Dr. Jidong Kang, P.Eng., I.W.E.
Current research and/or projects
Biography:
I am a research scientist at CanmetMATERIALS (CMAT), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I have extensive research experience in both experimental studies and modeling in mechanical behavior of structural materials, physical metallurgy and welding mechanics for a wide range of engineering materials.
Research and/or project statements
Current Research Projects:
- Quantitative microstructure-mechanical property relationship and constitutive modeling in materials and joints (e.g. resistance spot welds and self-piercing rivets).
- Structural integrity of pipe steels (e.g. stress corrosion cracking and fracture mechanics).
- Advanced materials characterization techniques (e.g. digital image correlation and X-ray computed tomography).
