Providing Learning Opportunities by Designing a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar

Mohamad Dyab currently works at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) on a research project on modeling and simulation of wind turbines for structural health monitoring purposes. Mr. Dyab received his Undergraduate Degree with Honors in Engineering with a Mechanical Engineering Specialization from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) in December 2012. For his senior design project, Mr. Dyab designed and fabricated a working prototype of a small-size Hopkinson Pressure Split Bar for material properties characterization under high speed deformation. During the undergraduate studies, Mr. Dyab worked as a team leader for AIRSPACES Project (Air-propelled Instrumented Robotic Sensory Platform(s) for Assateague Coastline Environmental Studies) at UMES from 2010 to 2012.
