Fracture & Fatigue

Our research focuses on the fatigue and fracture behavior of metallic materials through rigorous experimental testing. By observing and analyzing fracture surfaces at a microscopic level, we identify crack initiation points and trace the pathways of crack propagation. This comprehensive approach allows us to pinpoint critical vulnerability factors and predict potential structural failures with high accuracy.
Ultimately, these insights serve as the foundation for proposing advanced alloy design solutions. We integrate experimental data from uniaxial loading and bending tests to optimize material compositions and microstructures, ensuring superior durability and resistance to fracture in demanding applications.
