Personal profile
Dr Yang is an associate professor in geotechnical engineering. He received his PhD from the University of Oklahoma. He has a wide range of research interests. One of them is to develop elastoplastic constitutive models for soil under various loading conditions. He studies the principal stress rotation by using the hollow cylinder apparatus and double simple shear testing system. He employs the finite element method and discrete element method to study soil behaviour and soil-structure interactions under diverse loading conditions, such as earthquake, wave, tunnelling and traffic loadings. He is also interested in bulk solid behaviour in silos.
Dr Yang has published more than 30 SCI indexed articles, mostly as the first and corresponding authors. He was awarded many research grants at municipal, provincial and national levels. He supervised 6 PhD students to completion as the principal supervisor. Their dissertation titles and areas of study are given below.
