Research Areas
Dr. Chen's research activities mainly involve the development of novel dynamic material characterization techniques and the determination of dynamic responses of engineering materials at high loading rates. He built dynamic material characterization laboratories at California Institute of Technology, University of Arizona, and Purdue University. He also assisted the development of such laboratories at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM and Livermore, CA; Army Research Laboratory in Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; U.S. Army Waterway Experiment Station in Vicksburg, MS; National Institute of Standard and Technology in Gaithersburg MD; and a number of university and industrial laboratories. The techniques he developed are focused on ensuring valid testing conditions during dynamic experiments to obtain accurate material properties at high rates of loading. These techniques, summarized in over 15 journal articles, have been well accepted in the research community. Two of top five, four of top ten "most cited papers of Experimental Mechanics" are from Dr. Chen's group.
Using the novel techniques, Dr. Chen and his students have obtained accurate and reliable material behavior at high rates for soft rubbers, glassy polymers, polymeric foams, gelatins, glass/epoxy composites, soy-bean based clay nanocomposites, biological tissues (muscles, skins, bones), shape memory alloys, high-strength steels, geomaterial, masonry materials, textile materials, and armor ceramics. For each class of the materials under dynamic tension, compression, or multiaxial compression, at various temperatures, his group examined the valid dynamic testing conditions to obtain valid experimental results. Microstructural characterization was carried on some of the materials. Based on the experimental results and microstructural observations, material constitutive models were developed to describe the recorded material behavior. Over forty journal articles have been published based on the results from these research programs.
The research accomplishments demonstrate that Dr. Chen has established himself with unique contributions in the field of experimental solid mechanics. He has developed an independent and well funded research program investigating the dynamic mechanical behavior of materials and the necessary experimental techniques, and has established a national and international reputation in his field.
