Current Research

My current research is about Analytical Modeling of Connection Capacity and Stiffness for Inclined Self-Tapping Screws under Consideration of Axial and Lateral Resistance. The main objective of my research is to develop design equation for single inclined self-tapping screw in terms of capacity and stiffness based on the geometry and mechanical properties of the screw, which considers both withdrawal capacity and embedment strength.
