2007 - Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Composite material

His scientific interests lie mostly in Phase, Martensite, Condensed matter physics, Thermodynamics and Stress. The various areas that he examines in his Phase study include Stress relaxation, Landau theory, Boundary value problem and Constitutive equation. Valery I. Levitas has researched Martensite in several fields, including Forensic engineering and Austenite.

His Condensed matter physics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Crystal twinning, Microstructure, Instability and Nucleation. His research in Stress intersects with topics in Transformation, Stress space, Hysteresis and Plasticity. His Plasticity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Diamond anvil cell, Dislocation and Shear stress.

His most cited work include:

  • A Variational Formulation of Rate-Independent Phase Transformations Using an Extremum Principle (268 citations)
  • Thermomechanical theory of martensitic phase transformations in inelastic materials (171 citations)
  • Three-dimensional Landau theory for multivariant stress-induced martensitic phase transformations. I. Austenite↔martensite (170 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Thermodynamics, Plasticity, Phase, Composite material and Mechanics. His work deals with themes such as Kinetics and Kinetic energy, which intersect with Thermodynamics. Valery I. Levitas interconnects Diamond anvil cell, Crystallography, Hydrostatic equilibrium and Strain hardening exponent in the investigation of issues within Plasticity.

His studies deal with areas such as Field, Stress, Condensed matter physics, Hysteresis and Transformation as well as Phase. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Finite element method under Mechanics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Cauchy stress tensor, Mathematical analysis and Thermodynamic potential. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Nucleation, concentrating on Martensite and frequently concerns with Austenite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Thermodynamics (27.36%)
  • Plasticity (29.97%)
  • Phase (29.64%)

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

  • Composite material (23.78%)
  • Stress (23.13%)
  • Phase (29.64%)

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

Valery I. Levitas mainly investigates Composite material, Stress, Phase, Diamond anvil cell and Finite element method. His study in Stress is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phase transition, Quenching, Strain hardening exponent, Dislocation and Creep. His Phase research includes themes of Field, Hysteresis, Diffusionless transformation, Martensite and Transformation.

His Martensite research incorporates themes from Shear, Nanoscopic scale, Condensed matter physics and Thermodynamics. His Diamond anvil cell research incorporates elements of Torsion, Diamond, Zirconium and Plasticity. His Finite element method research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Thermodynamic potential, Cauchy stress tensor and Angular displacement.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fatigue-resistant high-performance elastocaloric materials made by additive manufacturing. (50 citations)
  • Fatigue-resistant high-performance elastocaloric materials made by additive manufacturing. (50 citations)
  • Imaging stress and magnetism at high pressures using a nanoscale quantum sensor. (40 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Composite material

Composite material, Torsion, Finite element method, Microstructure and Phase are his primary areas of study. His Torsion research includes elements of Severe plastic deformation, Plasticity, Diamond anvil cell, Dislocation and Volume fraction. Valery I. Levitas combines subjects such as Thermodynamic potential and Cauchy stress tensor with his study of Finite element method.

His Microstructure research also works with subjects such as

  • Hysteresis that connect with fields like Latent heat, Durability, Topology optimization, Thermal efficiency and Shape-memory alloy,
  • Strain hardening exponent which intersects with area such as Stress. His Stress study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Thermodynamics. His Phase research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Wetting, Nanoscopic scale, Parameter space, Transformation and Plane.
