Current Research
Currently I am working on developing a numerical tool based on time-domain spectral element method to model acousto-ultrasnoic wave propagation in metallic or composite structures induced by surface-mounted and/or embedded piezoelectric transducers.
This numerical tool, called Piezo-Enabled Spectral Element Analysis (PESEA), can efficiently and accuratly model wave propagation in isotropic as well as layered inhomogeneous media, such as CFRP.
