报告摘要：
Porous structures made of foams, lattices, and honeycombs are gaining tractions in various industrial sectors, and are featured with light weight, high specific stiffness, good energy absorption, and novel thermal, biological, acoustic characteristics. They give unique flexibility in performance-tailoring and possess great potential in multi-functional applications. Highlighted by non-uniform cellular geometries, functionally graded (FG) porous structures are an important extension of the existing porous structural forms and potentially provide enhanced properties. This seminar is focused on the design and analysis of FG porous structures, providing the big picture in terms of their theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies.
个人简介：
Dr Da (Daniel) Chen is an ARC DECRA (Australian Research Council, Discovery Early Career Researcher Award) fellow and a Lecturer at School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (#17, QS 2024), the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney, #19, QS 2025). Daniel has a diverse research background across structural, mechanical, and material engineering in Australia and Germany. Before joining UNSW, he conducted research at the University of Queensland, Technische Universität Darmstadt, and the University of Melbourne. With a focus on the development of novel composite and structural forms, he is best known of his contributions to the advance of Functionally Graded Porous Structures, where he has published 1 book (1st book in this field) and 7 Highly Cited Papers (WoS). He aims to bridge the micro-macro divide in the mechanical analysis of porous composite materials/structures, and to push this field towards the multi-functional applications and commercialisations. Daniel is ranked among the top 2% scientists (single-year ranking, Stanford University, 2023 & 2024), and is leading the Australian Composites Manufacturing CRC Project “Manufacturing Automation for Smart Travel Surfboard”. His publications have received a total of about 4k citations in Google Scholar.
