Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Structural engineering
  • Geometry

Elyas Ghafoori spends much of his time researching Structural engineering, Composite material, Reinforcement, Carbon fiber reinforced polymer and Beam. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Compressive strength, Corrosion and GLUE. Many of his studies on Composite material involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Finite element method.

His Stress research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bridge and Material properties. His Modulus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ultimate tensile strength, Steel structures, Steel plates and Substrate. The various areas that Elyas Ghafoori examines in his Pre stress study include Linear elasticity, Buckling and Reference beam.

His most cited work include:

  • Fatigue strengthening of damaged metallic beams using prestressed unbonded and bonded CFRP plates (123 citations)
  • Fatigue strengthening of damaged metallic beams using prestressed unbonded and bonded CFRP plates (123 citations)
  • Design criterion for fatigue strengthening of riveted beams in a 120-year-old railway metallic bridge using pre-stressed CFRP plates (103 citations)

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

Elyas Ghafoori mainly investigates Composite material, Structural engineering, Carbon fiber reinforced polymer, Ultimate tensile strength and Shape-memory alloy. Much of his study explores Composite material relationship to Finite element method. His study in Beam, Reinforcement, Girder, Fatigue testing and Fracture mechanics falls under the purview of Structural engineering.

His Ultimate tensile strength research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Thermal expansion, Digital image correlation and Substrate. His research on Shape-memory alloy also deals with topics like

  • Metal most often made with reference to STRIPS,
  • Fatigue limit that connect with fields like Joule heating and Curing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Buckling and Reference beam in addition to Stiffness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Composite material (111.43%)
  • Structural engineering (73.33%)
  • Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (40.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Composite material (111.43%)
  • Shape-memory alloy (30.48%)
  • Paris' law (18.10%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Elyas Ghafoori mainly focuses on Composite material, Shape-memory alloy, Paris' law, Metal and Ultimate tensile strength. His is doing research in Failure mode and effects analysis, Fibre-reinforced plastic, Fatigue loading, Carbon fiber reinforced polymer and Steel plates, both of which are found in Composite material. Elyas Ghafoori combines subjects such as Crack closure, Linear elastic fracture mechanics, Stiffness and Fatigue testing with his study of Fibre-reinforced plastic.

His work deals with themes such as Cohesive zone model, Fracture mechanics, Finite element method and Reduction, which intersect with Carbon fiber reinforced polymer. His studies in Steel plates integrate themes in fields like Steel structures, Corrosion and Substrate. His research combines STRIPS and Metal.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Irreversible cyclic cohesive zone model for prediction of mode I fatigue crack growth in CFRP-strengthened steel plates (3 citations)
  • Irreversible cyclic cohesive zone model for prediction of mode I fatigue crack growth in CFRP-strengthened steel plates (3 citations)
  • Heat Activated SMA-CFRP Composites for Fatigue Strengthening of Cracked Steel Plates (3 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Structural engineering
  • Geometry

His primary scientific interests are in Composite material, Carbon fiber reinforced polymer, Finite element method, Paris' law and Reduction. His is involved in several facets of Composite material study, as is seen by his studies on Cyclic loading, Interfacial shear, Stress, Bonded interface and Plasticity. His study in Carbon fiber reinforced polymer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Welding, Steel plates and Shape-memory alloy.

His Finite element method research integrates issues from Ultimate tensile strength and Fracture mechanics.
