Professor Luca Susmel Dott-Ing, Ing, PhD
Professor of Structural Integrity, Transforming Lives Fellow
Summary
I am Luca Susmel, and since 2024, I have been a Professor of Structural Integrity (Transforming Lives Fellow) at Sheffield Hallam University. My expertise lies in the static, dynamic, and fatigue assessment of engineering materials and structures, with a focus on notched, welded, and 3D-printed components. I have authored over 350 publications, including 165+ peer-reviewed journal articles and a book on multiaxial fatigue. My research has earned me a high h-index and recognition in the top 2% of scientists worldwide. I am the Editor-in-Chief of Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics. I have developed multiaxial fatigue-assessment software and led numerous research projects across Europe and beyond.
About
I joined Sheffield Hallam University in September 2024 as a Transforming Lives Fellow (Professor of Structural Integrity). Since 1998, I have focused primarily on the static, dynamic, and fatigue assessment of engineering materials and components. By working in Italy (University of Padova, University of Ferrara, University of Udine), Ireland (Trinity College, Dublin), and the UK (University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University), I have developed several novel engineering methods for designing components (experiencing any type of stress concentration) against static, dynamic, and fatigue failures. My approach involves both theoretical and experimental investigations, with all the design methods I have formalised thoroughly validated through systematic experimental work. I have unique expertise in designing notched and welded components to withstand constant and variable amplitude multiaxial fatigue.
My work in these research areas has resulted in a large number of scientific articles and a book on multiaxial fatigue assessment (Susmel, L., Multiaxial Notch Fatigue: From Nominal to Local Stress-Strain Quantities, Woodhead & CRC, Cambridge, UK, ISBN: 1 84569 582 8, March 2009). My scientific papers have garnered significant interest from the international scientific community, as evidenced by my Google h-index and total citation count. Based on that, the Clarivate Analytics/Elsevier/University of Stanford research area comparison ranking of worldwide scientists and engineers indicates that I am in the top 2%.
I serve on the editorial boards of several scientific journals, including two leading international journals in the fatigue and fracture field, namely International Journal of Fatigue and Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures. I am also the Editor-in-Chief of Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics (published by Elsevier), the top journal in the fracture mechanics field.
I have developed software specifically designed to perform fatigue assessments of plain, notched, and welded components subjected to both constant and variable amplitude uniaxial/multiaxial fatigue loading (Copyright document No. 007849-D007048). Regarding the practical application of his research, especially after the publication of my book, my expertise has been sought by many structural engineering firms across Europe and beyond. These firms have successfully applied my methods to design real-world components and structures.
Since the late 1990s, I have been involved, both as a principal investigator and as a co-investigator, in numerous research projects funded by national public bodies, the European Community, trusts, and private companies.
