Research Interests

  1. 金属材料の塑性変形(繰り返し変形,巨大ひずみ加工等)や熱処理によって形成される内部組織と,それらによってもたらされる機械的/機能的特性の関連性について研究を行っています.電視顕微鏡法や各種力学特性試験といった実験的手法と,転位論や速度論等の理論的手法を駆使して,組織と特性の関係(Structure-Property relationship)を明らかにしようと挑戦しています.

The main interest of the research is the relationship between the microstructure produced by plastic deformation (cyclic deformation, severe plastic deformation, etc.) and/or heat treatment of metallic materials, and the mechanical/functional properties brought about by them. We are trying to clarify the relationship between microstructure and characteristics (Structure – Property relationship) by using both the experimental methods such as microstructure observations and various tests of mechanical properties, and theoretical methods such as dislocation theory and kinetic theory.

Research Interests

  1. 金属材料の不均一変形と金属組織,機械的性質の関係について研究を行っています.金属は巨視的には均一な変形を起こしていてもメゾ・ミクロスケールでは不均一に変形が進行していることが分かってきています.それらの変形挙動を生み出す本質的な要因と機械的性質に及ぼす影響を明らかとすることで,新たな材料開発へと発展させていくことを目標としております.
