CAREER: Micromechanics Mechanisms and Cyclic Mechanical Behavior

CAREER奖旨在促进工程领域的研究和教育。本研究旨在研究室温下多晶金属材料物理机制的微观特征及其与宏观循环力学行为的关系。目标是将实际应力分析与材料科学的基本发现联系起来。教育计划包括创新教学和发展本科和研究生课程。将建立一个系统的试点研究计划，让本科生参与研究项目，使他们尽早接触实际问题。将发展自主和开放式的实验室实验，以鼓励学生更有创造力。

The CAREER award is made to advance both research and education in engineering. The researchis to study the microscopic features of physical mechanisms and their relations with macroscopic cyclic mechancial behavior in polycrystalline metallic materials near room temperature. The goal is to bridge practical stress analysis with fundamental findings in material science. The education plan consists of innovative teaching and developing undergraduate and graduate cuorses. A systematic pilot research program will be created to involve undergraduate students in research projects to provide early exposure to practical problems. Self-directed and open-ended laboratory experiments will be developed to encourage the students to be more creative.
