Research Interests:
- The investigation of the mechanical properties of hexagonal single crystals and polycrystals and metal matrix composites and nanocomposites including the investigation of thermally activated deformation mechanisms in metals and alloys. The main aim of this study consisted, apart from obtaining many original experimental results, in explaining the fundamental hardening mechanisms in hexagonal metals.
- The investigation of the solid solution hardening in hexagonal and face centred cubic single crystals and polycrystals. The Cd-, Zr-, Mg- and Ag-based alloy systems have been investigated and many original experimental results have been obtained.
- The study of very low temperature unstable deformation.
- The investigation of plastic instabilities and dynamic strain ageing in Zr and Ti polycrystals. Discontinuous stress relaxation has been described. The plastic instabilities were investigated using different experimental methods including acoustic emission.
- The study of thermal stability of polycrystals prepared by means of powder metallurgy and metal matrix composites and nanocomposites using internal friction methods.
- The investigation of deformation processes in ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline materials. Study of microstructure influence on mechanical and physical properties of (nano)composites.
- The study of mechanical and physical properties of magnesium materials prepared by methods of severe plastic deformation.
