Episode 60: Materials Modeling at General Electric

At a time where longevity and product life cycle is becoming increasingly important, learn how materials life can be modeled well before the production line. In this episode of our GE sponsored series we explore materials modeling and using tools such as Finite Element Analysis to save both money and materials.    This episode is sponsored by GE, a leading company in a multitude of fields.

Om Podcasten

In this podcast, Taylor and Andrew investigate the past, present, and future of materials science and engineering. Topic areas ranging from cutting edge materials technology, the history of different materials, the commercialization of new materials, and exciting advances in processing and characterization are all covered in detail. Our episodes include things like the unlikely discovery of superglue or teflon, the fascinating backstories about modern biomaterials like dialysis filters, and updates on new technologies including wearable electronics, next generation batteries, and nanomaterials. In short, we hope to help listeners understand the critical role that materials have played in society and even glimpse into what the future may hold for new materials.
