Serpil Kurt Habiboğlu

Serpil Kurt Habiboğlu serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, with her research anchored in experimental and computational mechanics. Her work bridges theoretical modeling with practical engineering solutions across composite materials, structural dynamics, and sustainable transportation systems.

Her research portfolio prominently features Composite Materials development for brake linings using waste tire rubber and fly ash, alongside advanced Structural Dynamics investigations of cracked systems under moving loads. She integrates Finite Element Analysis with experimental validation to address mechanical property optimization and tribological challenges, particularly in automotive applications where sustainability drives innovation in material reuse and energy efficiency.

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on sustainable engineering solutions, with recent work emphasizing recycled material integration in brake systems and computational modeling of structural failures. Her 2025 Polymer Composites paper exemplifies this trajectory, building on earlier crane structure analyses to address contemporary environmental concerns in transportation.
