Topic: Two Scale Modelling of Crack Initiation and Failure in Polycrystalline Materials

Speaker: Prof. Ferri M H Aliabadi, Imperial College London

Date: June 6, at 14：30

Venue: Room C708, Main New Building

Abstract:

In this talk, a two-scale approach to degradation and failure in polycrystalline materials will be presented. It is generally recognized that macroscopic material properties depend on the features of the microstructure. The understanding of the links between microscopic and macroscopic material properties, main topic of Micromechanics, is of relevant technological interest, as it may enable deep understanding of the mechanisms governing materials degradation, damage characteristics and failure. In this talk, damage initiation and failure in two very different type of material, that is, Polycrystalline and Woven Composite, are discussed.
