Materials Science in Radiation and Dynamic Extremes Group (MST­8), Materials Science and Technology Division ­ MS G755, Los Alamos National Laboratory ­ Los Alamos ­ NM 87545 USA Elastic, plastic, viscous and thermal properties of single crystals and polycrystal aggregates.

Constitutive models for simulating plastic forming, texture development, elasto­plastic response, internal stresses, and creep of polycrystals, based on physical mechanisms (scale bridging paradigm).

Prediction of mechanical properties and mechanical response of polycrystalline aggregates as a function of deformation rate, temperature, pressure and irradiation conditions.
