Resilience and Sustainability in Civil, Mechanical, Aerospace and Manufacturing Engineering Systems
About the Book Series
Mohammad Noori is an Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and a Visiting Professor at the University of Leeds, UK where he is a founding director of Intelligent and Resilient Infrastructure Center. Noori is a Fellow and Life Member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, has been a Fellow of the Japanese Society for Promotion of Science and has held distinguished visiting professorships at several universities in Europe and Asia. His work in modelling the complex hysteretic behavior of structural systems, including pinching phenomenon, widely cited in the literature as the Bouc-Wen-Baber-Noori (BWBN) model. It has been used in nonlinear random vibrations, for seismic response analysis of concrete structures and other applications, and has been incorporated in OpenSees seismic analysis program and ABAQUS finite element software. His work in non-zero mean, non-Gaussian response analysis of hysteretic systems in random vibrations are also original contributions. He has also carried out pioneering work in seismic isolation using shape memory alloys and holds 2 US patents in that area. Noori has carried out one of the earliest work in the application of AI based methods and wavelet transform for structural health monitoring since late 1990’s. He has authored over 300 refereed papers, 7 scientific books, 32 book chapters and has edited 25 scientific books and special journal volumes. Noori has supervised over 100 graduate students and post-doc scholars and has presented over 100 keynotes, plenaries, and invited talks. He is the founding Executive Editor of an international journal, has served on the editorial boards or as the associate editor of over 12 other journals and is the founding editor of three scientific collections by CRC/Taylor and Francis, De Gruyter and Momentum Press publishers, and has served on numerous international scientific and advisory boards. Noori directed the Sensors Program at the NSF in 2014. He served as the dean of engineering at Cal Poly, as the Higgins professor and head of ME Dept. at WPI and as the Reynolds Professor and head of MAE Dept. at NC State University. Noori also served as the Chair of the national committee of mechanical engineering department heads, and was one of 6 co-founders of the National Institute of Aerospace, representing 6 highly ranked universities, in partnership with NASA Langley Research Center in 2002. Nori is an elected member of several national scientific honor societies and has received several awards in recognition of his research and teaching. Noori had the honor of being invited by President Clinton’s Special Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, as a national expert, to present a Testimony.
