I aim to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical applications. My research findings are applied to real-world scenarios through collaborations with industry partners or through the development of practical solutions for vibration-related challenges.
Viscoelastic materials exhibit both viscous and elastic properties. They deform under stress like elastic materials but also exhibit time-dependent behavior, dissipating energy like viscous materials.
Viscoelastic materials are employed in biomedical applications such as soft tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and prosthetics. Their unique properties make them suitable for mimicking biological tissues and enhancing the performance of medical devices.
Composites are simply a combination of two or more constituent materials with different physical or chemical properties.
Under ideal conditions, the resultant properties of the composite are:
- High strength/weight ratio.
- Impact resistant.
- Chemical/environmental stability.
Tribology is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, wear, and lubrication.
it has been known that surfaces colliding and sliding against each other causes damage to the components. This damage may be imperceptible at first but can eventually lead to mechanical failure. Tribology is the science of why this damage occurs and how mechanical engineers can mitigate it.
