Usman Abdullah Ph.D, M.Sc, Pgcert, Beng, Fhea Email and Phone Number

Currently engaged in teaching System Design and Engineering Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Dynamic Modelling modules at Level 5 and 6.

Engaged students from diverse groups of a large cohort (approx 600 students) in a hybrid learning environment.

My PhD research is a collaborative work of Bournemouth University and Schaeffler technologies. The project is aimed to investigate the rolling bearing elements subjected to rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and corresponding microstructural alterations due to subsurface damage. Key highlights are: • Finite element simulation of deep zone residual stresses in rolling bearing elements via commercial solver• Derivation and integration of non-linear material model under multiaxial… Show more My PhD research is a collaborative work of Bournemouth University and Schaeffler technologies.
