Reinhard Pippan

Reinhard Pippan is currently freelancing at the Erich Schmid Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on mechanical properties of metals, alloys, and composites through plastic deformation, fatigue and fracture, and micro- and nanomechanics. His aim is to improve the basic understanding of the relations between the mechanical behavior, the deformation processes, the fracture processes, and the micro- and nanostructure of the material.
