What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Corrosion (50.32%)
  • Metallurgy (25.91%)
  • Pitting corrosion (10.71%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Corrosion, Metallurgy, Pitting corrosion, Geotechnical engineering and Seawater. In general Corrosion, his work in Reinforcement corrosion is often linked to Term linking many areas of study. His Metallurgy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Water injection and Immersion.

His study in Pitting corrosion is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gumbel distribution and Extreme value theory. His Geotechnical engineering study combines topics in areas such as Mooring, Sanitary sewer, Splash and Reliability. The concepts of his Seawater study are interwoven with issues in Environmental engineering, Nutrient, Nutrient pollution and Aluminium alloy.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modelling concrete deterioration in sewers using theory and field observations (49 citations)
  • Bi-modal trends in the long-term corrosion of copper and high copper alloys (28 citations)
  • Long-term under-deposit pitting corrosion of carbon steel pipes (25 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Composite material
  • Structural engineering

His primary areas of study are Corrosion, Metallurgy, Soil water, Cast iron and Pitting corrosion. Robert E. Melchers interconnects Seawater and Geotechnical engineering in the investigation of issues within Corrosion. His Metallurgy research includes themes of Immersion and Compaction.

His work on Soil properties is typically connected to Electrical resistivity and conductivity as part of general Soil water study, connecting several disciplines of science. His studies in Cast iron integrate themes in fields like Empirical modelling and Perforation. His work deals with themes such as Fatigue loading, Service life, Brittleness and Magnesium, which intersect with Pitting corrosion.
