From the series of the Institute of Thermomechanics Seminar. On November 7, 2018, 10:00, we have two lectures in lecture room B:
1) Europe without USA – not just in the energy sector, V. Bartuška, special envoy of the Czech Republic for Energy Security, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
2) New role of silicon thin films in advanced photovoltaics, A. Fejfar, Institute of Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences
The remarkable properties of shape memory alloys (SMA) that are utilized in a number of useful applications are due to a phase transformation between austenite and martensite. In many situations, the transformation does not proceed homogenously, but in the form of macroscopic transformation bands, i.e. in a highly localized manner. »»»
In December 3 – 4, our institute will be visited by prof. Elisabeth Aeby-Gautier (Institut Jean Lamour, Nancy, France) and prof. Benoit Appolaire (CNRS-ONERA, Chatillon-Paris, France), who are both interested in experimental characterization and mathematical modelling of microstructures in metastable titanium alloys. »»»
On June 4-6, 2014, the Institute of Thermomechanics ASCR will be visited by Prof. M. I. Osendi, Prof. P. Miranzo and Dr. M. Belmonte from the Institute of Ceramics and Glass, CSIC Madrid. During their visit, a one-day workshop will be organized in the Seminar Room B. The workshop will consist of three invited talks given by the visitors and a number of smaller talks by Czech groups interested in possible collaboration. »»»
