Taleff Research Group: Home Page

Welcome

Welcome to the Taleff Research Group's home page. This is a the place to find information about the Taleff Research Group. Included on these pages are items of general interest to students, scientists, and engineers associated with the group. These pages, along with the pages found in the link back to Prof. Taleff's home page, should give anyone not familiar with the group a general idea of the group's activities. The information published on this web site is by no means a complete description of the group's work. The best way to find details on the group's work is to read the relevant publications in the open literature and to contact members of the group directly. These pages are updated irregularly, so don't expect all the information to be completely up to date.

Background

The Taleff Research Group is organized under Associate Professor Eric M. Taleff in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. The group's research work is primarily concerned with the processing, microstructures, and mechanical properties of structural materials. Materials in which the group is particularly interested include:

• Light alloys, including alumuminum and magnesium
• Ultrahigh-carbon steels
• Heat resistant metals and metallic alloys
• Refractory metals
• Superplastic ceramics
• Laminated composites
• Metal-matrix composites

• Superplasticity
• Creep
• Deformation mechanisms
• Relationships between processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties
