| Abstract Scope |
Micromechanics is a powerful tool for probing material properties, as it provides a detailed understanding of the behavior and performance of solids at the microstructural level. By analyzing the interactions between individual phases, grains, or constituents within a sample, micromechanics enables the prediction of macroscopic characteristics. This approach is particularly valuable for complex materials, where properties depend on the interactions between different microstructural components. Such experiments not only guide the design and optimization of materials with tailored properties but also allow the simulation of specific conditions in a controlled manner.
This presentation will focus on current efforts to push the boundaries of micromechanics under extreme conditions. The main emphasis will be on conducting experiments at high strain rates, coupled with in situ acoustic emission measurements. Applications will be discussed in the context of additively manufactured complex metals (thin films) and minerals. |
