معرفی
Dr. Garrison Hommer is a Research Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Colorado School of Mines. He manages the Advanced Manufacturing Teaching Lab and Mechanical Testing Labs within the Shared Instrumentation Facility (SIF). His research focuses on mechanical testing of traditional and additive alloys, including hydrogen embrittlement, fatigue analysis, and digital image correlation (DIC). He holds a BS from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and a PhD from Colorado School of Mines (2018), with prior industry experience in mechanical design and quality engineering.
Research interests span additive manufacturing (e.g., laser powder bed fusion), materials science (e.g., titanium and magnesium alloys), and fatigue mechanisms. He is affiliated with the Alliance for the Development of Additive Processing Technologies (ADAPT) and the Data-Driven Advanced Manufacturing and Mechanics Lab.
His publications emphasize advancements in alloy performance, testing methodologies, and computational modeling. Notable contributions include work on dwell fatigue crack initiation and sulfur-based etching for titanium alloys.
