| Richard Gangloff | | Professor, Materials Science and Engineering | | Ph.D., Lehigh University | | | | Dr. Gangloff has served on the faculty since 1986. From 1987 through 2001, he directed the NASA-UVA Light Aerospace Alloy Structures Technology Program. He has consulted for 30 governmental and industrial laboratories, advised 25 graduate students, and authored 85 invited lectures and 85 publications. He received the Henry Marion Howe Medal from the American Society for Materials, an Award of Merit from the ASTM, and was the 1996 Fatigue Lecturer within ASTM. He was elected a Fellow of 2 societies, ASM International and ASTM. He chaired the ASTM national committee on subcritical cracking, edited 5 international conference proceedings, and chaired the 1994 Gordon Conference on Physical Metallurgy. His additional professional affiliations include The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society, Sigma Xi, and Tau Beta Pi. Previously, he worked for 12 years as a metallurgist at Exxon's Corporate Research Science Laboratories in Clinton, NJ and at General Electric's Corporate Research and Development Center in Schenectady, NY. | | | | Research Interests | | Richard Gangloff's research centers on the metallurgy, micromechanics, and chemistry of metal fatigue and fracture, especially time-dependent damage mechanisms is alloys used in high performance structures. He seeks to develop new cracking resistant materials and establish the foundation for life-prediction approaches to mitigate fracture problems. Current research focuses on hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, elevated-temperature fracture, and experimental fracture mechanics of iron, nickel, titanium, and aluminum alloys. This work has impacted metals used in nuclear, aerospace, marine, and petro-chemical technologies. | | |
