Plasticity/Fatigue

Material characterization with a focus on plasticity and fatigue

Fatigue

Fatigue research conducted by the FATSLab includes multiaxial fatigue studies on magnesium, aluminum, and steel alloys. See below for examples of past fatigue research:

Plasticity

Visit ScienceDirect for Dr. Hamid Jahed's book on the fundamentals of cyclic plasticity models and applications.

Recent FATSLab research on plasticity has mainly focused on cyclic plasticity, though previous research has also centred around elastoplasticity modelling. See below for examples of plasticity research conducted by the FATSLab team:

Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM)

Novel, greener manufacturing method involving mechanical interlocking and plastic deformation of powdered materials deposited at high speeds

Cold spray research in the FATSLab mainly focuses on novel materials and structures and numerical modelling of the cold spray process at a micro- and nanoscopic level. See example studies and sub-areas below:
