Welcome to the group Micromaterials
Institute of Materials Physics, University of Vienna
Main Research fields:
Micromaterials are essential components of microsystems, microsensors, microelectronic devices being used in the car-, aviation and telecommunication industry.
At present the knowledge of deformation characteristics of micromaterials is required, because they define the reliability and the lifetime of such miniaturized systems.
Our main objective is to study thermal, mechanical and structural properties of such small scaled structures. Thus our group is specializing in material physics in micro dimensions. We focus on fundamental- as well as applied research in cooperation with industry. Our investigations include:
-
non contacting strain measurements
-
thermomechanical properties
-
fatigue life and fatigue crack growth properties
-
thermal strain
Other research fields:
Fatigue properties of PM- materials
in cooperation with Technical University Vienna
Univ. Prof. Dipl. Ing. Dr. Herbert Danninger
Laser speckle sensors for material testing
in cooperation with Johannes Keppler University Linz
Univ.Prof. Dipl.Ing. Dr. Bernhard Zagar
