Abstract:
Sound waves allow us to produce and enjoy beautiful music, communicate through speech, and perceive the world around us. The same physics can be used to solve rigorous engineering problems, such as finding damage hidden in structures, medical imaging, and designing materials with unnatural properties. This talk will discuss recent research at UIUC on how acoustic waves interact with materials, and why this is important in a variety of engineering applications.
Registration is requested. A to-go style lunch will be provided at the end of the seminar for those who have registered to attend.
