■ RESEARCH INTERDISCIPLINARITY / INNOVATION

ECA’s broad research background and international collaborations have led to several world-wide recognized

interdisciplinary contributions in the mechanics and physics of materials and structures. His work – combining

fundamental theory, mathematical modeling, numerical simulations and experiments – has found numerous applications

in various disciplines across engineering sciences and departments, including mining and civil, materials and

mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering. This wide spectrum of research activity is partly due to a multifaceted

education (first Diploma in mining and metallurgy/NTU-Athens; PhD in mechanics – chemical engineering and

materials science/U of Minnesota), as well as to multiple academic posts (first in the Dept of Theoretical and Applied

Mechanics/U of Illinois-Urbana; later in the Dept of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science/U of Minnesota and

the Dept of Mechanical Engineering – Engineering Mechanics/Michigan Tech; and, finally, in the Dept of Civil

Engineering/Aristotle Univ of Thessaloniki). The areas that his theories and models have been applied vary from

traditional (flow/diffusion through deformable fissured rocks; damage/failure of geomaterials, asphalts and concrete;

deformation and fracture of metals, polymers and composites) to emerging ones (nanopolycrystals and metallic glasses;

MEMS/NEMS and optoelectronic films; biomaterials and tissues/bone-collagen-soft tissues-cells).

He revised and brought ideas of van der Waals (non-monotone equations of state and higher-order density gradients)

and Maxwell (diffusive drag and higher-order temperature gradients), as well as of Landau (order parameter and non-

convex free energy) and Prigogine (non-equilibrium thermodynamics and self-organization) into the mechanics of

materials and structures within a multiscale/multiphysics setting. This allowed for the development of new approaches

to address unresolved issues (spatio-temporal pattern formation, interpretation of size effects, elimination of stress/strain

singularities) in this field. The topics/terms of “double diffusivity” and “double porosity”, “stress-assisted diffusion”,

“material instabilities”, “dislocation patterning”, “chemomechanics”, and “nanomechanics” were first introduced/quoted

and dealt with in his publications. He pioneered the approach of “gradient plasticity” by providing a method to calculate

shear band widths and spacings, and eliminate the mesh-size dependence of finite element calculations in the strain

softening regime. He simplified and popularized the approach of “gradient elasticity” by providing the first non-singular

solutions for dislocation lines and crack tips. These results, which become increasingly important as the

specimen/component dimensions reduce down to micron and nano levels, can now be checked against laboratory and

numerical tests which are possible with advanced experimental probes and powerful computers. Variants of his gradient

theories in elasticity, plasticity and damage are extensively used today for interpreting size effects across the scale

spectrum, as well as for fitting experimental data on the mechanical behavior of micro/nano-objects (micro/nanopillars,

nanobeams, nanotubes).

More recently, he enriched the aforementioned gradient models with randomness effects, in order to assess the

competition between deterministic gradients and stochastic terms due to internal stress fluctuations. He was among the

first to introduce the techniques of bifurcation, stability and self-organization into the field of material mechanics and

continues along these lines by introducing new tools recently developed in the field of nonlinear and statistical physics.

As examples, reference is made to his recent articles on non-extensive thermodynamics and Tsallis q-statistics, as well

as on fractional calculus and fractal media for characterizing deformation, damage and failure of nanocrystalline (NC)

and ultrafine grain (UFG) materials, as well as bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). Most recently, he has considered gradient

8

multiphysics couplings (gradient thermo-chemo-mechanics and opto-electro-mechanics) for these novel “structural”

materials and extended his work to encompass “energetic” materials, including “defect-free” nanolayers for next

generation light emitting diodes (LEDs) and “strain relief” nanostructured electrodes for rechargeable Li-ion batteries

(LiBs). He is also exploring the applicability of these techniques for addressing the mechano-chemo-electrical response

of neural cells/neurons.

The above research activity was carried out in collaboration with former students and postdocs, as well as senior

scientists in the US, Europe, Russia and China. Co-authors include profound mathematicians (Jim Serrin/Minnesota,

James Hill/Australia, Vasily Tarasov/Moscow), mechanicians (Gerard Maugin/Paris, Rene de Borst/Glasgow-Delft,

Hans Muhlhaus/Germany), physicists (Daniel Walgraef/Brussels, Alexey Romanov/St. Petersburg, Jeff de Hosson/The

Netherlands), and materials scientists (Bill Gerberich/Minnesota, Ladislas Kubin/France, Yuri Estrin/Australia). A

number of leading material mechanics contributors in academia have been his students (Doug Bammann/Mississippi,

Hussein Zbib/Washington, Ioannis Chasiotis/Urbana) or postdocs (Harm Askes/Sheffield, Mike Zaiser/Edinburgh-

Erlangen, Alexey Romanov/St. Petersburg, Chongqing Ru/Alberta, Michail Gutkin/St. Petersburg).

In the last five years major funding of ~ 3 million Euros has been awarded to his Lab through the European Research

Council (ERC) and the Greek General Secretariat of Research and Technology (GSRT) to establish an International

Research Center on “Materials and Processes across Scales and Disciplines” at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki

(AUT), even though this effort is currently facing difficulties due to local financial constraints imposed on the country.

