S. Cesnik (Chair)\nProfessor Daniel J. Inman (Member)\nProfessor Jerome P. Lynch (Cognate)\nProfessor Anthony M. Waas (Member)\n\nPresentation Info:\nDate: April 30th\, 2019\nTime: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM\nLocation: McDivitt Conference Room\, 1044 FXB Building\n\nGuided wave methods are widely used for damage detection in the field of structure health monitoring (SHM). If damages are to be effectively and accurately detected\, a strong and deep understanding of wave propagation in typical structures must be developed\, considering complexities associated with guided waves interactions with structural boundaries\, transducers and various damage scenarios. The state of the art in numerical simulation mostly limits to finite element analyses that are either unable to handle the fine spatial-temporal resolutions required by guided wave simulation\, or are computationally inefficient. Local Interaction Simulation Approach (LISA) offers a competing solution by exploiting the massively parallelization capability of the algorithm and the extensibility to incorporate sophisticated local mechanisms that allow for coupled modeling of transducers and damages. \n\nThis dissertation presents the development of the multi-GPU enabled UM-LISA numerical framework for guided wave modeling and propagation simulation and several applications in SHM and elastic metamaterial research. Multiple formulation features were developed and numerically implemented that enable versatile simulation of wave propagation in finite damped medium with various damage scenarios. UM-LISA is later extended to address different problems\, including the characterization of fatigue damage in aluminum plate\, the investigation of wave fields generated by phase arrays of multiple piezoelectric wafers\, and the performance characterization of 3-D printed functional graded acoustic black holes. The wave propagation prediction from these applications are also tested against experimental data. The agreement between simulation and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing numerical simulation for the investigation of wave propagation in SHM and elastic metamaterials.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728360@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190426T132756 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Ph.D. Defense: Hina Aftab Khan DESCRIPTION:Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy among women in the US\, responsible for 14\,000 deaths per year\, and five-year survival rate of 25%. Within the primary and metastatic microenvironments in the ovary\, peritoneal ascites and omentum\, the ovarian cancer cells are subject to several mechanical stresses\, including compressive stresses generated by uncontrolled cell growth in a confining space\, increased tissue stiffness due to tumor cell extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling\, and increased interstitial fluid pressure due to the angiogenic growth of new leaky blood vessels. However\, current models to study these stimuli within the ovarian tumor microenvironment are lacking in biophysical cues\, relevant extracellular matrix dynamics and the ability to consistently sustain cells through the detachment process. The absence of consistent optimization of matrix composition and degradation mechanics also leads to occurrences of increased cytolysis during in vitro experimentation. In order to meet this critical unmet need\, my Master’s thesis is focused on developing extracellular matrices that feature comparable consistent compositional\, structural and mechanical cues. Additionally\, these matrices facilitate biophysical modulation to be applicable over a wider range in a manner that allows for improved experimental precision. Given the range of matrix stiffness\, permeability and porosity\, I have developed and characterized hydrogels for designing extracellular mimics for ovarian cancer mechanotransduction studies.\n\nIn this work\, I highlight the need for optimization of interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels’ homogeneity\, thereby providing uniform adhesion during mechano-transduction experiments. Further\, I optimized cell harvesting via thorough cell detachment without causing cytolysis for downstream analysis including\, flow cytometry on detached cells. Moreover\, I have characterized the rheologic\, transport and structural properties of IPN hydrogels\, and demonstrate how these can account for variation in experimental results. Overall\, my thesis provides insight into the significance of hydrogel matrix composition when constructing cell scaffolds for specific cellular microenvironments.\n\nOwing to their success as natural hydrogel scaffolds\, I utilized alginate and agarose to design the ovarian cancer extracellular matrices. Within these networks\, collagen served as the second component of the IPN network\, providing an anchoring fibrillar network for the cells within the otherwise non-fibrillar material\, and further enhancing the biocompatibility of the scaffold. I varied the IPN hydrogel composition to demonstrate a relevant range structural and mechanical properties. Further\, I characterized the homogeneity\, morphology\, fiber structure\, stiffness\, gelation time\, permeability and porosity of IPN hydrogels. Lastly\, I evaluated ovarian cancer cells for cellular function post-harvest from IPN hydrogels\, to demonstrate successful detachment and degradation of the surrounding matrix.