Allan Xiaoguang Zhong, Ph.D., technology manager for innovation at Halliburton, was recently named a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Nominated by ASME members and Fellows, ASME members must have 10 or more years of active practice and at least 10 years of active corporate membership in the Society to become an ASME Fellow.
A recognized expert in applied mechanics and engineering simulations, Dr. Zhong was recognized for his significant contributions to the field of solid mechanics and finite element analysis. He was the first to establish a robust multiphysics fracture mechanics approach for failure analysis of rubber materials, which is now commonly employed in the tire industry for the assessment of critical reliability issues.
Zhong also played a significant role in introducing both nonlinear finite element analysis and metallic additive manufacturing to the oil and gas industry.
Prior to becoming technology manager for innovation at Halliburton in 2013, Zhong served as senior technical advisor at Halliburton for nine years and as a principal research engineer at Goodyear for five years. Zhong, who has been an ASME member for more than 20 years, received a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering/mechanics from Zhejiang University in China in 1986 and a master’s degree in computational solid mechanics from Tsinghua University in 1988. He earned a Ph.D. in applied mechanics from California Institute of Technology in 1995.
