معرفی
David Kellermann is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). His research focuses on advanced composite materials, continuum mechanics, and nonlinear finite element analysis, with particular emphasis on orthotropic and hyperelastic material modeling. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of free-edge effects in laminates and fiber kinematics in biological tissues.
Dr. Kellermann teaches courses such as ENGG1300 (Engineering Mechanics), ENGG2400 (Mechanics of Solids), and MECH4320 (Engineering Mechanics 3). His educational innovations, including remote learning strategies, earned him the 2018 VCATE Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence.
His research interests span computational mechanics, buckling analysis, and material characterization. Notable contributions include developing fourth-order tensor methods for anisotropic materials and finite element frameworks for free-edge singularity analysis. He has published extensively in journals like Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids and Composites Part A.
Dr. Kellermann has collaborated on projects involving micropolar modeling of composite interfaces and hyperelastic constitutive laws for biological tissues. His work bridges theory and application, addressing challenges in structural stability and material behavior under extreme conditions.
