Professor at Imperial College London
Ferri Aliabadi has worked in the field of Solids and Structures and has established an international reputation for his achievements related to Fracture & Damage Mechanics. During the last decade, he has pursued research and development in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for composite airframe in collaboration with the aeronautics industry (Airbus, Leonardo) supported by significant EU funding. He has been PI and coordinator of several Cleansky EU projects including SMASH and SCOPE and coordinated the SHM platform for the wing in SARISTU project. The latest project is cleansky II, core-partnership SHERLOC which he is the PI and coordinator with the aim of developing the next generation of smart (highly sensorised) composite airframe.
Ferri Aliabadi has published 450 papers in leading international journals and 62 books related to Experimental and Computational Methods in Solids and Structures. He has been the editor in chief of 6 international journals and is editor in chief of international journal of Multiscale Modelling and Experimental and Computational Methods in Solids and Structures book series. He is also on editorial board of 8 other international journals. Prof. Aliabadi has been recipient of several awards including a Distinguished Achievement Medal.
Head of Department of Aeronautics, Imperial College (2009-2017). Prior to joining Imperial College in 2005, he was Professor of Computational Mechanics, Director of Research and the Director of Aerospace Engineering at Queen Mary, University of London (1997-2004) and Reader and Head of Damage Tolerance Division at WIT, Southampton (1987-1997), Ben Franklin Scholar, PA, USA (1986), Research Fellow, Aero and Astro, Southampton University (1984-86)
A new maintenance concept combining structural health monitoring and smart repair technologies with a probabilistic design philosophy is introduced to reduce the operational costs.
