Summary:
Professor Tongxi Yu is the Dean of Fok Ying Tung Graduate School and Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Professor Yu is widely known for his research and teaching into engineering plasticity, impact dynamics and energy absorption; in particular the dynamic plastic response of beams, plates and shells to impact or impulsive loading. His university education began in the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics at Peking University where he graduated as the top student in 1964. He stayed on for graduate studies at Peking University. Following his Ph.D., Tongxi was a post-doc at Brown University for a few months in which he and Paul Symonds wrote a provocative and influential paper on 'Counter-intuitive behavior in elastic-plastic beam dynamics'. His most recent research monograph is entitled Energy Absorption of Structures and Materials. Professor Yu's contributions to the field of Applied Mechanics have brought him international recognition.
