Research Program
Actively involved in damage mechanics of composite materials. The broad goal is
to develop analytical models to explain the response of composites under static
and fatigue loads and ultimately to predict the response of potential composite
structures without the need for extensive experimental effort. The analytical
models range from simple closed form analyses to fully three dimensional
nonlinear finite element analyses.
