Hamed Yazdani Nezhad
Lecturer
Composite Engineering
Cranfield University
United Kingdom
Biography
Hamed received his PhD in mechanical engineering on a collaborative project between the University of Limerick, Imperial College London and Helmholtz-Zentrüm Berlin, titled ""Effect of prior deformation on creep behaviour of AISI 316H austenitic stainless steels"" funded by Science Foundation Ireland and EDF (formerly British Energy Ltd.). He worked at the Irish Centre for Composites Research as lecturer in Finite Element Analysis and Aircraft Structures, and as a post-doctoral researcher on three consecutive industrial-oriented projects on composites materials, MAAXIMUS project funded through EU FP7 grant agreement nº213371 led by Airbus (www.maaximus.eu), Design of Optimised Composites for Impact Applications (OPTCOM) project funded by Enterprise Ireland (grant CF/2013/3012B), and the Science Foundation Ireland funded FALCOM project (www.falcom.ie) on a novel adhesively bonded joining technology.
Research Interest
Hemed's research interests are: Non-destructive testing, Polymer composite repair, Creep fracture and fatigue in metals and composites, Processing of high toughness composites, and Finite element damage modelling.
