Nominator's project description
| Professor Turner is well-known for his pioneering work in quantitative ultrasonic characterisation to study the local and global mechanical properties of very different materials. His research encompasses ultrasonic scattering to characterize the microstructure of materials. Professor Turner described the diffusion of elastic waves in the strong scattering regime and developed dynamic methods in atomic force microscope and in nanoindentation to map the elastic and the anelastic behavior of heterogeneous materials with nanometer resolution. |
