Date
Friday, March 23, 2018
Time
11 a.m.-noon
Location
1610 Engineering Hall
Description
Patrick Le Tallec, Professor in the Department of Mechanics at Ecole Polytechnique, France, will explain why and how to go beyond the affine assumption through a local variational approach which minimizes the local free energy of the microstructure in the configuration space under a macroscopic deformation constraint to be expressed as a maximal path constraint.
