Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics

His primary areas of investigation include Dislocation, Condensed matter physics, Crystallography, Fracture mechanics and Mechanics. Peter Gumbsch combines subjects such as Bending, Nucleation, Transmission electron microscopy and Plasticity with his study of Dislocation. His Condensed matter physics research focuses on Crystal twinning and how it connects with Cubic crystal system.

His Crystallography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Diamond and Molecular dynamics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Instability, Brittleness, Crystallographic defect, Cleavage and Fracture toughness. His research integrates issues of Shear, Linear elasticity and Emerging technologies in his study of Mechanics.

His most cited work include:

  • Structural relaxation made simple. (801 citations)
  • Crack propagation in b.c.c. crystals studied with a combined finite-element and atomistic model (377 citations)
  • Interactions between non-screw lattice dislocations and coherent twin boundaries in face-centered cubic metals (355 citations)

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

Peter Gumbsch mainly investigates Dislocation, Composite material, Condensed matter physics, Plasticity and Crystallography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Classical mechanics, Slip, Grain boundary and Nucleation in addition to Dislocation. His study in Condensed matter physics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ab initio and Tungsten.

His Plasticity research incorporates elements of Continuum, Mechanics, Thin film and Flow stress. His Mechanics study also includes fields such as

  • Cleavage and Fracture most often made with reference to Fracture mechanics,
  • Molecular dynamics which connect with Chemical physics. He studies Crystallography, namely Partial dislocations.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Dislocation (34.73%)
  • Composite material (33.89%)
  • Condensed matter physics (25.77%)

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

  • Composite material (33.89%)
  • Microstructure (19.89%)
  • Tribology (10.64%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Composite material, Microstructure, Tribology, Mechanics and Metamaterial. His Composite material study combines topics in areas such as Characterization and Impulse. His Microstructure study incorporates themes from Fiber-reinforced composite, Finite element method, Focused ion beam and Dislocation.

The concepts of his Dislocation study are interwoven with issues in Misorientation, Scanning electron microscope, Transmission electron microscopy, Slip and Contact mechanics. His studies in Mechanics integrate themes in fields like Nucleation, Deformation, Homogenization, Buckling and Dissipation. The various areas that Peter Gumbsch examines in his Plasticity study include Torsion, Stress field and Condensed matter physics.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Characteristics of mechanical metamaterials based on buckling elements (55 citations)
  • Characteristics of mechanical metamaterials based on buckling elements (55 citations)
  • New Twists of 3D Chiral Metamaterials (51 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics

Peter Gumbsch focuses on Microstructure, Plasticity, Mechanics, Composite material and Metamaterial. His work deals with themes such as Tribology, Copper, Nanocrystalline material and Deformation, which intersect with Microstructure. His Plasticity research integrates issues from Boundary value problem, Homogenization, Strain hardening exponent, Mesoscopic physics and Mean field theory.

His research in Mechanics tackles topics such as Flow stress which are related to areas like Lattice, Molecular dynamics, Phase diagram and Perpendicular. His Composite material research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Continuum and Dipole. His Dislocation research incorporates themes from Nucleation, Deformation mechanism, Strain rate, Slip and Grain size.
