Raşid Ahmed Yıldız is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. His research focuses on advanced manufacturing technologies, materials science, and mechanical behavior of materials under extreme conditions. He leads projects on additive manufacturing processes like laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), explosive forming of metals, and numerical modeling of material deformation. His expertise includes analyzing residual stresses, surface roughness, and mechanical properties of materials such as Inconel 625, 316L stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. He employs finite element methods and numerical simulations to study damage evolution, strain rate effects, and forming processes. Recent work explores the impact of laser parameters, transfer mediums, and explosive types on material behavior. Yıldız has published widely in journals like Materials Today Communications and International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology. His projects include investigations into the mechanical behavior of additively manufactured metals and the modeling of damage in DP600 steel using advanced constitutive models. He currently leads two funded projects focusing on material deformation analysis and static/variable load conditions in metal components.
