Yao Chen

Yao Chen works in engineering with a focus on how metals and alloys behave under repeated stress, especially fatigue (the way materials crack and fail after many loading cycles). The research spans testing and predicting the lifespan of welded and specialty alloys (such as titanium, aluminum-lithium, magnesium, and high-entropy alloys), along with related work on materials processing, structural mechanics, and computational modeling.

Publication activity has grown over the past decade, rising from about 10 per year in 2017 to a peak around 2022 and remaining high (roughly 25 per year on average over the last five years).
