Douglas J. Bammann , PHD - 2007
Dr. Bammann’s work spans the spectrum from basic research involving the development of physics based material models to the implementation of these models into finite element codes and their utilization in the solution of complex structural analyses. His work in the early 1980’s on connecting dislocations to a yield surface led to the first formalized internal state variable plasticity theory that could be used in a finite element code, which was applied to many weapons applications. He has recently proposed a consistent thermodynamic framework for the inclusion of geometric defects into plasticity theories via manifold theory.
