25th Structural Engineering & Mechanics Symposium

Keynote Presentation Multi-scale Topology Optimization Ole Sigmund, Villum Investigator, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark Topology optimization was introduced as a multi-scale approach in the seminal paper by Bendsøe and Kikuchi in 1988. However, simpler isotropic density interpolation schemes soon substituted the original homogenization-based approach and have contributed to the breathtaking development of…

EWC Seminar by Nadine Kotlarz: Monitoring for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Raleigh wastewater solids as a means of community-wide COVID-19 infection surveillance

Environmental, Water Resources, and Coastal Engineering Seminar Series Virtual seminar link: https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/96156963811?pwd=QVRwSmlRZ1lqWm1xL0JVcG9RWC9Zdz09 Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals shed the virus in stool. Therefore, analyzing municipal wastewater is an emerging strategy to track SARS-CoV-2 infections at the community level. We measured SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in primary solids from the Raleigh wastewater treatment plant, which serves approximately 500,000 people,…
