Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Composite material
Mathematical analysis
Stress

His primary areas of investigation include Fracture mechanics, Crack tip opening displacement, Fissure, Stress intensity factor and Crack closure. In his study, Finite element simulation is strongly linked to Fracture, which falls under the umbrella field of Fracture mechanics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Crack tip opening displacement, Creep are connected with Deformation, Grain boundary and Stress relaxation and other disciplines.

His Fissure study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Singularity, Mathematical analysis and Finite element method, Strain energy release rate. His work deals with themes such as Geometry, Pointwise and Domain, which intersect with Finite element method. C. F. Shih works mostly in the field of Stress intensity factor, limiting it down to topics relating to Crack growth resistance curve and, in certain cases, Levy–Mises equations and Stress concentration.

His most cited work include:

Energy release rate along a three-dimensional crack front in a thermally stressed body (628 citations)
A general treatment of crack tip contour integrals (331 citations)
Continuum and micromechanics treatment of constraint in fracture (142 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Fracture mechanics, Fissure, Composite material, Crack tip opening displacement and Stress intensity factor. His Fracture mechanics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Creep, Stress relaxation and Fracture. His research in Fissure intersects with topics in Plane stress, Finite element method, Singularity, Mathematical analysis and Surface integral.

In general Finite element method, his work in Mixed finite element method is often linked to Volume linking many areas of study. His study in the field of Volume integral, Multiple integral and Line integral also crosses realms of Expression and Domain. His work in the fields of Rotational symmetry overlaps with other areas such as Field.

He most often published in these fields:

Fracture mechanics (50.00%)
Fissure (43.75%)
Composite material (37.50%)
