The Gemeinsame Wissenschaftskonferenz GWK decided on July 2, 2021 to fund the NFDI-MatWerk consortia. It followed the recommendation of the expert panel and the German Research Foundation DFG. Prof. Erik Bitzek is Co-Spokesperson of NFDI-MatWerk and in charge for the Task Area Materials Data Infr...

Beyond hardness and elastic modulus: Alternative uses of nanoindentation Dr. Paul Baral (UC Louvain) (Nano)indentation has been investigated for more than 50 years to the extent that a tremendous amount of work has been dedicated to quantitatively extract the mechanical properties of small mater...

A new publication entitled “Understanding creep of a single-crystalline Co-Al-W-Ta superalloy by studying the deformation mechanism, segregation tendency and stacking fault energy” was recently published in Acta Materialia. This nice collaboration of various project partners of the SFB/TR103 and the...

The colloquium aims to provide a platform to discuss recent advances in computational modeling of fracture at various length and time scales. The event will take place from April 22 to July 22, 2021, and will comprise a series of weekly invited talks by international experts tackling the aforemen...

Die Gemeinsame Wissenschaftskonferenz (GWK) der Bundesländer hat der FAU Mittel für die Einrichtung eines Nationalen Zentrums für Hochleistungsrechnen (NHR @ FAU) zugesichert. Bereits im nächsten Jahr werden fast 9 Millionen Euro in einen neuen Parallelcomputer investiert. Über die Projektdauer von ...
