Presented By: Aerospace Engineering
AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Current Research in Composite Aerostructures
Anthony Waas, Richard A. Auhl Department Chair of Aerospace Engineering, University of Michigan
Anthony Waas, Richard A Auhl Department Chair of Aerospace Engineering
Felix Pawlowski Collegiate Professor, University of Michigan
After providing the introductory materials for this course, the speaker will describe current research in the Composite Structures Laboratory (CSL) at the University of Michigan related to Advanced (Robotic) Fiber Placement (AFP) technology. Furthermore, research and development related to characterizing impact damage and the residual strength of damaged composite aerostructures will also be described.
About the speaker...
Anthony M. Waas is the Richard A Auhl Department Chair of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor where he holds the Felix Pawlowski Collegiate Chair. Prior to that he was the Boeing Egtvedt Endowed Chair Professor and Department Chair in the William E. Boeing Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington, Seattle. Professor Waas’s research interests are: computational modeling of lightweight composite structures, robotically manufactured aerospace structures, 3D printing in aerospace, damage tolerance of aerospace composites, mechanics of textile composites and data science applications in aerospace engineering. Professor Waas was the Felix Pawlowski Collegiate Chair Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Director, Composite Structures Laboratory at the University of Michigan, from 1988 to 2014, prior to joining UW in January 2015. Professor Waas is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), and the American Academy of Mechanics (AAM). He is a recipient of several best paper awards, the 2016 AIAA/ASME SDM award, the AAM Jr. Research Award, the ASC Outstanding Researcher Award, and several distinguished awards from the University of Michigan. He received the AIAA-ASC James H. Starnes, jr. Award, 2017, for seminal contributions to composite structures and materials and for mentoring students and other young professionals. In 2017, Professor Waas was elected to the Washington State Academy of Sciences, and in 2018 to the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.
Professor Waas obtained his B.Sc in Aeronautics with First Class Honors from Imperial College, London, 1982, the ACGI in 1982, the MS and Ph.D in Aeronautics and Applied Mathematics (minor) from Caltech, 1983 and 1988, respectively.
