COMPSAFE 2025 in Kobe

Prof. Seunghwa Yang attended COMPSAFE2025 in Kobe, Japan, as a presenter.

The presentation, titled "Hyperthermal Erosion of Multifunctional Nanocomposites TPS through Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations," focused on the comparative analysis of the effects of nitrogen molecules and atomic oxygen on thermal protection materials for satellites. The research was primarily led by Dr. Inseok Jeon.

During the conference banquet at COMPSAFE2025, Prof. Seunghwa Yang had the opportunity to meet Prof. Muneo Hori, a renowned expert in micromechanics and co-author (with Prof. Sia Nemat-Nasser) of the influential book Micromechanics: Overall Properties of Heterogeneous Materials.

Prof. Yang's research on multiscale modeling of nanocomposites is grounded in Prof. Hori's multi-inclusion model, a foundational theory in micromechanics. Notably, Prof. Yang has extended the multi-inclusion model to address interfacial imperfection problems and hygroscopic elasticity, and has presented papers based on these developments. Prof. Hori warmly welcomed the introduction and kindly agreed to take a commemorative photo with Prof. Yang.

Prof. Yang also recalled his doctoral days when he first studied the multi-inclusion model and became curious about the bounds of material properties in infinite media. He once reached out to Prof. Hori with this question, and Prof. Hori, pleased to see his model being actively studied, responded with a thoughtful and encouraging reply.