\n\nThe results of this study enable tailoring of the IPN hydrogel extracellular matrices according to required mechanical\, structural\, and biophysical parameters for not only ovarian cancer\, but also other originating tissues for improved robustness and reliability of the in vitro cancer bioengineering models.\n\nChair: Dr. Geeta Mehta UID:63402-15669549@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63402 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,Dissertation,engineer,engineering,Graduate Students,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 2203 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190117T043640 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T110000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Drink Water DESCRIPTION:Learn how to increase your daily water intake!\n\nWhat is Lorem Ipsum? \nLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

However\, experimental methods that enable in vivo characterization of this multi-layered organ are currently lacking. Soft tissue artificial phantoms can be used to diagnose certain skin diseases or to validate the efficacy of medical procedures. This study proposes a non-invasive method to obtain three-dimensional displacement measurements of soft tissue using suction and digital image correlation. We developed a measurement device capable of applying suction loading while capturing images of the full-field deformation of the area of interest. Soft tissue phantoms were fabricated\, and a temporary speckle pattern was applied to each surface to provide unique features required for image correlation. A soft tissue phantom with less stiff inclusions of various diameters and a 3D printed ellipsoid was prepared. Analysis was performed using an open-source software\, DICe\, and both peak displacement and pressure were further parameterized for comparison metrics. The stiffness of each material was validated by comparison to each other and a hard surface. The softer inclusions were not detected\, however\, the material with inclusions behaved differently than the control\, indicating an overall change in material properties. Preliminary results support the use of the parameterizations as comparison metrics and demonstrate the successful application of 3D-DIC to measure deformation of a surface under suction loading. The device can be modified in the future to enable measurement of surfaces with larger contours or smaller regions of interest. The compact design of the instrument permits data collection in a range of environmental conditions outside of the lab\, facilitating experiments that are currently not possible. \n\nChair: Deanna Gates UID:63350-15653092@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63350 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,Dissertation,engineering,Graduate,Graduate Students,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research LOCATION:Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - 1610 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190404T101240 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Nevertheless\, as the list of cataloged RNAs expands there is a parallel lag in our understanding of the mechanistic basis of many RNA functions. This is in many ways due to a dearth of precise biochemical methods to understand RNA expression\, structure\, and function. Within this seminar I will detail our lab’s efforts to bring the power of chemistry to bare on these challenges\, with particular focus on developing novel chemical reactions to measure RNA structure and chemical genetic approaches to assay RNA expression in a cell-specific manner. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRobert Spitale (University of California Irvine) UID:61059-15027186@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61059 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190430T184803 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190430T190000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Human and Environmental Well-being in Alaska's Kachemak Bay Watershed: An Ecosystem Services Assessment DESCRIPTION:The Kachemak Bay watershed\, located on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska\, encompasses several terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems that provide a range of benefits and services that are not easily quantified.

Even so\, Americans have often resorted to more dramatic paths to dis-empower the chief executive. \n \n“How to Get Rid of a President” is a lively narrative showcasing various dark sides of the nation’s history: a stew of election dramas\, national tragedies\, and presidential departures mixed with party intrigue\, personal betrayal\, and backroom shenanigans. \n\nIn this briskly-paced and approachable sweep of history\, Priess barnstorms through history\, showing all the ways – from impeachment to death – that presidents have either left office prematurely or just barely avoided doing so. While the pomp and circumstance of presidential elections might draw more attention\, the way that presidents are removed teaches us much more about our political order.\n\n\nFree Admission.
