MARC ANDRÉ MEYERS

RESUMÉ 2021

 

 

  1. Scientific and Technological Accomplishments

Professor Meyers’ major impact in materials science has been on the mechanical behavior, with focused long-term efforts in the dynamic behavior of materials, including dynamic synthesis and processing; deformation of nanocrystalline materials; and biological materials.

Dynamic behavior of materials comprises deformation, fracture, fragmentation, shear localization, chemical reactions under extreme conditions and processing (combustion synthesis; shock compaction; explosive welding and fabrication; shock and shear synthesis). The underlying unifying theme is the high rate at which events occur.  He initiated this work in 1972 and dedicated forty-four uninterrupted years of research to this field. He made important strides to unify the field, by emphasizing the basic physical and chemical processes that the different phenomena have in common. Indeed, he has defined the field through his now classic book, Dynamic Behavior of Materials (1994, ~3,900 citations, google scholar), which is used globally and was translated in Chinese.

In recognition for his seminal contributions to shock compression, he was selected as the 2017 recipient of the Duvall Award of APS, a major recognition which is given every two years for fundamental contributions to shock compression science.

               Approximately 50 Ph.D.’s and numerous M. Sc. degrees have been granted under his supervision, and more than ten Post-Doctoral researchers have worked with him, leading to ~500 papers, an ISI H index of 77 (93 in google scholar), and ~26,000 ISI citations (45,000 google scholar).

His work has been highlighted in National Geographic, and profiled on the Discovery Channel, Nova, and in the Modern Marvels program on History Channel (Sharp Objects). It also appeared in the New York Times, Economist, Spiegel, and Washington Post.

 

2.      Key Contributions and Their Impact

               His most recognized scientific and technological contributions are highlighted below:

 

a)       Understanding of Shock-induced Mechanical, Physical, and Chemical Effects

Understanding has been critical for development of hydrocodes incorporating relevant deformation mechanisms and phase changes necessary for design of systems in Department of Energy and Department of Defense applications.

·         He proposed that the shock front in polycrystalline aggregates showed irregularities in position and pressure due to elastic and plastic anisotropy. He quantified these predictions and this has subsequently verified.

·         Postulated a model for plastic deformation at the shock front based on modified Smith interface in order to account for generation of dislocations and without the need for supersonic dislocations.

·         Mechanism for solid-liquid reactions in shock-induced chemistry similar to the mechanism operating in intense shear and combustion synthesis was modeled analytically.

·         An experimental method for the establishment of the kinetics and nucleation time for martensite. Using reflected stress waves, Meyers and his students were able to establish the kinetics of athermal martensitic transformations. This technique was extended to ultrashort times and the nucleation time was established (20-50 ns).

·         He proposed a constitutive description of the slip-twinning transition; this transition is of utmost importance in the modeling of shock response of metals.

·         Innovative use of high-power pulsed lasers has enabled accessing extreme regimes of pressure and strain rate no revealed new phenomena in materials, the most important being amorphization in boron carbide, silicon carbide, silicon, and germanium. These transformations have an important bearing on ballistic performance.

 

 

(b)   Dynamic Failure of Materials; Shear Banding and Spall effects – Has provided key insight into mechanisms of dynamic failure of materials critical for design of weapons systems

·          Dynamic recrystallization at high strain rates, This concept, initially received with considerable skepticism, has been recognized by the community as a significant contribution.  It has important bearing on shear localization in metals and resistance to penetration.

·         Experimental and analytical investigation of the self-organization of shear bands in metals, ceramics, and granular media, has been reviewed in books and stimulated investigations in China, Europe, and Israel.

·         Proposed model for formation of annealing twins in metals, which is widely cited in the literature.  Key researchers have carried out experiments and analyses to document evidence for this so-called "pop-out" mechanism.

 

(c)  Materials Processing – Shock Compaction and Strengthening, and Combustion Reaction Synthesis – Has provided the fundamental mechanisms of processes that are key to the design of techniques and approaches for materials fabrication

·         He developed a new method for the densification of combustion synthesis products involving a high-speed forging process which enables ceramics to be deformed while still hot from the exothermic reaction. This method is being used in China.

·         He developed novel explosive techniques for compacting hard powders (metals, ceramics, and intermetallics).

 

(d) Nanolevel Mechanical Properties: Ultrafine and Nanocrystalline metals—Has conducted the first experiments demonstrating biocompatibility of UFG titanium; clinical trials in progress.

·         He proposed a mechanism for the growth of voids preceding tensile failure using a new type of dislocation shear. It is interesting to notice that, although voids have been studied at great length, their growth by dislocations had not heretofore been explained.

·         Conducted the first experiments demonstrating that ultrafine grained titanium can be used in dental implants. Experiments done on rabbits in 2008 have been subsequently applied to humans. Clinical trials in progress.

·         A mechanism for effect of grain size on yield stress of metals was extended to the nanocrystalline domain and predicts the decrease in the HP slope in the nanocrystalline domain. .

 

(e) Understanding of mechanical behavior of biological materials---Unraveling of hierarchical structures of natural materials and their correlation with different functionalities will help create and design new materials for customized and multifunctional applications

·         His work on biological materials, of a pioneering nature, has involved highly developed experimental and characterization capabilities, to yield significant new information that is indeed enriching biology and expanding the frontiers of materials science and engineering.

