At the invitation of Prof. Guanglan Liao of State Key Laboratory of Digital Manufacturing Equipment and Technology, Prof. Mo Li from Georgia Tech, who is in the first batch of recipients of the Thousands Talent awards, made a presentation titled "Mechanical anisotropy in amorphous solids from continuum to nanoscale" at A416 of Advanced Manufacture Building on November 19.
In the lecture, Prof. Li introduced the research status of anisotropy from the relationship between microstructure and mechanical property of materials. He briefly described how to investigate materials properties through computational simulation and shown us his latest research advancements on the anisotropy of amorphous solids. The amorphous solids, which are isotropy in microstructure, exhibit mechanical anisotropy and this phenomenon occurs from continuum to nanoscale. He held a detailed discussion about it.
Subsequently, Prof. Li shared his inspirations about research and communicated with participants by Q&A. It is also known that he participated in the regular meeting of Prof. Guanglan Liao's group after the lecture and further discussed research programme, technical detail and academic collaborations, providing valuable advice to students.
