Profile
Dr Yang Liu joined Leicester as Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering on Feb 2024. Before Leicester, he was a postdoc in Imperial College London working on fatigue, creep-fatigue and hydrogen-related problems in aero and nuclear industries. His works fall in between the field of material science and engineering, focusing on developing computational models which integrate micro-mechanical experiments, aiming to explore the science and mechanistics behind the industrial problems.
Research
My research interests focus on crystallite materials and their microstructure-sentive strength, fatigue and creep fatigue as aero and nuclear components, such as 'cold dwell fatigue' (CDF) and 'delayed hydride cracking' (DHC). Multi-physics and micromechanical modelings are used to understand material behaviours at microstructure scale and across different time and lengthscales, comparing to micromechanical experiments. Long term goal is establishing microstructure-processing-performance relationship for material design, processing, and manufacturing.
