Personal Information

Bora YILDIRIM

I was born on 6 March 1970 in Istanbul/TURKEY. Due to my fathers occupation, I continued my middle/high school education in variuous places of Turkey (Ankara, Izmir, Hakkari, Kayseri, Istanbul) and Europe (Belgium, England, Italy). And I graduated from the mechanical engineering department of Bogazici University , in 1992. After one year of teaching assistantship experience in the same department, I attended Lehigh University for Master's and Ph.D. Degrees. I completed my Ph.D. study in 1999 and came back to my home country.

I worked as an Assistant professor at Eskisehir (Osmangazi) university between 2000-2004.Currently, I am a full professor at Hacettepe University . My master's thesis topic was "Edge and T-shaped Crack problems on an FGM layer Bonded to a Homogenous Substrate" and my Ph.D. thesis included  many different topics namely; 1) "Thermal Diffusion/Stress/Crack Problems on an FGM layer Bounded to a Homogenous Substrate", 2) "Finite Element analysis of interface cracking and blistering of thin epoxy films due to transient thermal/moisture induced stresses and Plasticity" and 3) "Finite Element Modeling of Overlay Welding Problems". My unique tool to solve these problems was/is finite element method (FEM). I developed my own codes and I worked under the supervision of Prof. Fazil Erdogan and Prof. Herman F.Nied.
