Yongming Liu Translator & Author

Yongming Liu, Ph.D., is Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Arizona State University, USA. He is also a Founding Director of the Center for Complex System Safety, a state-supported multi-university initiative advancing safety science across materials, structures, and complex engineering systems. He received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Vanderbilt University, focusing on stochastic multiaxial fatigue and fracture modeling. Dr. Liu's research lies at the intersection of fatigue and fracture mechanics, uncertainty quantification, and data-driven modeling, emphasizing unified frameworks that integrate physics-based approaches with probabilistic methods and artificial intelligence techniques. His work spans aerospace systems, civil infrastructure, energy systems, and air transportation safety, focusing on reliability, safety, and lifecycle performance under uncertainty. Dr. Liu is an ASME Fellow and Fellow of the Prognostics and Health Management Society. He has authored more than 200 journal publications and several book chapters, and his work continues to advance the integration of physics-based modeling and data-driven approaches for next-generation fatigue reliability and risk-informed engineering design.
