I have authored over 350 publications, including 165+ peer-reviewed journal articles and a book on multiaxial fatigue. My research has earned me a high and recognition in the top . I am the Editor-in-Chief of . I have developed multiaxial fatigue-assessment software and led numerous research projects across Europe and beyond.
About
I joined 㽶Ƶ in September 2024 as a Transforming Lives Fellow (Professor of Structural Integrity). Since 1998, I have focused primarily on the static, dynamic, and fatigue assessment of engineering materials and components. By working in Italy (University of Padova, University of Ferrara, University of Udine), Ireland (Trinity College, Dublin), and the UK (University of Sheffield, 㽶Ƶ), I have developed several novel engineering methods for designing components (experiencing any type of stress concentration) against static, dynamic, and fatigue failures. My approach involves both theoretical and experimental investigations, with all the design methods I have formalised thoroughly validated through systematic experimental work. I have unique expertise in designing notched and welded components to withstand constant and variable amplitude multiaxial fatigue.
My work in these research areas has resulted in a large number of scientific articles and a book on multiaxial fatigue assessment (). My scientific papers have garnered significant interest from the international scientific community, as evidenced by my . Based on that, the research area comparison ranking of worldwide scientists and engineers indicates that I am in the top 2%.
I serve on the editorial boards of several scientific journals, including two leading international journals in the fatigue and fracture field, namely & . I am also the Editor-in-Chief of (published by Elsevier), the top journal in the fracture mechanics field.
I have developed software specifically designed to perform fatigue assessments of plain, notched, and welded components subjected to both constant and variable amplitude uniaxial/multiaxial fatigue loading (Copyright document No. 007849-D007048). Regarding the practical application of his research, especially after the publication of my book, my expertise has been sought by many structural engineering firms across Europe and beyond. These firms have successfully applied my methods to design real-world components and structures.
Since the late 1990s, I have been involved, both as a principal investigator and as a co-investigator, in numerous research projects funded by national public bodies, the European Community, trusts, and private companies.
