Microstructural analysis using integrated experiments and numerical modelling

与纳米材料相关的、可见到薄片大小的微观结构，是任何材料科学家、地质学家或冰川学家的重要工具。微结构演化是这些学科如何解开颗粒尺度结构、变形条件和机制以估计变形强度或数量的基础。这个项目将使我们能够通过综合实验室实验和数值模拟，更好地解释一系列自然、有机和复合材料中的微结构演变。有了这些结果，我们将对复合材料和冰川中普遍存在的条件进行建模，并将其应用于地壳中的操作过程。

Microstructures related to nano-materials and visible up to the scale of a thin section, are important tools for any material scientist, geologist or glaciologist. Microstructural evolution underpins how these disciplines unravel grain-scale structures, deformation conditions and mechanisms to estimate the intensity or amount of deformation. This project will allow us to better interpret microstructural evolution, in a range of natural, organic and composite materials, by using integrated laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. With these results we will model the conditions that prevail in composite materials, in glaciers and apply them to processes operating in of the Earth's crust.
