Dr. Anthony N. Palazotto, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Aerospace Engineering
Research Interests
My research is in the areas of structural dynamics, shell structures, fatigue, fracture mechanics, and high energy impact. I am presently working on problems including wear at high velocity; micro air vehicle dynamics, creep of crystal structures under fatigue loading and high temperature; impact of composite plates;strucural health monitoring, and thermal stress analysis. Each problem has both experimental and numerical considerations. The work extends from the theoretical to the applied. Dr. Palazotto has obtained more than $4.5 million dollars in research funding.
