Dr. Gizem Akıncı, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Abstract: Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a popular particle-based fluid/solid simulation technique with its wide application area ranging from the entertainment industry (e.g., movies, video games, commercials) to scientific research fields (e.g., medical simulations, dam and flood simulations, petroleum research). As the method has been gaining increased interest, simulation scenarios have been becoming more diverse and more complex.

The effects of uncertainty of hydraulic conductivity and van Genuchten fitting parameters, α and n, used for unsaturated flow modeling, on transient seepage through embankment dams are investigated. Random variables of the parameters are generated using a number generation algorithm and it is coupled with a finite element software, SEEP/W, which is commonly used for seepage and groundwater flow problems. Stochastic analyses are handled via Monte Carlo simulation.

Dr. K. Levend Parnas Department of Mechanical Engineering Middle East Technical University Time : 18 February 2015, Wednesday at 10:00 Place : Room 241 Abstract Structures made of thick composites have been attracting a wide interest with an increase in demand for lighter and stronger parts in especially aerospace, wind and automotive industries. While the replacement of thin metal parts with composite counterparts is becoming an aged story, relatively thick parts however emerge as a new challenge. Their design requires the development of new methods and approaches.
