Arthur Turner

Arthur L. Turner was a materials scientist at Dominion Engineering, Inc. who earned his doctorate at the California Institute of Technology for research examining how stress and temperature affect the velocity of dislocations in pure iron single crystals — foundational work in understanding how metals deform at the atomic scale. He earned his Hertz Fellowship in 1964 and completed his graduate training at Caltech, where his dissertation contributed to the field of dislocation mechanics, a subject central to materials design and structural engineering. Turner was associated with Dominion Engineering, Inc.
