Research summary
AI-generated

Sven E. Gustafson studies how metals like titanium alloys, nickel, and steel deform and fail at the microscopic scale, particularly under fatigue, high temperature, and hydrogen exposure. His work combines high-energy X-ray imaging techniques with computer simulations to observe how stress and deformation vary within and between individual grains of a metal's microstructure. This research aims to better understand and predict material failure in structural metals used in demanding applications.
