Research Interest

My research group has been focused on fiber reinforced polymer composite materials and composite structures, and on understanding their constitutive behavior and damage/fracture/healing per engineering mechanics principle. Especially, my research encompasses (1) analytical modeling and experimental studies on impact and crashworthiness of composite structures; (2) analytical modeling and experimental testing of fracture and cohesive law of adhesively bonded composite structures; (3) composite piping system including smart composite piping systems for energy storage and transport; (4) construction materials including solid waste recycling, sealant, and cement-asphalt emulsion composite; (5) fiber reinforced polymer composites; (6) manufacturing, testing, and modeling of advanced grid stiffened composite structures and sandwich structures; (7) modeling, testing, and manufacturing (including additive manufacturing) of shape memory polymer (SMP) based biomimetic self-healing composites, including self-healing ceramic; (8) polymeric artificial muscles; (9) polymeric matrix nanocomposites; (10) repair/rehabilitation/reinforcement/replacement/new construction of damaged composite structures, including reinforced concrete structures; (11) stress and failure analysis of particulate-filled composites, including cement concrete and asphalt concrete; (12) thermomechanical constitutive modeling and experimental testing of SMP composites, including one-way, two-way, and multi-shape SMP composites.
