Research Interests and History

    Fu-Pen Chiang's research interest is in the development and application of various optical techniques such as moire, holographic interferometry and speckle interferometry for stress analysis, nondestructive evaluation and metrology. He has applied these techniques to the study of fracture, fatigue and damage of metallic, composite and biological materials and published some 200 papers on various topics. He was the recipient of the 1993 B.J. Lazan Award of the Society for Experimental Mechanics for his "outstanding original technical contributions in optical metrology." His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the Army Research Office, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the National Institute of Health. He is a Fellow of the Society of Experimental Mechanics, Optical Society of America and a member of many professional societies including, ASME, ASEE, AAAS and ASTM. He served as Editor of Int. J. Optics of Lasers in Engineering, Associate Editor of J. of Experimental Mechanics and ASME J. of Engineering Materials and Technology. He served as Guest Editor for four special issues of J. Optical Engineering, and organized many international and national conferences.