Nevertheless, nonlocal interactions with US (Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of

Arizona), China (State Key Lab of Nonlinear Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing University of

Civil Engineering and Architecture), Russia (International Lab of Modern Functional Materials at ITMO University, St.

Petersburg), are successfully carried out, in addition to former collaborations with EU Laboratories.

■ RESEARCH MILESTONES / IMPACT

In the late 1970’s – while at the Dept of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Univ of Illinois at Urbana – ECA

started with his students the effort of bringing into the field of solid mechanics ideas from diffusion theory, chemical

reactions, and nonlinear physics. They developed “stress-assisted diffusion” theories with applications to hydrogen

embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking, “double diffusivity and 2-temperature” theories for modeling simultaneous

transport in the bulk and grain boundaries of polycrystals, as well as “double porosity” theories for modeling fluid flow

in undeformable and deformable fractured rocks with applications to consolidation and subsidence. This initial work on

internal mass transport motivated the concept of viewing a stressed solid at the macroscale as an active medium whose

deformation is governed by the production/annihilation and transport of defect populations (dislocations, disclinations),

which interact with the defect-free material regions according to the laws of microscopic physics. His robust and

inspiring models of gradient dislocation dynamics and gradient plasticity that became quite popular later on, were

essentially based on the above idea.

In the early 1980’s (jointly with Jim Serrin), while at the University of Minnesota, he revisited Maxwell’s equal area

rule and van der Waals theory of fluid interfaces within a strictly mechanical framework by incorporating higher order

density gradients in the non-monotonous constitutive expression for the interfacial stress tensor. Among the results were

the relocation of Maxwell’s line (i.e. the establishment of non-universality of Maxwell’s rule for liquid-vapor

transitions) and the derivation of transition, reversal and periodic solutions for fluid/solid microstructures. This work

motivated, in part, a number of articles in applied mathematics (Coleman, Gurtin, Slemrod, Truskinovski and others) in

the area of non-convex free energy and continuum phase transitions.

In the mid 1980’s (jointly with Daniel Walgraef), while at Michigan Tech, he developed the first generation models to

interpret self-organization of dislocations and deformation patterning. The Walgraef-Aifantis (W-A) model was the first

to predict widths and spacings of the layered dislocation structure of the persistent slip bands observed in fatigued

crystals as discussed, for example, in Chapter 6 of the Nobel Laureate’s Ilya Prigogine’s book “Exploring Complexity”,

9

Freeman, New York (1989). This work inspired a steady stream of follow-up efforts on dislocation patterning, including

recent papers on discrete and density-based dislocation dynamics simulations (e.g. Kubin, Ghoniem, Zbib, Groma, El-

Azab, Zaiser, Ngan and others). Most notably, the W-A model has recently been used by leading

geophysicists/geomechanics researchers to interpret crack patterns in granular materials (A. Ord and B. Hobbs, Fracture

pattern formation in frictional, cohesive, granular material, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 368, 95-118, 2010 [One contribution

of 17 to a Theme Issue “Patterns in our Planet: Applications of Multi-scale Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics to Earth-

system Science”] ).

In the mid and late 1980’s, while at Michigan Tech, he proposed the first gradient plasticity model to predict the

thickness of shear bands and eliminate the mesh-size dependence of finite element (FE) calculations in the strain

softening regime. This was used in FE codes developed by de Borst, Tomita and others to solve large-scale engineering

problems for which classical plasticity did not work. Other gradient plasticity models, such as those proposed by

Fleck/Hutchinson, Nix/Gao/Huang and co-workers, were developed later in the mid - and late – nineties, and a large

number of distinguished researchers (Fleck/Willis, Anand/Gurtin, Geers/Peerlings, Estrin/Sluys,Voyiadjis, Polizzotto,

Forest to mention a few) made seminal contributions in this area for interpreting size effects and other phenomena at the

micron scale.

In the early and mid 1990’s – in collaboration with his experimental colleagues at Michigan Tech (Walter Milligan and

Steve Hackney) – he directed a project on nanostructured materials and “coined” the term “nanomechanics” as he did

earlier with “dislocation patterning” and “material instabilities”. They identified, theoretically and experimentally, the

critical grain size regime where plasticity transition occurs from grain rotation/sliding in the absence of dislocation

activity to intragranular avalanche-like dislocation motion. This mechanism has also been numerically confirmed by

molecular dynamics (MD) simulations later performed by Swygenhoven’s group at PSI-Switzerland. For bulk ultrafine

and nanograin materials they discovered another plasticity transition mechanism controlled by “multiple” or “massive”

shear banding without any hardening, not observed for the conventional grain size counterparts of these materials which

are always strain-hardened. These micro/nanoplasticity mechanisms are now routinely observed in nanocrystalline (NC)

and ultrafine grain (UFG) materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD), as well as in bulk metallic glasses

(BMGs).

