معرفی
Jack Wu is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering and Management at the University of Manchester since 2000. His research focuses on advanced composite materials and structural mechanics, particularly in thin-walled structures, FRP composites, and fire engineering applications. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Engineering Mechanics from Hefei University of Technology, a Ph.D. in Composite Mechanics from Shanghai Jiaotong University, and has held postdoctoral and visiting scholar positions at Tsinghua University, Delft University of Technology, and others.
His work addresses challenges in structural strengthening, high strain rate material behavior, and hybrid FRP-concrete systems. Ongoing research explores impact loads on reinforced concrete columns and fire-induced column buckling. He has contributed to over 80 publications and led projects on composite buckling and anisotropic analysis. Wu serves as a Guest Editor for Frontiers in Built Environment and frequently presents at international conferences.
Key contributions include experimental studies on CFRP-strengthened columns and numerical models for composite plates. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to resilient infrastructure and sustainable cities.
