Bio/Research
Sachse's research interests involve around ultrasonic waves and materials and specifically, non-destructive materials testing applications. His laboratory developed both active and passive ultrasonic techniques for characterizing flaws and defects in materials, characterizing dynamic fracture processes and measuring applied and residual stresses in metals. They also developed and studied the generation of ultrasound via lasers, sparks and X-rays. His research group pioneered the development and application of point-source/point-receiver ultrasonic measurements for the characterization of anisotropic and heterogeneous materials. Recent interests have focused on novel air-coupled ultrasonic measurements of powders and acoustic microscopy measurements of bio-materials. Twenty years ago working with Igor Grabec, he developed measurement systems which incorporate intelligent processing capabilities, similar to those possessed by living beings, to solve diverse measurement and control problems. A monograph describing this work (co-authored with I. Grabec) is titled Synergetics of Measurement, Prediction and Control and was published by Springer-Verlag in 1997.
