Hamid Nayeb Hashemi, PHD - 2003
Professor Hamid Nayeb-Hashemi's career in the last twenty-five years has yielded significant contributions in several areas. He has contributed seminal work on Mode III crack propagation, thereby providing critical insights to multi-axial fatigue. He also developed a methodology for predicting fatigue life of anisotropic materials under multi-axial loadings, where he identified key fatigue damage parameters. In the area of non-destructive evaluation, he developed ultrasonic techniques to evaluate the effect of adhesive flaws on the strength of bonded joints. His identification of an important NDE parameter was instrumental in the success of his techniques for damage evaluation in composite structures subjected to combined fatigue and impact loads. Other strong contributions were made in anisotropic constitutive modeling, the effect of Mode II loading on Mode I crack growth and the dynamic response of flawed adhesive joints.
