Tomasz Wierzbicki is a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, specializing in fracture, plasticity, impact dynamics, and battery technologies. His work focuses on understanding the mechanisms of ductile fracture, including the role of strain, stress triaxiality, and Lode dependence. He has developed models for predicting fracture behavior in metals and studied the crushing mechanics of thin-walled structures and metal honeycombs. His research also extends to the mechanical integrity and safety of lithium-ion batteries, including short circuit detection and end-of-life applications. Wierzbicki's contributions span both experimental and numerical studies, with a focus on energy absorption and structural performance under dynamic loading.
