About Me
My main research topic is developing life prediction models for machine elements considering the dominant failure mechanisms, tribological aspects, operation conditions, and material properties. In detail, I'm modeling fatigue and wear as two life-limiting factors for various mechanical structures.
Fields of interest: Fracture Mechanics, Fatigue, Tribology, Structural Integrity, Contact Mechanics, Steels
Modeling Techniques: Physic-based Analytical/Numerical solutions, Probabilistic Life Assessment
