Research
Fatigue and fracture mechanics; development of life prediction software, multiple crack initiation, crack interaction and coalescence, weight function techniques, experimental studies; damage-tolerance performance of laser-welded aluminium joints and laser-welded stringer/skin panels; stress analysis and fatigue endurance of elastomer materials for biomedical applications (e.g., flexible diaphragm and blood sacs in artificial hearts), using the Finite Element Method.
