Research

Dr. Gilat's main research interests are in the area of plasticity, specifically, in developing experimental techniques for testing materials over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures and in investigating constitutive relations for viscoplasticity. The thrust of his research is on developing correlation between observed material response on the continuum scale and the actual deformation process on the microscopic scale. An experiment in which materials are deformed at strain rates of the order of 102-104 s-1and temperatures of up to 1000°C, and an experiment for testing thin layers of solder are two examples of recent developments. Dr. Gilat's research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and Ford Motor Company.
