本周周四（04月18日）将举行本学期第5次实验室学术论坛,将由秦庆华教授为大家带来一场关于智能材料及其在土木工程中的应用方面的讲座，欢迎大家积极参与讨论。
主题：智能材料及其在土木工程中的应用（Smart materials and their applications in civil engineering ）
主讲人：秦庆华 教授 （澳大利亚国立大学）
时间：2019年04月18日（周四）下午16:00 - 18:00
地点：南校区土木与交通工程学院C501
报告内容提要：
Smart materials including ferroelastic, ferromagnetic, piezoelectric, and shape memory alloy are discussed. Smart materials here referred to materials that will undergo controlled transformations through physical interactions. They are multi-functional materials, materials having both sensing and actuation functions. In other words, it is capable of sensing their environment and can respond accordingly. Examples showing the application of smart materials in civil engineering are presented. As an illustration of the application, we will discuss damage detection in concrete using smart materials.
报告人介绍：
Qing-Hua Qin received his Bachelor of Engineering degree in mechanical engineering from Chang An University and earning his Master of Science degree and PhD degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in China. Both MS and PhD are in applied mechanics. He joined the Department of Mechanics as an associate lecturer at HUST in 1984. After spending ten years lecturing at HUST, he was awarded a DAAD/K.C. Wong research fellowship in 1994, which enabled him to work at the University of Stuttgart in Germany for nine months. In 1995 he left HUST to take up a postdoctoral research fellowship at Tsinghua University, China, where he worked until 1997. He was awarded a Queen Elizabeth II fellowship in 1997 and a Professorial fellowship in 2002 at University of Sydney and stayed there till December 2003, both by the Australian Research Council, and is currently working as a professor, associate dean of the college, and group leader of materials and manufacturing group in the Research School of Engineering at the Australian National University, Australia. He was appointed a guest professor at HUST in 2000. He was also awarded a Cheung Kong Professorship at Tianjin University in 2001 from the Ministry of Education of China. He has published more than 300 journal papers and 8 English monographs in the field of applied mechanics.
