Matrix Cracking in Ceramic-Matrix Composites

Dr. Longbiao Li is a lecturer in the College of Civil Aviation at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China. His research focuses on the vibration, fatigue, damage, fracture, reliability, safety, and durability of aircraft and aero engine. In this research area, he is the first author of 172 SCI journal publications (47 JCR Q1), 8 monographs, 3 edited books, 3 textbooks, 3 chapters, 21 Chinese patents, 2 US patents, and more than 20 refereed conference proceedings. He has been involved in different projects related to structural damage, reliability, and airworthiness design for aircraft and aero engines, supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China, Comac Company, and AECC Commercial Aircraft Engine Company.
