Research summary
AI-generated

Yangyang Zhao's research focuses on materials engineering topics such as welding and joining processes, metal fatigue, high-entropy alloys, and the microstructure and mechanical behavior of steels, magnesium, and aluminum alloys. Work spans experimental testing (fatigue, friction, corrosion) and computational approaches (finite element modeling, machine learning) applied to manufacturing processes like resistance spot welding, hot stamping, and additive manufacturing. This research area would suit students interested in metallurgy, mechanical properties of engineering materials, and welding/joining technology.
