• Advanced Mechanics for Civil Infrastructure (CE804)
• Structural Analysis and Design (CE305)

• Development of a Lamb wave phased array system using finite element methods
• Simulations of Lamb wave propagations in two- and three-dimensional domains
• Mechanical reliability analysis of electrical circuits under shock and thermal cycling conditions
• Numerical studies on thin-film blisterings in nano-scale
• Failure analysis of building structures under impact and blast loadings
• Method of Finite Spheres

Dr. Hong's interests are in the area of computational mechanics, finite element method, meshless method, material plasticity, biomechanics, and structural health monitoring. He focuses on the numerical simulations of various kinds of phenomena such as PZT induced wave propagation, structural responses under extreme loadings, silicon layer blistering, etc.
