Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Composite material

His main research concerns Mechanics, Statistical physics, Classical mechanics, Granular material and Scaling. His Mechanics research includes elements of Barchan, Saltation and Dissipation. The various areas that Hans J. Herrmann examines in his Barchan study include Geometry and Wind direction.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Monte Carlo method, Percolation threshold, Percolation and Cluster. His Classical mechanics course of study focuses on Molecular dynamics and Measure. His Scaling study incorporates themes from Transfer matrix and Lattice.

His most cited work include:

  • Statistical Models for the Fracture of Disordered Media (757 citations)
  • Mitigation of malicious attacks on networks (519 citations)
  • Apollonian networks: simultaneously scale-free, small world, euclidean, space filling, and with matching graphs. (323 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mechanics, Statistical physics, Classical mechanics, Granular material and Condensed matter physics. His Mechanics research focuses on Saltation and how it relates to Turbulence. Hans J. Herrmann interconnects Fractal dimension, Percolation, Cluster, Monte Carlo method and Scaling in the investigation of issues within Statistical physics.

His Fractal dimension study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Geometry. Many of his studies on Percolation apply to Percolation threshold as well. Hans J. Herrmann integrates Power law and Exponent in his research.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (32.65%)
  • Statistical physics (24.59%)
  • Classical mechanics (11.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Mechanics (32.65%)
  • Statistical physics (24.59%)
  • Fractal dimension (10.18%)

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

Hans J. Herrmann mainly focuses on Mechanics, Statistical physics, Fractal dimension, Scaling and Condensed matter physics. His Mechanics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Granular material, Particle, Saltation and Porous medium. His study looks at the relationship between Saltation and topics such as Wind tunnel, which overlap with Turbulence.

His Statistical physics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Function, Schramm–Loewner evolution, Hurst exponent and Brownian motion. His Fractal dimension study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geometry and Percolation threshold. His Condensed matter physics research incorporates themes from Dirac equation, Electron, Percolation and Graphene.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Revealing the structure of the world airline network (99 citations)
  • Disease-induced resource constraints can trigger explosive epidemics (64 citations)
  • Disease-induced resource constraints can trigger explosive epidemics (64 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Composite material

Hans J. Herrmann mainly investigates Mechanics, Statistical physics, Discrete element method, Complex network and Topology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Rheology, Granular material, Saltation, Porous medium and Saturation in addition to Mechanics. His work carried out in the field of Statistical physics brings together such families of science as Fractal dimension, Simulation and External field.

Hans J. Herrmann works mostly in the field of Discrete element method, limiting it down to concerns involving Power law and, occasionally, Radial line, Conical surface, Vector field and Body orifice. His studies in Complex network integrate themes in fields like Telecommunications network, Distributed computing, Shortest path problem and Electric power. In his study, Probability distribution, Tree, Limit and Focus is strongly linked to Degree distribution, which falls under the umbrella field of Topology.
