| Biography: | Dr. Solanki’s research expertise is in the area of computational modeling of material behavior and associated transport phenomenon at the nano-, micro- and macroscales for engineering design under uncertainty. He has submitted and published over 25 articles in international journals. His paper entitled “Finite element analysis of plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure: an overview” published in Engineering Fracture Mechanics is one of the highly cited papers from year 2002 to 2006.
Since becoming a CAVS faculty member, he has led several projects related to multiscale theories describing material behaviors in application to manufacturing processes and to developing advanced transport equations describing hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion and other coupled phenomena. Some of his funding sources are the Department of Energy (DOE), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Department of Defense (DOD). In the year 2008, he was recipient of the SAE Henry O. Fuch Award for his work on fatigue and fracture mechanics.
