Current Research Summary:

My research involves coordinated analytical and experimental studies related to the effects of the welding procedures on the residual stresses of heavy build-up steel columns. My ultimate goal is to develop a reliability-based framework to evaluate the crack initiation in heavy build-up assemblies.
