joined the German Aerospace Establishment in Kön before moving to GKSS-Forschungszentrum in Geesthacht as Head of the fracture group
in 1979. Since 1982 Professor Schwalbe has been Director of the Institute of Materials Research at GKSS-Forschungszentrum, Professor
at Ruhr University, Bochum and at Technical University, Hamburg. His research work centers around standardization of fracture mechanics
testing; structural analysis; micromechanics of multiphase materials; behaviour of mismatched welded joints; stress corrosion cracking;
creep crack growth. Professor Schwalbe is also Chairman of several fracture committees. |
