DESCRIPTION:Prof. Iwona Jasiuk\, Department of Mechanical Science and Engi
 neering\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\nAbstract:\nBone is a
  multi-functional biological material\, optimized by nature\, to perform i
 ts multiple functions. This seminar addresses several inter-related topics
  on bone. First\, bone is studied as a structural material. Bone has a com
 plex hierarchical structure which contributes to its excellent mechanical 
 properties when healthy. Computational models can provide insights on the 
 structure-property relations in bone and serve as predictive tools to asse
 ss bone health. Secondly\, bone is studied as a biological material which 
 adapts to loads. Finally\, bone can serve as an inspiration from nature fo
 r designs of new materials for medical and engineering applications.  Mec
 hanics of such bioinspired materials is discussed.\n \nBio:\nIwona Jasiuk
  received her Ph.D. in theoretical and applied mechanics at Northwestern U
 niversity. Prior to joining the Department of Mechanical Science and Engin
 eering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, she held facult
 y positions at Michigan State University\, Georgia Institute of Technology
  and Concordia University in Montreal.  At Illinois\, she also holds affi
 liate faculty positions in Bioengineering\, Aerospace Engineering\, Civil 
 and Environmental Engineering Departments and part-time faculty of Institu
 te for Genomic Biology and Beckman Institute. Her research is in mechanics
  of composite materials\, nanomaterials\, and biological materials with a 
 focus on bone. She published over 130 journal papers and over 60 conferenc
 e papers. She is a co-editor of Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Stru
 ctures\, a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers since 20
 03\, a Fellow of the Society of Engineering Science since 2012.
