Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on the mechanics of composite materials, particularly fiber-reinforced polymer composites used in engineering applications like aircraft structures. Recent work focuses on how these materials behave under tension, how they shrink or distort during manufacturing due to viscoelastic (time-dependent, rubbery/elastic) properties, and how to properly measure their mechanical properties. Earlier work also touched on aerodynamics of small aircraft propeller designs.
