Abhishek Dhyani, Macromolecular Science & Engineering PhD Student, demonstrates use of low interfacial toughness (LIT) coatings in the North Campus Research Complex on North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on April 15, 2019.

The coatings help shed ice effortlessly from large surfaces and could be used for such surfaces such as cargo ships, airplanes, power lines, wind turbines, oil rigs, and commercial buildings.

Colorado State University's Walter Scott Jr. College of Engineering celebrates its graduates at the Spring 2022 Commencement. May 14, 2022

Members of UMTRI Assistant Research Scientist Monica Jone’s research group run a study to help people avoid and treat motion sickness in autonomous vehicles at the Transportation Research Institute at the University of Michigan on March 4, 2020.

Jones and her group measure baseline metrics such as skin temperature, posture, heart rate, and facial expressions first. These metrics are measured against changes as study participants ride in a vehicle with specific maneuvers to test levels of motion sickness. Jones hopes to understand the fundamentals of human response that will help enable autonomous vehicle manufacturers and future related technologies.

Gaang Lee, Civil Engineering PhD Student, helps Ilene John, a research participant and resident of senior housing facility Clark East Tower, when her wheelchair gets stuck in the middle of the road during a trial on a predetermined test route in Ypsilanti, MI on September 6, 2018.

Lee is administering a project as part of CEE Professor SangHyun Lee research group in which they track the varying stress levels induced by their physical environments. Participants wear sensors that track heart and perspiration rates, and blood pressure as they move outside of the facility in a variety of environments.

Yi Bao, Manager of the Advanced Civil Engineering - Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Michigan's College of Engineering, begins construction on the world's first concrete "Lego" inspired footbridge inside the Structures Lab on North Campus in Ann Arbor, MI. on May 22, 2019.

This prototype bridge is made up of 31 interlocking blocks secured with nuts and bolts for quick assembly. The blocks themselves are made of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC), or "bendable concrete", which is more ductile and more durable than traditional concrete.

The footbridge is designed for total reuse. The blocks can be easily disassembled and reassembled into a new configuration, rather than being discarded. Just like Lego bricks, they can be used again and again to create new structures as needs change.
