Redmer van Tijum

Dr. ir. Redmer van Tijum is an external researcher at the University of Groningen within the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Advanced Production Engineering group. His expertise lies in the mechanics and interfaces of metallic and polymer systems, combining experimental characterisation with crystal-plasticity-based modelling.

Research Interests:

• Multiscale mechanics of steels, especially AISI 420 stainless steel
• Metal–polymer interface adhesion and delamination
• Crystal plasticity simulations and representative volume element modelling
• Laser-induced delamination techniques for adhesion quantification
• In-situ optical and microscopy methods for strain analysis

His publication record spans from 2006 to 2025, revealing two distinct phases: foundational work on polymer-metal laminate adhesion and delamination (2006-2007) and recent high-impact studies on carbide effects and yield stress modelling in advanced high-strength steels (2024-2025). These works collectively advance understanding of interface reliability and structural integrity under plastic deformation.
