معرفی
Richard Wiebe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington. His research focuses on nonlinear structural dynamics of civil, mechanical, and aerospace structures, with applications in extreme environments such as seismic, blast, and high-speed aircraft scenarios. He holds a Ph.D. from Duke University (2012), an M.A.Sc. from the University of Waterloo (2009), and a B.Eng. from Lakehead University (2007), all in Civil Engineering.
His research interests include buckling and stability of slender structures, composite materials, and marine energy systems. Current projects explore nonlinear dynamics of composite structures for hypersonic aircraft, bend-twist coupling in marine turbines, and post-tensioned rocking for earthquake-resistant designs.
Wiebe has been recognized for his contributions, including promotion to Associate Professor in 2019 and leadership in interdisciplinary capstone projects with Boeing. His work bridges experimental and numerical methods to enhance structural efficiency and resilience.
