Yuanxin Zhou
Yuanxin Zhou has been a leading researcher in composite fabrication, characterization and modeling for 20 years. He combined the Monte Carlo method and micromechanics approach to simulate the random failure process of composites. He developed experimental methods to evaluate fatigue strength distribution of fiber by using fiber bundles test. His research in nanocomposites has made significant contributions to understand processing-structureproperty relationships of multifunctional composites. Zhou has published more than 80 refereed journal papers and worked as PI and co-PI on a total of $2.9 millions worth of research programs for different governments and industries. Ph.D. (2000), University of Science and Technology of China.
