Farhang Pourboghrat
Professor and Chair, Integrated Systems Engineering
Professor, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
pourboghrat.2@osu.edu
Dr. Pourboghrat’s research interests are in the areas of materials processing, including warm forming of sheet metals and tube hydroforming, with emphasis on metal forming simulations using crystal plasticity and advanced phenomenological yield functions. His current research involves characterization and modeling of aluminum alloys, niobium, tin, third-generation advanced high strength steel (3GAHSS), in addition to polymer composites reinforced with glass, bio-fibers, carbon, clay nanotube, and graphene nano-platelets. His research has been funded by NSF, Alcoa, GM, Honda, Eaton, BAE Systems, Faurecia, DOE, and DOD.
