Peter B. Nagy is Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Cincinnati, where he joined as Associate Professor in 1994 and was promoted to Professor in 2000. Since 2006, he has also served as Visiting Professor at the UK Research Centre in Nondestructive Evaluation at Imperial College London. His research focuses on ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and thermoelectric materials characterization with applications in nondestructive evaluation and residual stress profiling.
Dr. Nagy specializes in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, particularly ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and thermoelectric methods for materials characterization. His work has significant applications in aerospace engineering, power generation, and manufacturing industries. He has developed innovative approaches for residual stress profiling, fatigue damage assessment, and corrosion monitoring using advanced electromagnetic and ultrasonic techniques. His research has led to practical applications in turbine blade inspection, weld integrity assessment, and monitoring of structural components in power plants.
Dr. Nagy's publication record demonstrates a strong focus on advancing nondestructive evaluation methodologies, with particular emphasis on electromagnetic techniques like eddy current testing, Hall effect measurements, and potential drop methods, as well as ultrasonic approaches including guided wave tomography. His recent work shows increasing application of these techniques to additive manufacturing quality control, structural health monitoring systems, and advanced materials characterization for aerospace applications.
