Zhang-Composite Group was established in 2016 at Northwestern Polytechnical University, leaded by Prof. Chao Zhang under the supervisor of Prof. Yulong Li. Zhang-Composite group works mainly on failure analysis and impact problems of composite structures, with specific interests on the multiscale and multiphysics methods. The research areas lie in the areas of structure design of aircraft structures, anti-impact design of aero-engine structures and mechanical safety of energy devices. There are a total of 20+ Master and Ph.D students, and several postdocs and faculty members.
