Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Polymer

M.D. Thouless spends much of his time researching Composite material, Fracture, Fracture mechanics, Brittleness and Fracture toughness. Plasticity, Adhesive, Stress, Toughness and Substrate are the core of his Composite material study. His studies examine the connections between Fracture and genetics, as well as such issues in Composite number, with regards to Glass fiber.

His Fracture mechanics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Flexural strength, Deflection and Dissipation. The Brittleness study combines topics in areas such as Crack closure, Thin film, Cracking and Residual stress. His Fracture toughness course of study focuses on Crack growth resistance curve and Epitaxy and Elastic substrate.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of pull-out on the mechanical properties of ceramic-matrix composites (345 citations)
  • Tunable elastomeric nanochannels for nanofluidic manipulation (305 citations)
  • Mixed-mode fracture analyses of plastically-deforming adhesive joints (258 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Composite material, Fracture mechanics, Fracture, Toughness and Mechanics. His Brittleness, Fracture toughness, Adhesive, Delamination and Plasticity investigations are all subjects of Composite material research. His studies in Fracture mechanics integrate themes in fields like Adhesion, Shear and Substrate.

His work focuses on many connections between Fracture and other disciplines, such as Deformation, that overlap with his field of interest in Numerical analysis. His Toughness research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cohesive zone model, Modulus, Epoxy, Composite number and Length scale. His work in Mechanics addresses subjects such as Stress, which are connected to disciplines such as Steady state and Nucleation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Composite material (58.15%)
  • Fracture mechanics (21.74%)
  • Fracture (19.02%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Composite material (58.15%)
  • Mechanics (16.85%)
  • Toughness (18.48%)

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

M.D. Thouless spends much of his time researching Composite material, Mechanics, Toughness, Stress and Fracture mechanics. M.D. Thouless conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Composite material and Zirconium alloy through his research. His Mechanics research includes themes of Creep, Finite element method, Contact mechanics, Fretting and Slip.

While the research belongs to areas of Toughness, M.D. Thouless spends his time largely on the problem of Cracking, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Fracture. His research in Stress intersects with topics in Leading edge, Bounded function, Mathematical analysis and Constitutive equation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Layer, Double cantilever beam, Shear force and Timoshenko beam theory.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Low-interfacial toughness materials for effective large-scale deicing. (77 citations)
  • Lithium Mechanics: Roles of Strain Rate and Temperature and Implications for Lithium Metal Batteries (69 citations)
  • Shear forces, root rotations, phase angles and delamination of layered materials (22 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Polymer

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mechanics, Composite material, Contact mechanics, Stress relaxation and Strain rate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fracture mechanics, Strain energy release rate, Double cantilever beam, Shear force and Timoshenko beam theory in addition to Mechanics. His work in Interfacial toughness and Thermal expansion is related to Composite material.

His studies deal with areas such as Surface finish, Length scale and Wavenumber as well as Contact mechanics. His Stress relaxation research incorporates elements of Ultimate tensile strength, Cracking, Fracture, Cylinder stress and Toughness. His Strain rate study combines topics in areas such as Lithium metal, Lithium and Chemical engineering.
