Professor
Odette and his research team focus on the integration of various
fracture theories, specifically for judging the reliability of
steels used in nuclear reactors. The issues that they address
include microstructural and micromechanical evolution and mechanical
property changes in strcutural alloys serving in nuclear and other
hostile environments, alloys with improved radiation damage resistance,
macromechanics and micromechanics of fracture in structural alloys,
and the mechanical properties of high performance brittle matrix
composites. Professor Odette completed his undergraduate work
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Intitute and his graduate work (in the
field of Nuclear Engineering) at MIT before joining the College
of Engineering at UCSB.
