Project description

The objective of this project is to fundamentally study the mechanisms involved in making SCC robust. At first instance, the project focuses on a study of the fundamental background and physics governing the sensitivity of a SCC to mix variations. Parallel to the study of the fundamental mechanisms, this project also aims to find new and alternative materials enhancing robustness.
