Dr. Luca Susmel is a Professor of Structural Integrity (Transforming Lives Fellow) at Sheffield Hallam University.
He works with the static, dynamic, and fatigue assessment of engineering materials and structures, with a focus on notched, welded, and 3D-printed components.
He has developed several novel engineering methods for designing components (experiencing any type of stress
concentration) against static, dynamic, and fatigue failures.
His approach involves both theoretical and experimental investigations, with all the design methods formalised thoroughly validated through systematic experimental work.
He has unique expertise in designing notched and welded components to withstand constant and variable
amplitude multiaxial fatigue.
He has authored over 350 publications, including 165+ peer-reviewed journal articles and a book on multiaxial fatigue.
