Course abstract
This course aims to provide the audience an introduction to time dependent plastic deformation of materials (creep) especially at high homologous temperatures. The goal is for the audience to learn the rate controlling mechanisms of creep and their utility in predicting the remaining useful life of a structure. Other Parametric approaches such as Larson-Miller parameter, Theta-projection concept, Kachanov-Rabotnov model will also be introduced. The course will conclude by highlighting the importance of accounting for creep in development of technologically important materials such as titanium alloys, zirconium alloys and advanced materials such as nanocrystalline materials.
Course Instructor
Prof. Srikant Gollapudi
The instructor is currently on the faculty of the School of Minerals, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar. He is a Metallurgist by training and obtained his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from NC State University with his doctoral thesis on Creep mechanisms in titanium alloy tubing. The instructor conducted his post doctoral research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has worked in different organizations such as General Motors, Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory and Saint Gobain Research India. The industrial experience has helped the instructor gain a better appreciation of the real life applications of academic knowledge. The instructor has published 16 journal articles, has 5 patent filings and a book chapter from his research work. The instructor research interests are in creep deformation of material, powder materials processing of nanocrystalline and amorphous materials and corrosion behavior of nanocrystalline materials.More info
