Siegfried SchmauderSiegfried Schmauder is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Stuttgart, Germany. His research focuses on microstructure mechanics, multiscale modeling, additive manufacturing, material and component testing, material development and opimization, as well as component reliability and design. He applies experimental and numerical investigation techniques to steels, light alloys, fiber composite materials on a metal and polymer basis, metal/ceramic composite materials, hard metals and coatings. The investigative focus is on microstructure modeling and nanosimulation with a view to examining the correlation between material structure and material properties as well as shedding light on the phenomena that occur at grid level that are important in terms of elastic and place material and damage response.
