SUMMARY:NE Seminar: "Shock Compression and Strain Rate Effect in Semi-cryst
 alline Polymers"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nHigh strain and high strain-rate applications in aero
 space\, defense\, and automotive industries have led to interest in utiliz
 ing the ability of many polymers to withstand extensions to failure of sev
 eral hundred percent\, often without localization or necking\, and their s
 trong rate dependence.\nA broad range of characterization techniques will 
 be presented for semi-crystalline polymers\, including elastic-plastic fra
 cture\, split Hopkinson pressure bar\, plate impact and Taylor Impact.\nTe
 mperature and strain-rate dependence will be reviewed in terms of classic 
 time-temperature superposition and an empirical mapping function for super
 position between temperature and strain-rate.\nResults from Dynamic-Tensil
 e-Extrusion (Dyn-Ten-Ext)\, plate impact experiments\, neutron and x-ray d
 iffraction will be discussed.\nBio\nEric Brown\, Ph.D.\nUser Facility Dire
 ctor\, Los Alamos Neutron Science Center\nLos Alamos National Laboratory\n
 Dr. Eric Brown is the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) User Fac
 ility Director and Senior Director in the Physical Sciences Directorate at
  Los Alamos National Laboratory. His research has spanned fracture and dam
 age of complex heterogeneous polymers and polymer composites for energetic
 \, reactive\, and structural applications\, including crystalline phase tr
 ansitions\, plasticity\, dynamic loading conditions\, and self-healing mat
 erials.\n\nHe has served as the Technical Advisor for the Joint DoD/DOE Mu
 nitions Technology Program in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense
 \, led the Neutron Science and Technology Group in the Physics Division\, 
 served as the Division Leader for the Explosive Science and Shock Physics 
 Division leading a wide range of research into high explosive development 
 and application\, and been a senior scientist in the Office of Experiment 
 Science at Los Alamos.\n\nHe was the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journ
 al of Dynamic Behavior of Materials. He is the Past President of the Soci
 ety for Experimental Mechanics and served two terms on the Board of Direct
 ors for the Minerals\, Metals and Materials Society.\n\nHe is a Fellow of 
 the American Physical Society and the Society for Experimental Mechanics. 
 He has received awards for his technical achievements in physics and mater
 ials science from the ASC\, DOE-NNSA\, LANL\, MRS\, SEM\, TMS\, and the Un
 iversity of Illinois.\n\nEric received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in
  1998 and a Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in 2003\, both from
  the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
