Research summary

AI-generated

Mahavir Singh works in experimental mechanics of materials, using in-situ (real-time, during-loading) mechanical and thermal testing to understand how metals, alloys, and coatings deform and fail. Recent work includes studying strain localization bands in high-temperature alloys like Hastelloy, layered steels, ceramic coatings, and aluminum crystals under repeated loading. This research is relevant to students interested in materials testing, fracture mechanics, and how microstructure affects mechanical performance under stress and heat.