Since 2000, while at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, he continued with students and postdocs by employing his

earlier work on gradient elasticity and plasticity to address some key-unresolved issues in mechanics. They expanded on

dislocation and crack non-singular solutions (previously derived with his co-workers Altan, Gutkin, Ru et al) by

deriving new robust and easy-to-use expressions for the local microscopic stresses and strains on the basis of his simple

gradient elasticity (GradEla) model – a topic which has recently become popular in Greece (Vardoulakis, Beskos,

Exadaktylos, Georgiadis, Aravas, Giannakopoulos) and elsewhere (EU, US, China), since Mindlin’s original but

complex work which remained dormant for 30 years. Work also focused on dislocations/disclinations and

cracks/interfaces, as well as nanomaterials including nanotubes and nanomembranes. Gradient multi-element defect

kinetics were used to capture mechanical behavior at the nanoscale and obtain stability and defect patterning results for

thin films and small volumes. Wavelet analysis and neural networks were used for bridging the length scale spectrum.

Main senior collaborators in this area included A. Romanov / I. Ovid’ko (St. Petersburg, Russia) on defect theory; A.

Carpinteri / N. Pugno (Torino, Italy) on fractals and size effects; S. Forest (Ecole des Mines, France) and P. Steinmann

(Univ of Erlangen, Germany) on gradient plasticity; H. Askes (Univ of Sheffield) and M. Lazar (Tech Univ of

Darmstadt)/G. Maugin (Univ of Paris VI) on gradient elasticity; M. Zaiser (Univ of Edinburgh/Erlangen-Nürnberg) on

stochastic dynamics/avalanches and random plasticity; I. Groma (Eotvos Univ Hungary) on discrete dislocation

dynamics, and I. Vardoulakis (NTU-Athens, Greece) on soil mechanics and granular media.

Since 2005, with his students and postdocs, he used variants of his earlier gradient elasticity and plasticity models to

interpret the deformation/fracture behavior and size effects observed during microtensile, microbending and

micro/nanoindentation tests. The results compared very well with corresponding molecular dynamics (MD) and discrete

dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations for such micro/nano-objects (MEMS/NEMS, micro/nanobeams,

micro/nanoplates). They provided support of Nobel Laureate’s Richard Smalley (American Scientist 85, 324, 1997)

10

quotation “The Laws of Continuum Mechanics are amazingly robust for treating even intrinsically discrete objects only

a few atoms in diameter” by replacing “Continuum Mechanics” with “Gradient Continuum Mechanics”.

Since 2008 his Lab activities were expanded to consider advanced energy materials/components, such as light emitting

diodes (with A. Romanov) and Li-ion batteries/LiBs (with K.E. Aifantis). This became possible through a Marie-Curie

Senior Fellowship (A. Romanov) on Nanomechanics of Defects in Solids with applications to thin films, nanoparticles,

nanocrystals and biomaterials and an ERC-Starting Grant (K.E. Aifantis) on Probing the Micro-Nano

Transition/MINATRAN, respectively. The major equipment that was purchased to conduct nanoindentation (NI) and

atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies for the above projects, was also used to initiate research on polymeric and

hydrophobic/hydrophilic materials for monument protection/cultural heritage preservation, as well as for novel

mechano-electro-chemical studies on neural cells.

Since 2012 collaborations have been extended to include fractional derivatives and fractal media (jointly with V.

Tarasov at Moscow State University), zonal disintegration in deep underground tunnels (jointly with C. Qi at Beijing

University of Civil Engineering and Architecture) and, most recently, neuromechanics and medical imaging (jointly

with neurologists at AUT and Karolinska – work in progress). It is noted, in particular, that his gradient theory of

pattern formation at micro/nano scales for engineering (non-living) materials with structural defects brings out

remarkable similarities with Murray’s theory of morphogenesis (extending the celebrated Turing model to include bio-

stress effects) for living systems. In fact, Aifantis’s gradient elasticity model for deforming solids under externally

applied stress is exactly the same with a corresponding equation used by Murray (the father of modern mathematical

biology) to model the internal stress arising from cell-extracellular matrix interactions developed during the “crawling”

of cells in the surrounding tissue. Moreover, the Walgraef-Aifantis equations (W-A model) for the immobile-mobile

dislocations are identical in form with the Go or Grow equations (G-o-G model) for the immotile-motile cancer cells in

glioblastomas.

Since 2017 his collaboration with Russian colleagues has been renewed through his appointment as Foreign Lead

Scientist/Director of the International Laboratory on “Fabrication and Study of Advanced Functional Materials with

Extremely High Density of Defects”. The Laboratory is funded by the Ministry of Sciences and Education of the

Russian Federation with an annual contribution of ~ 500,000 Euros for an initial period of 3 years. The research focuses

on processing, characterization and modeling of five-fold symmetry microcrystals and nanowhiskers, obtained through

electrodeposition under mechanical steering. These micro/nanno objects contain a very high density of metastable

structural defects (dislocations, twins, disclinations) and they also possess an unusually extended external surface. The

combination of internal stress and large surface energy makes these novel “far from equilibrium” metallic structures

with pentagonal symmetry (decahedra, icosahedra) and their composites ideal for advanced mechanochemistry

applications: filters, water purification agents and nano/micro catalysts with superior properties over their conventional

counterparts.
