... organized by Sir Nevill Francis Mott. He then spent a year in India, helping to organize the new National Metallurgical Laboratory in Jamshedpur, a laboratory officially unveiled in 1950 by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

... He launched with his collaborators several new fields of research, most notably the micromechanisms of fracture -- a spectacular development known as "micro­ fractography" thanks to a new tool, the electron ­ icroscope -- m and the study of crystallographic textures in steels, mainly used for the control of deep drawing of metallic sheets. In parallel to those studies, he conducted personal work in the theoretical description of thermal activation as a nucleation process, the atomic structure of dislocations, the ­ heology of r creep, properties of point defects, and the yield point (elastic limit)

... His wealth of activities as a research scientist and manager justifies the many distinctions with which he was honored in France and abroad: several French medals and awards, fellowship in the American Society for Metals, and election as a foreign associate of the US National Academy of Engineering. Charles Crussard made a strong and lasting impact on metal­ lurgical research, in fundamental fields as well as applied and industrial domains.
