Dr. David Furrer, Pratt & Whitney
Join us for a reprise and more in-depth virtual meeting and networking!
Please RSVP!
Abstract
Engineered materials will enable the future of advanced system architectures and component designs. Join us for a discussion on materials development to meet evolving product requirements such as cost, performance, manufacturability, durability, and recyclability. Materials definitions are migrating from simple empirical mechanical property data and design curves to processing path and microstructure-based models for both legacy and emerging materials. We’ll talk about machine learning, materials informatics, and data capture, as well as the linkages between engineering disciplines contributing to this expanding field.
About the speaker
