Explores plasticity in single crystals, including mechanisms of plastic flow and strain hardening, with a focus on dislocation behavior and geometrically necessary dislocations.
Explores deformation and fatigue under cyclic stresses in materials, including plastic deformation, cyclic hardening, and the influence of environmental factors.
Explores models for plastic deformation in glassy and semi-crystalline polymers, including the Eyring model and the influence of secondary transitions.
