Inventor of eight patents of applications of composite materials and processes to aircraft structures.
Research Engineer and Advanced Composites Analytics, University of Dayton Research Institute, USA
Distinguished Research Engineer and Advanced Composites Analytics Group Leader at the University of Dayton Research Institute, received his B.S. and M.S. in Physics from Latvian State University in Riga, Latvia in 1983 and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1989.
Career research is focused on understanding and computational modeling of deformation and failure mechanisms of current and emerging composite materials. Recent research interests are in the area of Integrated Computational Materials Science and Engineering bringing together manufacturing and performance aspects of advanced composite materials. In the 80’s Iarve was among pioneers in application of B-spline approximation to stress analysis in laminated composites including dynamic problems and impact loading. Research areas included refined plate and shell theories, biomimetics, composite repair, composite bolted joints, chopped fiber composites and textile composites. Recent developments include Discrete Damage Modeling methodologies for laminated composites under broad range of loading conditions including compression and fatigue. His research was funded by Air Force, NASA and other government adjacencies and industry.
He is a member of ASME, AIAA and American Society for Composites. Dr. Iarve served on the ASME Joining Committee including Chair position 2008-2010.
