Self Introduction
My name is Chunsheng Lu, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Curtin University. I obtained my PhD in solid mechanics at the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1993, and subsequently worked at Tohoku University in Japan, Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, University of Leoben in Austria, and the University of Sydney and Curtin University in Australia as a postdoc or research fellow.
My research interests focus on statistical physics of fracture, statistical seismology, multi-scale modeling and simulations, and nano-mechanics. For more information about my publications, please seehttp://scholar.google.com.au/citations?user=G4D3gy8AAAAJ&hl=en Following two earlier brief visits to ERI, supported respectively by the JSPS visiting fellowship in 2007 and the Australian Prime Minister’s Education Assistance Program in 2012, this is my third time to visit ERI. During my stay at ERI, I expect to develop a physical model that, based on experimental results, can provide a deep understanding on intrinsic mechanisms of the rate and state-dependent friction. Also if possible, modeling for the volcanic eruption induced by numerous bubbles will be investigated. Please feel free to drop by my office (room 2−310) and have a chat.
