Charles Vincent Tomonto is a Professor of Practice in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering within the College of Engineering at the University of Miami. His academic role integrates practical engineering expertise with advanced research in metallic additive manufacturing processes.
Dr. Tomonto's research centers on microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloys. Key investigations include martensite fragmentation mechanisms, fatigue life prediction under complex stress conditions, and microstructure-property relationships influenced by laser processing parameters and thermal treatments. His work bridges fundamental materials science with industrial application requirements for aerospace and medical components.
His 2023 publications demonstrate a cohesive research trajectory examining how process-induced defects and thermal histories govern mechanical performance in laser powder bed fusion. Studies reveal critical relationships between scan speed parameters and martensite fragmentation, innovative adaptations of the Theory of Critical Distances for fatigue prediction with multiple stress concentrators, and performance comparisons between bimodal versus lamellar microstructures after cyclic heat treatments.
