Stress Assisted Environmental Damage in Structural Materials

Abstract

Structural metals are the basis of the modern Navy. Ship construction depends critically upon the assembly of metal plates bonded to each other and to an underlying metal support framework. The physical and mechanical properties of these metals limit the designs of ships, aircraft and ground vehicles. The behavior of these materials exposed to operational conditions under sea environment is of extreme importance in the mission readiness of the assets.The main emphasis of this workshop is on understanding the damage mechanisms in engineering materials which are subjected to stresses and chemical environment simultaneously. The ways to combat and control such damages and different techniques to characterize is going to be given prime importance. The workshop tries to address these issues from an atomistic scale to macro-scale which involves theoretical modeling and characterization including electron microscopy.
