Zherui Guo's research focuses on how materials and biological tissues respond to high-speed impacts and dynamic loading, such as projectiles striking ceramic armor, metal plates, or bone. This work combines high-speed X-ray imaging and mechanical testing to understand fracture, damage, and failure mechanisms in materials ranging from engineered ceramics and metals to biological structures like bone, enamel, and muscle. The research has applications in protective armor design, impact-resistant material development, and understanding biomechanical fracture behavior.
