Related Courses Composites, Nano Mechanics, Structure of Materials, FEM

Skills Proficient in ABAQUS, Matlab, Solidworks, ANSYS

Academic Projects

• Manufactured SiC-based ceramics with the reinforcements of CNTs and TaC by Spark Plasma

Sintering technique, and investigated the running parameters on the microstructural

development and mechanical properties of the sintered samples.

• Performed oxidation tests ceramics using TGA, and characterized the oxidation mechanism of

TaC additives on CNTs/SiC ceramics with SEM, XRD and Raman.

• Carried out dynamic impact on composite materials (carbon/epoxy, glass/epoxy, and ceramics)

with Spilt Hopkinson Pressure Bar, and combined the failure modes into VUMAT with

ABAQUS to model the failure of composite materials under high strain rates.

• Modified ASME-C1421 standard to perform the dynamic fracture toughness tests on ceramics.

• Site visited central air-conditioner manufacturing plant, performed the stamping test of plate-

fin structure using hydro pressure machine, and created modeling with ABAOUS to simulate

the thermal deformation and stress distribution during brazing, 2007-2010.

• Two months internship in brazing the copper based plate-fin structure for central air-

conditioners in 2009.

• Teaching assistant for the courses of Solidworks, 2010-2012.
