Bio

Dr. Hany Ghoneim received his B.S. and M.S in from Cairo University, Egypt, and his Ph.D. Rutgers the State University of NJ. His dissertation title was:: Constitutive modeling of viscoelastic-viscoplastic materials, and their finite element implementation. Dr. Ghoneim also did a Post-Doctoral Fellowship: Department of Plastics Research and Engineering, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ.

Dr. Ghoneim joined AT&T Bell laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, for two years, then moved to Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Currently, he is a full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at RIT. During the summers, he joined many research and development laboratories including IBM, Edward Air Force, Cornell Injection Molding Laboratories, and Lord Incorporation. He supervised dozens of Master Theses, published dozens of technical journal papers, and presented many conference papers in the fields of: thermo-viscoplasticity, novel vibration damping and control, and novel composite structural components. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Vibration and Control. He received the Eisenhart Award of Outstanding Teaching at RIT in 2001.

Currently Teaching

MECE-203
3 Credits
A basic course in the fundamental principles of the mechanics of deformable media, including stress, strain, deflections and the relationships among them. The basic loadings of tension, compression, shear, torsion and bending are also included.
MECE-544
3 Credits
This course is an introductory course to the fundamentals and applications of composite materials. Topics covered include constituents of composite materials, fabrication techniques, micromechanical analysis, macromechanical analysis, and the use of composites in design. Some laboratory work is to be performed, and a design project is required.
MECE-558
3 Credits
Is concerned with analytically finding the dynamic characteristics (natural frequencies and mode shapes) of vibratory mechanical systems (single-degree and multi-degrees of freedom systems), and the response of the systems to external excitations (transient, harmonic, and periodic). Application to vibration damping techniques (Dynamic Vibration Absorbers) is also covered. In addition, laboratory exercises are performed, and an independent design project is assigned.
