Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Mathematics
  • Metallurgy

His primary areas of investigation include Hydrogen embrittlement, Plasticity, Metallurgy, Microstructure and Fracture. His Hydrogen embrittlement study is related to the wider topic of Composite material. His studies in Plasticity integrate themes in fields like Forensic engineering, Hydrostatic stress, Dislocation, Slip and Flow stress.

His Forensic engineering study combines topics in areas such as Ultimate tensile strength and Plane stress. His research related to Intergranular corrosion, Martensite and Embrittlement might be considered part of Metallurgy. His work in Fracture addresses subjects such as Stress, which are connected to disciplines such as Strain rate, Porous medium and Constitutive equation.

His most cited work include:

  • Hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity—a mechanism for hydrogen-related fracture (1136 citations)
  • Numerical analysis of hydrogen transport near a blunting crack tip (379 citations)
  • Hydrogen Embrittlement Understood (342 citations)

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

Petros Athanasios Sofronis mainly investigates Hydrogen embrittlement, Metallurgy, Plasticity, Composite material and Fracture. His research integrates issues of Stress, Stress intensity factor, Deformation, Microstructure and Forensic engineering in his study of Hydrogen embrittlement. His work on Cracking expands to the thematically related Metallurgy.

His studies deal with areas such as Micromechanics, Grain boundary, Intergranular corrosion, Dislocation and Martensite as well as Plasticity. His Composite material study deals with Constitutive equation intersecting with Contact area and Viscoelasticity. The concepts of his Fracture study are interwoven with issues in Intensity and Hydride.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hydrogen embrittlement (64.33%)
  • Metallurgy (59.65%)
  • Plasticity (45.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Composite material (38.60%)
  • Hydrogen embrittlement (64.33%)
  • Microstructure (38.01%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Composite material, Hydrogen embrittlement, Microstructure, Plasticity and Dislocation. His work in the fields of Hardening, Alloy steel and Void overlaps with other areas such as Particle. Petros Athanasios Sofronis has included themes like Paris' law and Stress intensity factor in his Hydrogen embrittlement study.

Many of his research projects under Microstructure are closely connected to Methane gas with Methane gas, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. He has included themes like Metallurgy and Martensite in his Plasticity study. Many of his studies on Dislocation apply to Fracture as well.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Enumeration of the Hydrogen-Enhanced Localized Plasticity Mechanism for Hydrogen Embrittlement in Structural Materials (92 citations)
  • Enumeration of the Hydrogen-Enhanced Localized Plasticity Mechanism for Hydrogen Embrittlement in Structural Materials (92 citations)
  • Hydrogen-enhanced-plasticity mediated decohesion for hydrogen-induced intergranular and “quasi-cleavage” fracture of lath martensitic steels (89 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Mathematics
  • Metallurgy

Petros Athanasios Sofronis spends much of his time researching Hydrogen embrittlement, Plasticity, Dislocation, Metallurgy and Martensite. His Hydrogen embrittlement study is associated with Composite material. His work in Transgranular fracture, Intergranular corrosion and Lath are all subfields of Composite material research.

Petros Athanasios Sofronis has researched Dislocation in several fields, including Microstructure, Carbon steel and Fracture. Petros Athanasios Sofronis focuses mostly in the field of Metallurgy, narrowing it down to matters related to Failure mode and effects analysis and, in some cases, Structural material. Petros Athanasios Sofronis works mostly in the field of Structural material, limiting it down to topics relating to Paris' law and, in certain cases, Stress intensity factor.
