A warm welcome to Dr. Bing Li’s Homepage
Dr. Li’s research expertise and interests are in the broad field of Solid Mechanics and Structural Design, in particular, the structural dynamics and dynamical responses of meta-composite materials. Through the development of analytical methods, exploitation of numerical simulation and verification using experimental testing, Dr. Li’s has been focusing on wave motion, vibration and impact dynamics of advanced composite structures and elastic/mechanical/nanophononic metamaterials. Aim at addressing the challenges of designing passive and active macro-micro-nanoscale metamaterials that affect/manipulate/control wave propagation; and understanding the interaction mechanisms between structural dynamics and microstructures/inhomogeneity, his research work emphasizes impactful results for practical applications in aerospace, structural and defense engineering, especially including elastic wave control, vibration/wave attenuation, structural health monitoring, nondestructive testing and evaluation, thermal conductivity manipulation and energy harvesting, among others.
