Scholar-generated biography
David Kammer is a researcher at ETH Zurich specializing in friction, fracture, and solid mechanics. His work focuses on computational mechanics and the mechanics of materials, with an emphasis on understanding the behavior of frictional interfaces and fracture processes. Kammer's research includes the application of linear elastic fracture mechanics to predict frictional slip propagation and the development of models for brittle fracture and dynamic rupture fronts. His studies also explore the mechanical properties of biological materials, such as collagen fibrils, influenced by cross-linking agents. Additionally, he investigates earthquake dynamics, including energy dissipation and rupture termination mechanisms in laboratory-generated earthquakes.
