Microstructure and mechanics of materials

The team studies microstructures, crystallographic textures, residual stresses in metals and plastic deformation mechanisms. Deformation at high strain rates is also investigated. Techniques used include X-ray and neutron diffraction, scanning microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). Mechanical tests (e.g., compression and tension) and "in situ" diffraction measurements during these tests are also carried out. In addition, theoretical calculations using micro-macro deformation models (elastic-plastic and visco-plastic self-consistent models) are carried out.
