Gregory N. Haidemenopoulos has been Professor of Physical Metallurgy and Director of the Laboratory of Materials (LoM) at University of Thessaly, Greece since 1992. His research is concerned with processing-structure-properties in metallic materials, dealing with transformation kinetics in TRIP steels, corrosion-induced hydrogen trapping in aluminum alloys and rolling contact fatigue in rails. More recent research focuses on computational alloy and process simulation with applications in the design of homogenization of extrudable aluminum alloys, the design of medium-Mn steels and the thermomechanical process design of HSLA steels. In addition to teaching and research, Prof. Haidemenopoulos has provided consulting services to industry in the fields of process design, failure analysis, materials selection and corrosion control.
Prof. Haidemenopoulos has supervised several PhD students and has earned the University of Thessaly's Mechanical Engineering Departmental Best Teaching Award for the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2015. He is Member of Editorial Board of The Open Corrosion Journal and International Journal of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, published 10 book chapters, 70 papers in refereed journals, and presented many keynote and invited lectures worldwide. Prof. Haidemenopoulos received his PhD in Metallurgy, MSc in Metallurgy, and MSc in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from MIT.
"The new textbook by Professor Haidemenopoulos serves as a
comprehensive introduction to the physical metallurgy of metals.
The phenomena are described in a conceptional and demonstrative
manner; a link to real materials application is elaborated for many
possible applications. It is especially worth mentioning that the
consequent numerical description of the fundamental design
principles of metals offers the entrance for physics-based
modelling of materials and processes."
—Wolfgang Bleck, RWTH Aachen University, Germany"The book by
Haidemenopolous is an up-to-date book on the physical metallurgy of
metals. It covers the well-known topics of phase transformations
under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions, as well as the
strengthening mechanism and the way it can be used during metal
production or treatment. The last chapter on Alloy Design is a nice
integration of the concepts explained and takes the book from the
level of explaining what is known already to the level of (the
start of) a toolbox to redesign new alloys based on conceptual
thinking."

—Sybrand van der Zwaag, Delft University of Technology,

– aimed at upwardly mobile students studying with a materials
science department, the author cordially invites others to read
this book and categorically states (page 2) that his aim is to help
readers (of other persuasions) to understand the behaviour of
metals subjected to mechanical and/or thermomechanical loads.… [a]
useful well-organised authoritative book. All who are studying
strength of materials as a core subject will also find much in this
book that is directly relevant to their studies." ––Peter C.
