Hassan Ijaz

Hassan Ijaz serves as a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the CEES School of Engineering. He holds a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from École centrale de Nantes, specializing in delamination crack growth in composite laminates under static and fatigue loadings. His research focuses on Damage Mechanics, Failure Analysis, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of composite materials and machining processes. Key areas include interfacial delamination in CFRP/GFRP laminates, homogenization techniques for honeycomb structures, and FEA of chip formation in Aluminum/Magnesium alloys using Johnson-Cook damage criteria.

Educational Background: Doctorate (2009) and MEng (2006) in Mechanical Engineering from École centrale de Nantes.

Research Interests: Extensive work on FE simulation of composite failure, machining parameter optimization, and material behavior under dynamic loading. His studies incorporate advanced FEA software (ABAQUS, CAST3M) and Fortran-based VUMAT/UMAT subroutines for modeling complex material responses.

Publications: Over 39 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures and Journal of Manufacturing Processes. Recent trends emphasize additive manufacturing, cryogenic machining, and micro-scale surface integrity optimization.

Awards: None explicitly listed. Currently accepting PhD students in Mechanical Engineering.

Grants/Labs: Details not provided in text. Focus on academic and industrial collaborations in composite material analysis and machining innovation.
