Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor McMeeking is a world leading expert in the field of large strain computation methods for metals, ductile fracture analysis for cracks, models for the toughness, creep and fatigue of ceramics and composite materials, the characterization of material interface test methods, models for powder consolidation, and the constitutive analysis of ferroelectric materials and actuators. With the support of the Humboldt award, he will work on models and computations for motion and force generation in biological systems covering length scales from the actions of the cell cytoskeleton to the behaviour of cephalopods. |
