Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor George M. Pharr (USA/1128148) from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA Professor George M. Pharr is a leading expert in the physics of deformation at small scales, in particular, the mechanisms of plasticity and fracture at micrometer and nanometer dimensions. He has developed equipment and basic methods for nanoindentation testing. His contributions to this field have been groundbreaking over the years and his publication on the analysis of nanoindentation data is considered to be the most important reference in the field. During his stay in Germany, Professor Pharr will help to develop a new experimental setup for mechanical tests studying plasticity at very small-scales. The role of different mechanisms such as nucleation, interaction or starvation of dislocations for the deformation behavior of metallic nanostructures and nanowires will be examined. Professor Pharr is hosted by Professor Oliver Kraft at the Institute for Materials Research at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. |
