Rate My Professor Fatemeh Azhari

Azhari's research centers on developing multi-scale computational tools for advanced materials and structures. Her investigations include mechanical testing and multi-scale finite element modelling of pseudo-ductile composites under static and impact loads, CFRP-reinforced steel columns under static and dynamic loads, GFRP composite columns under eccentric compression, dental implants, mid-rise lightweight cold-formed steel buildings under extreme events, ultra-high performance geopolymer concrete for energy infrastructure, and multi-scale crystal plasticity finite element modelling of selective laser melted Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloys. Notable publications are 'Predicting the complete tensile properties of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V by integrating three-dimensional microstructure statistics with a crystal plasticity model' (2022, International Journal of Plasticity), 'Dynamic stability of hybrid fiber/nanocomposite-reinforced toroidal shells subjected to the periodic axial and pressure loadings' (2023, Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures), 'Bending analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates using the refined finite strip method' (2022, Journal of Sandwich Structures and Materials), 'Application of modified couple-stress theory to stability and free vibration analysis of single and multi-layered graphene sheets' (2020, Aerospace Science and Technology), and 'Application of Carrera unified formulation in conjunction with finite strip method in static and stability analysis of functionally graded plates' (2022, Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures). She has earned the Best Research Paper Award from Monash University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in 2018, the Early Career Researcher Best Paper Award at the 5th Australasian Conference on Computational Mechanics in 2021, the 2023 Advancing Women’s Success Grant, the 2023 ECA Seed Program, and a research grant from the Defence Science and Technology Group in 2020.
