Research:
Professor Earthman's research activities include studies of broad range of deformation and damage mechanisms in both model and advanced materials. His work also involves the development and use of computer-based techniques for determining the damping characteristics of biomaterials and mechanical biocompatibility, the corrosion behavior of metals exposed to living cells, and the nondestructive characterization of surface defects in situ. He has authored and co-authored more than 100 research publications including two chapters on biomechanics and materials for tissue engineering. He is an inventor on five patents, two international patents, and three pending patents. He has also served as editor for two books in the fields of materials science and biomedical engineering.
