Personal profile
Biography
Expertise summary
One of my research interests is elastoplastic constitutive modeling of soil stress-strain responses. I also study numerical integration schemes of soil models. The numerically integrated models are employed within the framework of the finite element method to study behaviors of various geotechnical engineering applications such as tunnelling, traffic loading, earthquake and wave loading.
While I was a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, I studied behaviors of granular solid flow in silos using the finite element method with large displacement and the discrete element method. I also worked closely with the industry through a project funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering.
Another research interest is to experimentally study soil behavior by using the double directional simple shear system and the hollow cylinder apparatus. The principal stress rotation in soil is studied by using these testing facilities. DEM is also used to assist the study.
As the principal investigator, I was awarded a few important research grants including the RAE grant, NSFC grants, municipal natural science grant and international cooperation grant. As a co-investigator, I participated in the Key Project of Chinese National Programs for Fundamental Research and Development (973 Program).
