Congratulations to CMM Students, Benjamin Laredo, Alana Zahn and Pushpa Jain for successfully defending their MS thesis this past semester. Ben worked on understanding of the mechanics of wrinkle formation during composite stitching, Alana worked on modeling failure behavior in hybrid thin-ply composites and Pushpa worked on effects of annealing and iso-static compaction in 3D printed composites. Ben’s and Alana’s projects were supported by NASA.
