SHORT DESCRIPTION
Characterization of the deformation and fracture mechanisms of metallic polycrystals through the application of diffraction contrast tomography (to assess the 3D polycrystal structure) in combination with in situ mechanical tests using electron-backscattered diffraction and high-resolution digital image correlation.
OTHER DETAILS
IMDEA Materials Institute is a public research organization founded in 2007 by Madrid’s regional government to carry out research of excellence in Material Science and Engineering by attracting talent from all over the world to work in an international and multidisciplinary environment. IMDEA Materials has grown rapidly since its foundation and currently includes more than 120 researchers from 22 nationalities and has become one of the leading research centers in materials in Europe which has received the María de Maeztu seal of excellence from the Spanish government. The research activities have been focused on the areas of materials for transport, energy, and health care and the Institute has state-of-the-art facilities for processing, characterization and simulation of advanced materials.
