Project A02 of the SFB1394 studies dislocations in crystallographic complex phases and investigates the effect of segregation on the structure and properties of defects in the Mg-Al-Ca System.

Using simple model atomic interaction potentials, this project investigates how lattice discreteness and heterogeneities lead to deviations from the usual continuum mechanical treatments of cracks and dynamic fracture. more
This ERC-funded project aims at developing an experimentally validated multiscale modelling framework for the prediction of fracture toughness of metals.

This project aims at understanding the mechanical properties of glasses on the basis of their structure and the relevant atomic-scale deformation mechanisms.
