Solving Practical Engineering Mechanics Problems

Dr. Sayavur I. Bakhtiyarov is a Professor at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (Socorro, NM, USA) and a Fulbright Fellow. Dr. Bakhtiyarov obtained his Ph.D. from the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1978, and in 1992 a D.Sc. from the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences. His areas of expertise are: multiphase flows, nanotechnology, nonlinear fluid mechanics, tribology, rheology, and self-healing composites. Dr. Bakhtiyarov taught engineering courses over four decades in several countries (Azerbaijan, Russia, China, UK, Turkey, U.S.). Dr. Bakhtiyarov authored 350+ scientific publications in refereed scholarly journals, books, international conferences and symposia proceedings, and 14 patents. Dr. Bakhtiyarov was elected as a foreign member of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and International Ecoenergy Academy. He served as a Program director of US DOE and NASA research projects, INSRP US DOD coordinator for NASAs Mars Science Lab mission. Dr. Bakhtiyarov is a lead organizer of the ASME annual symposia and forums, Editor in Chief of two international journals, Mechanics and Solids (IJM&S) and Manufacturing Science and Technology (IJMS&T), and an Editorial Board Member of i-managers Journal on Engineering and Technology (IJET), Mathematics Applied in Science and Technology (MAST), International Journal of Applied Engineering Research (IJAER), International Journal of Dynamics of Fluids (IJDF), and Far-East Journal of Mathematics (FEJM).
