Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Composite and Reinforced Concrete Beams

Dr Xiaoshan Lin is a Lecturer in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering discipline in the School of Engineering at RMIT University in Australia. Dr Lin received her PhD degree in Civil Engineering from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 2012. Before joining RMIT in 2016, she had been working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at UNSW Canberra, University of Liverpool in the UK and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Dr Lin’s fields of expertise include finite element development for accurate and efficient numerical simulation, high performance reinforced concrete and composite materials, and structural analysis under extreme conditions. As an early-career researcher, Dr Lin has published her research works in more than 40 highly reputed international journals and conferences. Y.X. Zhang is a professor in engineering at Western Sydney University, Sydney, Australia. She has expertise and research experience in multidisciplinary engineering areas with a focus on construction sustainability and infrastructure resilience. In civil engineering, she has been working on the development of green and sustainable construction materials by using industrial by-products, high-performance cementitious composites, and analysis and design of innovative structures. In mechanical and aeronautical engineering, she focuses on composite materials and structures aiming to enhance structural integrity, performance, and safety. She has strong expertise in numerical modeling and analysis. She has published 270+ papers including 140+ papers in top journals in her research areas until July 2021. Prabin Pathak is currently working in WSP Australia as an engineer. He graduated with a Master degree in Civil Engineering from the University of New South Wales in Australia. Mr. Pathak's research interest lies in the structural analysis of high rise concrete structures, steel structures and the use of composite materials in commercial structures. He has also published high quality peer-reviewed journal articles on the finite element analysis of concrete and composite structures under different loading conditions.
