Over the next three years the collaborative team of Drs. Kingstedt, Chang Spear and Berke (USU) will investigate the role of size effects on ductility measurements. Each team member will leverage their expertise in experiments, modeling, microfabrication, and high-temperature experimentation to identify best practices for scaling measurements made on micro-scale thickness specimens to the macroscale.

Congratulations to undergraduate researchers Ronaldo Herrera and Tanner Snow for being selected for the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) for the Fall semester! Ronaldo’s project will focus on investigating de-noising, segmentation and thresholding approaches applied to x-ray tomographs. Tanner will investigate the dynamic behavior of surrogate bone material subjected to drop tower loading with high speed imaging.

The Kingstedt lab was selected for funding by the University of Utah Office of the Vice President for Research to develop new SEM-based grid method techniques for full-field deformation studies. The approach will leverage a JOEL 5910LV SEM recently acquired in collaboration with Dr. Czabaj of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
