Reminder to attending the following: MATERIALS ENGINEERING SEMINAR "Phonon Thermal Transport in Bulk Silicon: Comparative Study of Different Computational Approaches" By Shivam Tripathi Purdue MSE Ph.D. Preliminary Exam Advisor: Professor Alejandro Strachan ABSTRACT Rapidly growing interest towards nanoscale electronic and mechanical devices, makes efficient thermal management extremely important for both performance and reliability. Phonon thermal conductivity is a critical parameter to determine the applicability of a non-metallic material in a given application. Computational approaches along with experiments are extremely important for exploring new materials required for next-generation technology. Although there are several ways to predict phonon thermal conductivity using computational approaches like equilibrium molecular dynamics, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics, Boltzmann transport equation, each has their respective pros and cons. Therefore, it is important to understand them thoroughly and determine which one is more suitable for any given situation. This document provides a comprehensive study of these processes and compares their results for bulk silicon. Date: Monday, February 19, 2018 Time: 2:30 P.M.

Seminar Reminder for Daniela D. Betancourt Jimenez's Preliminary Exam: Seminar: Friday, Feb. 9, at 9:00 a.m., in HAMP 1266; Exam: Friday, Feb. 9, at 10:30 a.m., in ARMS 2237. " Phase Change Materials as Temperature Regulators in Asphalt Pavement"

Please consider attending the following: MATERIALS ENGINEERING SEMINAR "Phase Change Materials as Temperature Regulators in Asphalt Pavement" By Daniela Betancourt Jimenez Purdue MSE Ph.D. Preliminary Exam Advisor: Professor Carlos J. Martinez ABSTRACT Asphalt pavement constitute the building material for approximately 95% of the roads in the United States. However, due to the viscoelastic nature of the binder, the performance of the asphalt can be dramatically affected by extreme temperatures. The integration of phase change materials (PCMs) has been proven to be a feasible and effective way to regulate the temperature in other building materials and it's currently being investigated for asphalt applications. This report summarizes the main approaches studied for the incorporation of PCM systems in asphalt pavement materials and some of the challenges encountered in the process. It also proposes the use of a new technique for PCM microencapsulation that is believed will help overcome the problems associated with PCM encapsulation such as supercooling, low thermal conductivity and PCM leaking. It is believed that this new method will provide a viable solution to reduce asphalt distresses and delay the ice formation and snow accumulation during the winter season.
