Homogenization-based polycrystal plasticity models
February 8, 2013
In this short course the participants will review and compare the available models for polycrystals deforming in the viscoplastic regime. Basic elements, assumptions and range of applicability of the models will be presented. Discussion of hardening and texture evolution associated with several strain paths (rolling, torsion, compression) of different metallic materials, and a hands-on training on how to simulate polycrystal plastic forming using our Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent (VPSC) code will be provided.
Lecturer Dr.Ricardo LEBENSOHN
Senior Researcher, MST Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA
Visiting Scientist, IMDEA Materials, Spain

Interview with Juan José Vilatela, Head Researcher of the Multifunctional Nanocomposites group of IMDEA Materials
February 8, 2013
"I am convinced that the carbon nanotube fibre will revolutionize the composite materials field".
Juan José Vilatela has a BSc in Engineering Physics (Hons) from Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico, and a PhD from Cambridge University, obtained in 2009. Before joining IMDEA Materials Institute he worked as a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at Cambridge University. His research focused mainly on the development of a new high-performance fibre made of carbon nanotubes. The fibre spinning process is currently under industrial scale-up; Dr. Vilatela being an active consultant in this development.
