Group Hoefnagels

We use experimental-numerical methods to study the micromechanics of complex deformation, damage, and failure in (innovative) materials and systems.

Making materials durable by unraveling deformation and failure at the microscale

Our research group focuses on experimental-numerical micromechanics to unravel the micromechanical behavior of materials and material systems in order to achieve superieur mechanical performance and durability at the scale of application. This is done in two ways:
