Biography:
Dr Orifici is responsible for teaching activities in the field of aerospace structures and design, and his research involves the design and analysis of aerospace structures with a focus on fibre-reinforced composite materials. His current research work includes composite damage modelling, postbuckling aircraft structures, multi-axial material characterisation and composite aircraft repair. Dr Orifici has significant experience in advanced nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis across a wide range of software packages including MSC.Patran/Nastran, Abaqus Standard/Explicit and MSC.Marc. Dr Orifici has worked on implementing user-defined behaviour into FE packages using custom subroutines, and in developing in-house software tools for design and certification of aerospace structures. He is responsible for the supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate students, and has over 50 publications in the field of aerospace structures and composite materials that can be found at Google Scholar and RMIT Research Repository.
