LI, Shuguang, Professor of Aerospace Composites, is a part of the Institute for Aerospace Technology, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham, UK. He was awarded BEng and MEng from NUAA in 1982 and 1984, respectively. His first academic career was at NUAA between 1984 and 1988 as a lecturer. He then obtained his PhD from University of Manchester in 1993. He returned back to his academic track as a lecturer at the University of Manchester in 1995. He was appointed to his present position in June 2012.
Professor Li was on the advisory board of the 2nd World Wide Failure Exercise for polymer composites (on 3D failure theories). He is one of the organisers of the 3rd Exercise of the same (on damage theories). The outcomes are being published in Journal of Composite Materials.
Professor Li is on the editorial board of International Journal of Mechanical Sciences. He is a visiting professor of NUAA and Zhejiang University. He has published over 150 academic papers, more than half of them in high impact international journals. His main research interest is in the area of analysis of composite materials and structures, in particular, on subjects of damage, failure, micromechanics and characterisation in recent years.As an outcome of his research on micromechanics of composites, a piece of software called UnitCells© has been commercialised which offers material scientists and structural designers a useful tool for the characterisation of composites in terms of effective elastic properties as well as strength properties.
Professor Li has also a longstanding interest in nonlinear finite element analysis and structural buckling.
