Tamer Elsayed

Tamer Elsayed is a Professor in the Mechanical Design Department at Helwan University, Egypt, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Engineering. His research spans structural dynamics, vibration analysis, fluid-structure interaction, and mechanical design, with strong applications in oil and gas, desalination, and composite materials.

• Professor, Mechanical Design Department, Helwan University (2021–present)
• Associate Professor (2016–2020), Assistant Professor (2011–2020), same department
• PhD in Engineering, University of Sheffield
• Master’s in Engineering, Helwan University

His research focuses on:

• Modeling lateral vibrations of drill strings in oil fields
• Exact and numerical solutions for continuous systems like beams and plates
• Fluid-structure interaction, especially water hammer effects
• Computational fluid dynamics of hydraulic turbomachinery in desalination plants
• Dynamics of nano-beams and functionally graded materials

Recent publications (2020–2025) show a consistent focus on nonlinear dynamics, vibration control, and structural integrity in mechanical systems. Key themes include rotordynamics, bearing analysis, thermoelastic stresses, and fatigue in polymeric and composite materials. His work integrates analytical methods (e.g., variational iteration) with numerical modeling and experimental validation.

He serves as a reviewer for several high-impact journals:

• International Journal of Mechanical Sciences
• Applied Mathematical Modelling
• Structural Engineering and Mechanics
• International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping
• Scientia Iranica
• Engineering Research Journal

Dr. Elsayed has advised on numerous research projects related to desalination systems, pressure vessels, and energy recovery devices. His collaborations span institutions including the University of Aberdeen. While no formal grants are listed, his extensive publication record suggests active research funding. He is involved in both experimental and computational modeling, often combining transfer matrix methods with finite element analysis.

He is a key contributor to the mechanical design and dynamics of systems in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants, particularly in hydraulic turbochargers and high-pressure pumps.
