Explores total scattering and PDF analysis in materials science, covering in-situ synthesis, data analysis techniques, and applications in host-guest systems.
Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Covers the principles and concepts of biomineralization, including the types of biominerals, induced vs. controlled biomineralization, and its impact on the biosphere.
Covers Classical Laminate Theory for solving mechanics problems with multiple material layers, discussing displacements, strains, stresses, and equilibrium.
