Mechanics of Materials
1 Items
Mechanics of Materials examines constitutive behaviour, damage evolution and failure mechanisms in engineering materials under complex loading. Topics include plasticity models, fracture toughness characterisation and fatigue life prediction. Multiscale approaches link microstructural features—grain boundaries, dislocations—with macroscopic mechanical properties through homogenisation techniques. Experimental methods such as digital image correlation and nanoindentation validate theoretical models. Interactions with materials science domains, including surface treatments and composite reinforcement, drive development of durable, high-performance materials.
