Biography
John H. L. PANG is an Associate Professor at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Nanyang Technological University. He received his PhD degree in 1989 and BSc degree in 1985 from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK. He joined Nanyang Technological University in 1990. His academic interests are in Mechanics of Materials and Design for Reliability (DFR). He has published over 160 peer-reviewed journal and technical conference papers and has a SCI Web-of-Science (PANG JHL OR PANG HLJ), h-Index of 22, and over 1447 citations. He serves in the Editorial Advisory Board of the International Journal of Fatigue and is Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technologies. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (FASME). He serves as Co-Director of the SIMTech-NTU Joint Laboratory on Reliability at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE).
Research Interests
His current research work includes Design-For-Reliability (DFR) assessments for laser additive remanufacturing technology, Materials-Process-Performance (MPP) characterizations, Elastic-Plastic-Creep (EPC) mechanics of lead-free (Sn-Ag-Cu) solders, Fitness-For-Service (FFS) assessments of welded joint and offshore structures. His research contributions to design-for-reliability (DFR) methodologies for lead-free solder has been documented in his book on Lead Free Solder : Mechanics and Reliability, Springer, 2012. (ISBN 978-4614-0462-0, e-ISBN 978-4614-0463-7). It covers lead-free solder mechanics, finite element modeling, simulations of failure for thermal cycling, cyclic bending, vibration fatigue and impact drop tests. He has research interest in Digital Image Correlation (AFM/DIC) analysis, Strain rate effects in Nano-indentation, CNT characterization and application.
