2012 - Theodore von Karman Medal

Member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanical engineering

Composite material, Nanoindentation, Indentation, Cement and Phase are his primary areas of study. Micromechanics, Elastic modulus, Portland cement, Creep and Material properties are the subjects of his Composite material studies. The concepts of his Nanoindentation study are interwoven with issues in Nanocomposite, Granular material, Cementitious, Microstructure and Calcium silicate.

The various areas that he examines in his Indentation study include Conical surface, Rotational symmetry, Characterization, Polishing and Surface roughness. His Cement research incorporates elements of Rheology and Specific modulus. Franz-Josef Ulm interconnects Chemical physics, Sphere packing, Mineralogy and Stiffness in the investigation of issues within Phase.

His most cited work include:

  • The effect of two types of C-S-H on the elasticity of cement-based materials: Results from nanoindentation and micromechanical modeling (666 citations)
  • The nanogranular nature of C–S–H (510 citations)
  • A realistic molecular model of cement hydrates (482 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Composite material, Nanoindentation, Cement, Porosity and Mechanics. His study in Composite material focuses on Micromechanics, Homogenization, Creep, Material properties and Porous medium. His Nanoindentation research incorporates themes from Indentation, Nanocomposite, Indentation hardness, Microstructure and Mineralogy.

Within one scientific family, Franz-Josef Ulm focuses on topics pertaining to Phase under Indentation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Characterization. His specific area of interest is Cement, where Franz-Josef Ulm studies Cementitious. His research in Porosity intersects with topics in Granular material and Molecular dynamics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Composite material (38.91%)
  • Nanoindentation (15.36%)
  • Cement (14.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Composite material (38.91%)
  • Cement (14.33%)
  • Mechanics (12.97%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Composite material, Cement, Mechanics, Fracture and Poromechanics. His Composite material research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Amorphous solid and Length scale. As a part of the same scientific family, Franz-Josef Ulm mostly works in the field of Cement, focusing on Sphere packing and, on occasion, Nanoparticle.

His work deals with themes such as Nanopore, Phase, Buckling and Mesoscale meteorology, which intersect with Mechanics. His Fracture research integrates issues from Fracture toughness and Material properties. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nanoindentation and Thermodynamics in addition to Poromechanics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Realistic molecular model of kerogen's nanostructure (148 citations)
  • Mesoscale texture of cement hydrates (106 citations)
  • Nanochemo-mechanical signature of organic-rich shales: a coupled indentation–EDX analysis (57 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanical engineering

Franz-Josef Ulm mainly investigates Mineralogy, Kerogen, Porosity, Nanoindentation and Composite material. His research in the fields of Clay minerals and Pyrophyllite overlaps with other disciplines such as Clintonite and Phlogopite. His research investigates the link between Porosity and topics such as Micromechanics that cross with problems in Continuum, Microporous material, Volume fraction and Elastic modulus.

His studies in Nanoindentation integrate themes in fields like Muscovite, Indentation, Characterization, Brittleness and Clay mineral X-ray diffraction. His Composite material research focuses on Homogenization, Scratch, Cement, Fracture toughness and Porous medium. His Cement study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Calcium silicate and Local pressure.
