Profile

Hui Long is Professor of Mechanics of Materials in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. She joined the Department as a Reader in 2012. Prior to this from 2003 to 2012, she was a Senior Lecturer and a Lecturer in the School of Engineering, Durham University. From 1996 to 2003, she worked as a research associate / fellow in the University of Strathclyde, Swansea University and Brunel University London. Before moving to the UK, she was an Associate Professor in the State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Transmissions, Chongqing University, China. She received her BEng, MSc and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Chongqing University in China.

Professor Hui Long is a Chartered Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and a Senior Fellow of Higher Education Academy. She acts as an Associate Editor of ASME Journal of Tribology and IMechE Proceedings Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture. She is a member of EPSRC Peer Review College and an expert reviewer of EU research proposals.

Professor Hui Long leads the Flexible Forming Research Group. She is also a member of the Leonardo Tribology Centre and the Structural Integrity Research Team.

Research interests

Professor Hui Long specialises in mechanics of materials, plasticity, contact mechanics and engineering failures and her current research activities centre on two broad fields of applications, in wind energy and manufacturing technology.

In wind energy, the current research areas include:

Wind turbine blade pitching bearing failures due to false Brinelling and fretting corrosion
Wind turbine gearbox bearing premature failures due to white etching cracking
Wind turbine drivetrain system dynamic load modelling under transient loading
Failure analysis and prediction using SCADA (Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition) data

In manufacturing, the research activities centre on flexible metal forming technologies:

Metal spinning process development and optimisation for material processing failure prevention
Incremental sheet forming process development for improved formability and precision
Non-linear finite element analysis and damage modelling of metal forming processes
