Talk Title: Integrated Computational Materials Science, Manufacturing and Engineering of Textile Polymer Composites
Abstract: Composite materials and structures made of textile architecture are a rapidly emerging, cost-effective technology for the manufacturing of large aerospace structures. At the Composite Structures Laboratory at UM, an integrated computational framework for textile polymer composites that includes a novel polymer curing model, has been developed and used in connection with modeling the manufacturing process of textile composites. The model is based on the notion of polymer networks that are continuously formed in a body of changing shape due to changes in temperature, chemistry, and external loads. Nonlinear material behavior is incorporated through nonlocal continuum damage mechanics that preserves mesh objectivity in finite element based calculations that go beyond maximum loads. The integrated model is applied to the curing of a textile composite made from carbon fiber tows and a thermoset polymer. The mechanical and chemical properties are measured during curing using concurrent Brillouin and Raman light scattering. It is shown that significant internal stresses can develop during cure. The effect of these stresses on the manufactured part performance, when subsequent service loads are applied, is evaluated and found to be in agreement with experimental observations. Subsequently, an engineering approach to evaluating the compressive strength of braided textile composites, while accounting for the manufacturing induced stresses, is developed and validated against experiments.

USC PSOC Seminar Series - Dr. Steven Henikoff

Talk Title: Histone Variants, Nucleosome Dynamics, and Epigenetics
Abstract: Variants of histone H3 and H2A are found in all eukaryotes and play fundamental roles in epigenetic processes. The replacement variant, H3.3, becomes enriched at actively transcribed genes and regulatory elements and provides a glimpse into nucleosome dynamics. H2A.Z is enriched around gene promoters, antagonizes DNA methylation, and is profoundly altered during oncogenic transformation. CenH3 forms centromere-specific nucleosomes that organize and maintain the kinetochore at a unique position on the chromosome. We have found that CenH3 nucleosomes are very different from bulk nucleosomes, both in histone core structure and in DNA topology, with likely implications for centromere function and inheritance.
