Thomas Bieler

Professor Thomas R. Bieler earned a B.A. in Applied Mechanics at University of California at San Diego in 1978 followed by a M.S. in Ceramic Engineering at University of Washington (Seattle) in 1980. He worked for five years at Sandia National Laboratory in Livermore on high rate deformation. He completed his Ph.D. in Materials Science (with a minor in continuum mechanics) at University of California at Davis in 1989, and has been at Michigan State University thereafter. His research focuses on characterization of mesoscale deformation mechanisms and plasticity modeling in titanium based alloys, tin in the context of lead-free solder joints, and high purity niobium used in superconducting particle accelerator cavities. He has spent sabbaticals at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson AFB in 1999, and at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 2006, where he started to do crystal plasticity finite element mesoscale modeling of clusters of grains. Since 2007, his research has increasingly used synchrotron x-ray facilities in addition to electron backscattered diffraction mapping to assess localized deformation phenomena to compare with models. With colleagues, he has published 275 papers, 35 of which have been cited more than 35 times. He was awarded the Distinguished Scientist/Engineer and the Service Award in the Manufacturing and Processing Materials Division of the Mining, Metallurgical and Materials Society in 2013. He was awarded the 2015 John D. and Dortha J. Withrow Teaching Award for the Chemical Engineering and Materials Science Department in the College of Engineering at MSU. He is active in ABET Engineering Accreditation, and is currently chair of the TMS Accreditation committee, and he is an organizer or co-organizer of many recent and future symposia involving heterogeneous deformation related to grain or phase boundaries.

The component examined was a zirconia exhaust gas sensor. The evaluation included a finite element stress analysis, which was correlated with flexure stress data to determine a probability of failure of the component.

This technique is an improvement over existing methods because it does not require a priori knowledge of the variant selection process or the location of prior-beta grain boundaries, and it can transform an arbitrary field of EBSD data containing the variants from many prior-beta grains in a single calculation. It is a general method and therefore can be used to examine texture relationships in materials other than Ti–6Al–4V which undergo a burgers-type phase transformation.
