Presently, I am an undergraduate in the Mat Sci. program here at UIC.
However, I would like to do graduate work at program that incorporates
both Materials Science & Mechanics.

I would greatly appriciate info. on any university in the U.S. that has
such a program or department. I heard that Virginia Tech has such a program
but are there any others in the Midwest or New England area.

Thanks in advance,

Ari G. Caliskan

Ari has hit a weak point in both the mechanics and materials areas - a couple
of us were only discussing this over lunch today. For example while materials
people might simulate texture they won't generally be able to tell you
how it affects teh kinematic/isotropic hardening of a given material.

Dave Embury at McMaster has a strong group in materials & mechanics but he
is unusual (and also in Canada, not USA). We are attempting to concentrate
on this area in our small Materials group in our Engineering dept.

You might look into Professor Paul Dawson's group at Cornell
University.  Professor Dawson and his students have done some
excellent work relating micro-mechanics to bulk properties, including
development of texture during silicon iron rolling and FE simulation
of individual grains in a matrix.

As an industrial sponsor of his work, we're certainly biased, but he
would be an excellent teacher and researcher if you're interested in a
program that leans towards mechanics and FE methods.

I don't have Cornell's address, but most American dictionaries have a
list of American universities and colleges in the back.
