Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
METRANS Seminar"Distribution of Airline Tickets: A Tale of Two Market Structures"Volodymyr BilotkachAssistant Professor, Department of Economics,University of California, Irvine ABSTRACT: This seminar will examine competition between online travel agents and its influence on airline ticket prices. What effect, if any, do websites such as Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity have on the price that consumers pay for tickets? Does the presence of and competition between these online travel agents ensure that consumers will get a better deal?Wednesday, October 17, 2007, 12:00-2:00 PM, Lewis Hall (RGL) Room 100**Light refreshments will be served. Please feel free to bring a bag lunch**For more information, please contact Matthew Hissom at hissom@usc.edu

Highly Nonlinear Dynamics in Solids: a new Horizon in Wave Propagation
Wed, Oct 17, 2007 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Chiara Daraio Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Applied PhysicsCalifornia Institute of TechnologyPasadena, CA The discovery of novel highly nonlinear dynamic phenomena in multiscale artificial composite systems (metamaterials) will be presented. Emphasis will be given to the new tunable properties provided by the high nonlinearity in the specific cases of granular materials and carbon nanotubes. This research was conducted for designing and constructing optimized macro-, micro- and nano-scale structural configurations of materials and for studying their nonlinear acoustic behavior. Variation of composite arrangements of the fundamental elements with different elastic properties in a linear 1-D chain-of-spheres, Y-junction or 3-D configurations led to a variety of novel physical phenomena and interesting wave properties. Potential applications can be found in the area of mechanical, structural and biomedical engineering as well as security and communications systems. The characterization of mechanical and electronic properties of carbon nanostructures with different atomic arrangements and microstructures, exhibiting an exciting highly nonlinear behavior, will also be discussed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chiara Daraio's interests reside at the interface of materials science, condensed matter physics and solid mechanics, particularly in the design, development and testing of multi-scale metamaterials; phononic crystals; responsive soft matter; highly nonlinear solitary waves; mechanical and electronic properties of nano and biomaterials. http://www.daraio.caltech.edu She received her Laurea degree (Equivalent to a master degree) in Mechanical Engineering from the Universita' di Ancona, Universita' Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy (2001). She received her M.S. (2003) and Ph.D. degrees (2006) in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, San Diego. She has been a guest researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, NCEM, since 2003 and won several awards. Among these, she is a Gold Medal winner of the MRS Graduate Student Award (2005) and winner of the AIM young investigator award (2006). She published over 30 peer reviewed papers, one book chapter and one patent.
