Hi friends,
Continuing with
the cycle of publications of one slide, I am attaching here the second one:
I want to
tell you that this is part of an exercise I was working on last week during the
second SMARTI ETN training at the University of Nottingham (where is based the SMARTI
ETN project).
This time,
the training was about Communication Skills. Therefore, the coordination team
and some experts in the topic were teaching us about the use of digital tools
for research, how to write successful scientific papers to get our research
published, how to build our digital presence and in the middle of all of that:
how to present in 3 minutes our project to an open audience (3MT).

3MT is a competition
that was born at University of Queensland (Australia) and had been extended
around different universities in the world. This activity helps to develop the communication
and scientific diffusion skills of young researchers. Therefore the
coordination team was encouraging us the last week to prepare our 3 minutes
thesis presentation.
I should
recognize that this activity was a challenge for me; I should improve in so
many aspects. However, I should also recognize that through the looking for the
challenge was the way that I arrive to the SMARTI ETN program. Where would be
the learning if there is not a challenge in the way?!
This second
slide comes from the development of this activity and I am going to explain it
a little bit (I want to leave information for the next posts).
The MAMs
were born from the continuous necessity of roads engineers to develop new
technology of materials to improve the performance of the roads the society
constantly needs for communication and existence.
The traditional
materials for roads have the problem to crack under low temperatures and high
speeds of traffic, and to deform under high temperatures and slow speeds of
traffic.
Therefore the
MAMs are coming as a solution to this problem. MAMs are a new technology of
smart materials (SMARTI ETN J). The MAMs can adapt its mechanical behavior to
the external physical conditions of the environment (weather and traffic) because
they had been mechanically mutated to react to the forces of magnetic fields.
By
controlling the magnetic fields engineers have the power to improve the performance
of the roads, giving to them a longer service life.
This is all
I am going to talk about the topic for the moment. I want to save information
for other posts! Please stay tuned!
Keep in
touch,
ESR 14-PLP.
