The lab seeks a fundamental understanding of how objects break under impact.
AboutAbout the lab
Research on breaking things safely
The Uenishi Lab studies how solid materials break under impact.
The lab aims to understand the basic physical phenomenon of objects breaking under impact from a more fundamental standpoint.
The research covers not only fracture in homogeneous materials, but also how waves and cracks propagate through heterogeneous materials that contain interfaces, and the effects that impact-induced fracture has on Earth and space environments.
Together with research institutions in Japan and abroad, the lab uses high-speed digital video cameras and other equipment to film and analyze phenomena that are too fast to see with the naked eye.
Key terms
- Crack
- A fissure that forms inside a material. When force is applied, it spreads from its tip and becomes the origin of the material's failure.
- Interface
- The boundary surface where two materials with different properties are in contact.
- Heterogeneous
- Having material properties or composition that vary from place to place. The opposite of homogeneous.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the dynamic behavior of solid materials, in particular fracture caused by impact, as a fundamental physical phenomenon. In addition to dynamic fracture of homogeneous materials, it investigates how waves and cracks propagate through heterogeneous materials, and the effects that impact-induced fracture has on Earth and space environments.
