Profile
Professor Ghadbeigi obtained his BSc in Manufacturing Engineering and MSc in Mechanical Engineering in Iran, Sharif University of Tech, before joining The University of Sheffield in 2006 where he obtained his PhD in Mechanical Engineering and then became a member of academic staff in 2013.

While working on his PhD project, he was also a member of IMMPETUS as Research Assistant (2006-2010) and was involved in projects on modelling and characterisation of material deformation during thermo-mechanical processing.
 
Prof Ghadbeigi's research interest covers experimental investigation of materials deformation and failure mechanisms during thermo-mechanical loads and manufacturing processes, using experimental methods such as full field deformation characterisation and bespoke experimental design, as well as developing predictive analytical and numerical tools to simulate functional performance of materials and components.

His main research interest covers the effect of manufacturing processes on structural integrity and functional performance of components. His research was supported by collaboratives across the automotive, aerospace and energy sectors as well as cutting tool manufacturers, leading to two awarded patents.
 
Research interests: 
  • Mechanics of material deformation in manufacturing processes
  • Materials deformation and failure analysis, using full field methods
  • Manufacturing processes induced structural integrity in metals and composites
  • Development of predictive tools, numerical, analytical and data driven, for prediction of materials performance during processing and service life
  • Machining and shear cutting systems' performance assessment, including forming and cutting tools
Research interests

Dr Ghadbeigi’s research interests cover a wide range of multidisciplinary topics on mechanics of materials deformation and damage in manufacturing processes such as machining and forming as well as manufacturing induced effects on the structural integrity and functional performance of produced parts.

Mechanics of machining and structural integrity are of his main research themes where Dr Ghadbeigi and his team develop experimental methods and numerical and analytical tools to predict chip formation in engineering materials and associated surface integrity based on the physics of deformation and failure.

Hassan has pioneered application of a range of experimental techniques, such as Digital Image correlation and microgrid techniques, to characterise local deformation and failure mechanisms in materials.

He has been involved in several project linked to manufacturing and machining science in collaboration Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre at the University of Sheffield.

The developed methodologies are already implemented for production of aerospace and automotive components and materials; however, these could be applicable wherein materials experience any mode of deformation as part of their processing history.
