معرفی
Yun-Bo Yi is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Denver’s Ritchie School of Engineering & Computer Science. His research focuses on thermomechanical instabilities, friction materials, and advanced simulation techniques such as molecular dynamics and finite element analysis. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan.
Key research areas include the development of metal-free friction materials (e.g., 3C-SiC composites), thermal management in automotive systems (clutches, brakes), and predictive modeling of material behavior under thermal and mechanical loads. His work addresses challenges like wear dynamics, anisotropic material properties, and thermal buckling in mechanical components.
Recent studies emphasize computational approaches to simulate transient thermomechanical behavior, with applications in automotive engineering and composite material design. While no specific awards are listed, his extensive publication record reflects significant contributions to these fields.
Yi collaborates on projects involving KIHA Innovation Labs and other university facilities, advancing interdisciplinary engineering solutions. His teaching and advising likely focus on mechanical systems, thermal dynamics, and computational modeling.
