Mechanical Behavior of Materials
In order to improve the performance of machines and structures, it is necessary to use materials with high functional properties. To respond such demands, development of functional materials having multiple functions, composite materials, and multi-material design are progressing. We study the evaluation and application of mechanical properties of such complicated materials and contribute to the improvement of the reliability of machines using them.
