Field Theory of Multiscale Plasticity

Tadashi Hasebe is Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Kobe University, Japan and is an expert in a very wide range of engineering fields. More specifically, in metallic materials, including high-temperature strength, impact engineering, plastic forming technology, high-energy rate forming, theory of elasto-plasticity, and micromechanics. Professor Hasebe likes to incorporate experimental, mathematical, and numerical perspectives in his works.
