Structure-Mechanical Property Relations of Metals, Alloys, Composite Materials and Polymer Hydrogels
Dr. S. Mahesh, Department of Mechanical Engineering
Our work focuses on relating the microscopic structure to the macroscopic properties of a variety of materials. We build models of microscopic physical phenomena that capture technologically important properties such as fracture toughness, creep curves and plastic response.
Keywords: Fracture, creep, plasticity, computer simulation.
