Group member Eric Anderson (eric.h.anderson@sjsu.edu) got the Donald Beall Award for Engineering Accomplishment. Eric investigated the effects of lattice density on stochastic fracture of 3D printed composites. He also manufactured composites via vibration-assisted fused deposition modeling (VA-FDM), which we developed to reduce inherent porosity in extrusion 3D-printed materials. Eric also processed biomimetic porous polymers with […]
