Research Interest

Dr. Mehrabadi received his Ph.D. from Tulane in 1979. His teaching and research interests are multidisciplinary in nature and span the general field of analytical and computational modeling of the mechanical behavior of materials. His special areas of interest include consideration of microstructure in modeling the anisotropic behavior of bulk materials and biological tissues. The effects of porosity and its distribution on the strength of cancellous bone (and other porous materials) is the subject of his most recent publication. In other publications, Dr. Mehrabadi and his co-workers have studied problems in liquid phase sintering, bulk materials handling, and geomechanics. Prior to joining SDSU as the Mechanical Engineering Professor and Chair, he held the position of Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. Dr. Mehrabadi is a Fellow of the ASME and a member of SES, AAM, and ASEE and serves on the Editorial Boards of the Journal Mechanics of Materials and the International Journal of Plasticity.
