$200,000.00
Mechanics of Materials
FY 2024-25
Summary
Practical engineering materials like metals are complex, inhomogeneous collections of crystals or grains. These grains have different behaviours dependent on orientation and surroundings. While for practical applications a material¿s response under stress is often estimated ignoring these effects, understanding many behavioural aspects must consider the inherently inhomogeneous local characteristics. We investigate the influence of local inhomogeneity and the resulting internal stress on materials' deformation and processes occurring under stress and temperature fluctuations; a particular focus is the impact of radiation on local scale phenomena. We will define deformation mechanisms that drive development of practical engineering techniques and component design.
