Multiscale Mechanics
Multiscale Mechanics
Our research concerns material behavior over a wide range of length scales.
Research Objectives
- Novel mechanical behaviors of metal nanowires such as shape memory and pseudoelasticity with recoverable strains up to 50%
- Phase transformations in nanomaterials and their effects on the thermo mechanical coupling and thermoelectric coupling
- Strength and deformation of nanostructured polycrystalline materials such as Al and Fe2O3 and their composites
- Effects of microstructures of heterogeneous materials on fracture toughness
Applications
