Biography

Ron Peerlings is working as an Associate Professor in the Materials Technology Institute.

After four years as a PhD student in the same group, he obtained his PhD in March 1999. Title of his thesis was `Enhanced damage modelling for fracture and fatigue'. The project was aimed at developing mathematically consistent Continuum Damage models, which do not suffer from pathological localisation and mesh sensitivity.

From November 1999 until May 2000 he worked together with Prof. Norman Fleck at the Engineering Department of the University of Cambridge on enriched effective relations for heterogeneous elastic materials.

Back in Eindhoven, he is teaching and doing research in the field of mechanics of materials. Current research interests include damage mechanics, homogenisation and numerical modelling of in particular metal forming and fatigue, as well as the mechanical reliability of electronic components and devices.
