On January 30th, Ignacio Romero gave this seminar as part of the hands-on series, explaining basic principles and specific examples for selecting software tools leading to a more productive career in computational mechanics, computational materials science, and similar fields. Download

On December 2nd, M. Elahi defended his PhD thesis entitled "Computational Modeling of Powder Bed Fusion Manufacturing of Metals", co-advised by D. Tourret and I. Romero. Included in the PhD program on Mechanical Engineering at the ETSI Industriales of the UPM, the thesis was awarded the highest

The thesis was entitled "Constitutive Modelling and Thermomechanical Calibration of a Novel Superalloy Subjected to Extreme Conditions" and was defended in the ETSI Industriales of the UPM. Congratulations to Juan!

Jifeng Li defends his PhD thesis entitled "Crystal Plasticity Simulation of the Thermo-mechanical Behavior in Polycrystalline Metals", co-advised by Javier Segurado and Ignacio Romero. Congratulations!
