Dr. J. Correia

Profile

José António Fonseca de Oliveira Correia, born 1984 in Peso da Régua, Portugal, is Researcher of INEGI/LAETA and CONSTRUCT/FEUP of the University of Porto (Portugal). Since 2018 he is Guest Teacher at the Engineering Structures Department of the Civil Engineering and Geosciences Faculty of the Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands). He was Invited Assistant Professor at the structural mechanics section in the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Coimbra (2016/09 - 2019/01). He was appointed as Invited Professor at Applied Mechanics section in Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (Portugal) with beginning in September 2018. He obtained the degrees BSc (2007) and MSc (2009) in Civil Engineering by the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro. He is specialist in steel and composite (steel and concrete) construction by the University of Coimbra in 2010. He received his PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Porto in 2015. 

Since 2008, he has lectured several units courses, such as: Steel Structures; Timber Structures; Structural Engineering Design; Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics; Steel Structures for Offshore and Renewable Energies; Design of Bridges; and, Offshore Structures Design.

He is co-author of more 80 scientific journal papers in the most relevant scientific journals devoted to structural integrity, fatigue and fracture of engineering materials and structures, 150 proceedings in international and national conferences, congresses and workshops, and 1 chapter book about local approaches applied in the fatigue crack propagation modelling.

Since 2015, he was appointed as member of the editorial board of several journals such as, Advances in Computational Design, Engineering Structures and Technologies, Structural Integrity and Life, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Mathematical Problems in Engineeirng, Forensic Engineering (ICE),  SN Applied Sciences, among others. He is also associate member of the editorial board of the Marine Systems and Ocean Technology journal (Springer), as well as editor-in-chief, since 2017, of Book Series on Structural Integrity (Springer). He was supervisor of 20 master theses and he is co-supervisor of 4 Ph.D. thesis. He was/is also team member of the organization and participation in approved national (Portugal) and European research projects (11 research projects).

Proof of the international recognition of the scientific activities was the recent appointment (since January 2017) of José António Correia to chairman of the technical committee called "ESIS TC12 - Risk analysis and safety of large structures and components" of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS). He is a member of technical committees, CEN TC250 SC3 WG 1-9 Fatigue and CEN TC250 SC3 WG 1-10 Fracture, of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).

Research

His current research interests are:

  • Behaviour to fatigue and fracture of materials and structures (steel and alluminium, riveted and bolted connections, pressure vessels, old steel bridges, wind turbine towers, offshore structures);
  • Probabilistic fatigue modelling of metallic materials (including statistical evaluation, size-effect, cumulative damage);
  • Probabilistic design of glass structural elements;
  • Mechanical behaviour of materials and wooden structures (connections and characterization of ancient structures);
  • Mechanical and chemical characterization of old mortars and masonry structures.
