Microscale characterization of granular deformation near a crack tip
Abstract
This paper presents a study of microscale plastic deformation at the crack
tip and the effect of microstructure feature on
the local deformation of aluminum specimen during fracture
test. Three-point bending test of aluminum specimen was conducted
inside a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging system.
The crack tip deformation was measured in situ utilizing SEM imaging
capabilities and the digital image correlation (DIC)
full-field deformation measurement technique. The microstructure feature
at the crack tip was examined to understand its effect on
the local deformation fields. Microscale pattern that was suitable

Best regards,
Looking for a postdoc position (Thermoelectric material)
I am an engineering doctor of School of Physics in Shandong University, China, graduated in July of 2011. And I have, during the doctor's research period, actively engaged myself in the area of thermoelectric material for 5 years, focusing particularly on the oxide thermoelectric material and module. I keenly desire to obtain a post-doc. Research position in a thermoelectric research group, and further continue the study of thermoelectric.Most of my work has published in peer-viewed journals. So I can do academic writing by myself.
