Adeeb Rahman

Adeeb Rahman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), part of the College of Engineering & Applied Science. He holds a PhD in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1993), an MS in Engineering Mechanics (1985), and a BS in Civil Engineering from UWM (1982). His research focuses on structural mechanics, biomechanics, and computational modeling, with emphasis on steel connections, fiberboard analysis, and hip prosthesis design. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and received a Best Paper Award in 2004 for work on critical thinking in engineering education.

His research interests include finite element analysis of materials under various loading conditions, fire resistance of steel structures, and comparative standards for concrete deflection. He has explored applications ranging from precast concrete hybrid frames to the mechanical behavior of corrugated fiberboard under moisture and adhesive effects.