·         The discoveries made by his group on abalone shell, toucan beak, crab exoskeletons, fish scales, seahorse tails, turtle shells, feathers, and other natural materials are revealing the hierarchy of their structure in a manner not heretofore investigated, and are inspiring new design principles to synthetic materials. These discoveries have received broad coverage in the media.

 

               These accomplishments were enabled by his global network of collaborators, which is presented in Figure 2.

  1. Contribution to Education

Throughout his professional career, Marc Meyers has been involved in education as a teacher, author of books, and innovator. In addition to his university classes, he taught a class at the Institute for Metal Research, China, and several Short Courses for the community at large. He is the co-author of Mechanical Behavior of Materials (Prentice Hall, 1999; second edition CUP, 2009, third edition under preparation;  3,400 google scholar citations), with K. K. Chawla, which is being used as a senior and graduate text at a number of universities (Over 10,000 copies sold); the book was translated into Chinese and was released in 2017. The first edition was sold out.

He is also the co-author (with K. Chawla) of Mechanical Metallurgy (Prentice Hall, 1984) and its predecessor, ‘Principios de Metalurgia Mecanica’, (Blucher, 1982), also translated into Chinese.

In 2014, he published Biological Materials Science (CUP, 2014, with P. Y. Chen). This book is being highly successful and is being translated into Chinese.  

He co-organized and co-chaired four International Mechanics and Materials Summer Schools, funded by the Institute for Mechanics and Materials, an NSF venture intended at bringing together, in a synergistic fashion, these two communities. This resulted in the co-editing of the book Mechanics and Materials: Fundamentals and Linkages, (with R. W. Armstrong and H. O. K. Kirchner, J. Wiley).  This book contains chapters by the foremost mechanics and materials authorities (J. Rice, R. Ritchie, A. Argon, J. Weertman, J. Gilman, J. Willis, J. Knott, and others) and the summer schools educated students globally.

In the realm of extreme materials response, Marc Meyers authored, as mentioned above,  Dynamic Behavior of Materials (Wiley, 1994; 3,900 google citations). This book was translated into Chinese ands is considered a classic in the field.

At New Mexico Tech, he organized and hosted the conference series Frontiers in Materials Technologies, which was offered to the scientific community of New Mexico (LANL, SNL, Kirtland AFB). The resulting book co-edited with O. Inal (Prentice Hall, 1985), has chapters from global leaders (G. Olson, N. Grant, M. Cohen, A. Kelly, J. Gilman, A. Heuer, G. Thomas, A. Heeger, and others).

The EXPLOMET conference series, which he co-founded with L. E. Murr, led to the publication of five Explomet conference proceedings published by major publishers (Plenum, Elsevier). One of the proceedings was translated into Russian.

 

 

  1. Leadership and Service to Community

In the area of leadership and service to the community at large, Marc Meyers has had a long involvement. He has been active in professional societies in the US, Europe, and Brazil. His primary society is TMS and he has chaired several committees (Met. Trans. A and Biomaterials) and organized over ten symposia, primarily in dynamic behavior of materials and biomaterials. Indeed, he launched these two symposia series and they are now firmly entrenched in the TMS programming. He has also been involved with APS, MRS, and ASM.

Upon receiving his doctorate, he took a position of Associate Professor and Researcher at the Military Institute of Engineering, Brazil, and set up the first laboratory for shock waves in Latin America.  His long association with New Mexico Tech led to the founding of the EXPLOMET conference series (in 1980) and of the Center for Explosives Technology Research, of which he was Associate Director. This center attracted researchers from the entire globe and provided a fertile environment for both industrially oriented and fundamental research. He served for two years in the Army Research Office and oversaw the research activities in the mechanical behavior of materials. In this position, he organized a symposium bringing together all the ARO grantees and Army scientists working on dynamic behavior of materials.  At UCSD has was successively Associate Director and Director of the Institute for Mechanics and Materials and in this capacity was involved in the organization of numerous symposia and workshops.

He co-founded and co-chaired the Pan American Materials Conferences (2010, 2014, and 2017) and is working towards the establishment of a Federation of American Materials Societies.

Upon invitation by Elsevier, he chaired the Sixth International Conference on Mechanics Biomaterials and Tissues (2015). He was the co-chair of the seventh conference of the series (2017).

He has served and serves in important committees, such as the National Academies US Army Research Laboratory Technical Advisory Committee and the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute.  He created, with L. E. Murr, the John Rinehart Award to recognize excellence in the field of dynamic behavior of materials. This award, given at the EXPLOMET conferences, was later transferred to the European DYMAT Association and is a global recognition given every three years, at the occasion of their main meeting. This is an important accolade, with past recipients from Europe, Asia, and the US.

From  2014 to 2017, he led an expedition through the Brazilian Amazon to celebrate the heroic feat of the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition on its centennial. The team used the same means of transportation and followed the same trajectory, motoring up the Paraguay River,  traversing the Parecis Plateau on mules and by foot and descending the Roosevelt River by canoe and kayak. As a result of this feat, he has lectured extensively including the New York Explorers Club, of which he was elected  a Fellow National.
