Fatigue reliability design and assessment under uncertainty

Another guest at the Dynamics Seminar will be prof. Shun-Peng Zhu from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).

The theme of the meeting will be

Fatigue reliability design and assessment under uncertainty

Below is the Professor’s short bio:

Dr. Shun-Peng Zhu, Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), China. He received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from UESTC in 2011 and was honored as PIF Fellow of Politecnico di Milano, Italy from 2016 to 2018 and a research associate at the University of Maryland, the United States in 2010.

His research which has been published in scholarly journals and edited volumes, over 100 peer-reviewed book chapters, journals, and proceedings papers, explores the aspects: fatigue reliability design; probabilistic Physics of Failure modeling; multi-physics damage modeling and life prediction for engineering components/materials.

He received the Award of Merit of ESIS-TC12 in 2019, Polimi International Fellowship in 2016, 2nd prize of the National Defense Science and Technology Progress Award of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China in 2014, Hiwin Doctoral Dissertation Award in 2012, Best Paper Awards of several international conferences and Elsevier Outstanding Reviewer Awards.

He is an Elsevier Most Cited Chinese researcher in the field of Safety, Risk, Reliability, and Quality since 2018, and serves as guest editor, editorial board member of several international journals, and Springer book series.

Fatigue Crack Growth Analysis — Experiments and Modelling

Next Wednesday (November 18, 2020), at a slightly unusual time: at 15:15 (due to the time difference between Poland and Canada), we invite you to the seminar of Professor Grzegorz Glinka from the University of Waterloo in Canada.

The theme of the meeting will be

Fatigue Crack Growth Analysis — Experiments and Modelling

Biography Summary

Grzegorz (Gregory) Glinka is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo. He specializes in fracture and fatigue of steel structures and mechanical engineering machinery, and has also acted as a United Nations expert. Professor Glinka’s research interests include fracture of materials, fatigue of structures, multiaxial fatigue and creep of engineering materials, computer aided design, FEM-elastic-plastic stress-strain analysis and reliability. He is also interested in weight functions and structural modeling for stress intensity factors. Professor Glinka’s recent research activities include the modelling of fatigue crack growth under random loading and fatigue optimization of welded structures.

He has published over 160 related articles in technical journals and textbooks and also teaches several upper year Mechanical and Mechatronics engineering courses at the university.
