Titel of the lecture

In Quest of High-Performance Metals

Abstract:

Lighter, yet larger aeroplanes for net-zero emission flights; development of modern renewable energy production and storage; crash-resistant vehicles. These are just a few examples of technological advancements that are only possible to achieve using novel high-performance materials capable of handling harsh working conditions. Developing such materials also minimizes the need for service, maintenance, and re-manufacturing, thus improving the sustainability aspects in grand societal and industrial challenges. This lecture presents the most modern strategies for the design and development of next-generation high-performance metallic materials (alloys). The research integrates computational modelling as well as experimental studies and has huge potential for interdisciplinary collaborations. These studies accelerates industrial innovation by opening new horizons for developing methodological tools, with far-reaching implications in strategic sectors ranging from energy storage to transportation and aerospace engineering.

Titel of the lecture:
Casting, dinosaur skulls, cookies and trees: When differences unite into extraordinary structures

Abstract:
Although dinosaur skulls, cookies and trees may seem essentially different from metal castings, they share the common feature of having local variations in their internal material structure. In natural designs, these structural variations are tailored to enable extraordinary performance and damage tolerance.

This lecture presents research that aims to understand the effect of local material variations in metal castings, and enable computational predictions of heterogeneous microstructure-based material behaviour and the performance of castings in use. The research spans over multiple length scales (from macro to nano-scale) as well as different research disciplines, and enables new methodologies to design and optimize industrial castings that, just like natural designs, utilize these local variations to enable extraordinary structures.

Andreas will present findings about digitalization of accounting and auditing from the research project “Organizing and conceptualizing accounting in times of digitalization”. 

The pandemic can make it difficult to connect to other people. The experience of loneliness can evoke many thoughts and feelings.
We are inviting you to a conversation about how you are coping with these challenging times and what matters to you.
No pre-registration is needed.

The event will take place on the 28th of January at 3:00 pm until 4:00 pm. Participate by taping this link https://ju-se.zoom.us/j/69988315520
A counsellor and a priest will host the event.

A warm welcome and hope to see you then!
