/ CITI training: https://www.citiprogram.org Please make sure you list Purdue as your institution. -- Alejandro Strachan Professor of Materials Engineering, Purdue University Network for Computational Nanotechnology - nanohub.org<http://nanohub.org> Center for Predictive Materials and Devices (c-PRIMED)
