The DGM Expert Committee addresses the mechanical, thermomechanical, and tribological behavior of materials. It focuses on the relationships between processing, microstructure, and properties, as well as on the analysis of stress-induced microstructural changes and the resulting changes in properties.

It provides a forum for scientists from universities, research institutes, and industry to exchange experience, build networks, and discuss, initiate, and support projects.

01 · Technical Focus

Processing, Microstructure, and Properties

Scientific discussion focuses on the relationships between processing, microstructure, and properties of materials. It includes the analysis of stress-induced changes in microstructure and the resulting changes in properties.

Mechanical, thermomechanical, and tribological questions are addressed in this materials-science context.

02 · Topics

Behavior under Stress

Material Behavior

Mechanical Material Behavior

Considering processing, microstructure, and properties together.

Discussion relates the mechanical behavior of materials to the relationships between processing, microstructure, and properties.

Microstructure

Stress-Induced Changes

Microstructural changes and the resulting property changes.

The focus is on analyzing changes in microstructure under stress and the resulting changes in material properties.

Further Perspectives

Thermomechanics and Tribology

Thermomechanical and tribological behavior of materials.

Alongside mechanical behavior, these topics form part of the Expert Committee’s technical scope.

03 · Exchange

A Forum for Projects and Early-Career Scientists

The Expert Committee brings together scientists from universities, research institutes, and industry. The exchange of experience and networking are integral to its work, alongside the discussion, initiation, and support of projects.

Intensive project discussions promote early-career scientists and provide space to address technical questions together.

Material behavior under stress is considered through the relationships between processing, microstructure, and properties. This places both the material conditions and the changes arising under stress at the center of discussion.

The Expert Committee addresses mechanical, thermomechanical, and tribological questions. Stress-induced changes in microstructure and the resulting changes in properties are of particular relevance.

Its technical work combines project discussions with exchange among scientists from universities, research institutes, and industry.
