| Laboratory
for MicroMechanics of Materials is concentrated in the areas of
micromechanical
characterization of materials (including composites,
superplastic,
magnetic and
thin film
layered structures). The main focus for these activities is
to correlate
details of microstructure (crystallographic grain and phase)
distribution in
the materials and properties (mechanical, magnetic) exhibited by these
materials. A variety of analytical approaches together with
computational
analysis (statistical analysis
and neural network)
have been used to characterize the
distribution of the microstructure (crystal grain, phase) and its
linkage to
property. One major emphasis has been to apply the concept of
n-point probability
functions to composites
(elastic, plastic and magnetic)
and finally to polycrystalline materials and layered
structures. I
consider this as my most important contribution. |
