    Research Interests:

    • Numerical and Analytical Fracture Mechanics
    • Fatigue and Fracture of Welded Structures
    • Failure Assessment Methods
    • Finite Element Applications
    • Advanced Design Methods for Pressure Vessels and Piping

    Research

    Solid mechanics, linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics, finite element method, fatigue and fracture analyses of engineering materials and structures, structural integrity assessment methods, material characterization and numerical simulation of metal forming process.

    Application

    Fatigue and fracture assessment of engineering components in pressure vessel, offshore and aerospace industries.  The research enables laboratory testing to better predict the fatigue and fracture properties of actual full-scale engineering structures.  Development of advanced manufacturing process for metal forming industries.
