The student will learn about and perform elastic moduli measurements at different temperatures in textured materials. The studies will focus on thermodynamical and dynamical properties and the changes with composition and thermomechanical history. Elastic measurements will be compared with mechanical response. By measuring materials with different melting points and textures the student will learn about different aspects related to metals and alloys properties.
Expected duration 12 months.
