Prof. Michał Böhm
Associated Professor at Opole University of Technology


Introduction

I'm mainly focused on fatigue and material related problems. I'm open to any interesting topic, which might be a new challenge. If You are searching for help, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I have started my adventure with Mechanical Engineering in the year 2005 when I started the Master program in Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Opole University of Technology.
I obtained my PhD degree in Mechanics in 2014 also in Opole. During this time I was a multiple Rector/EU fund scholarship recipient for the best students/PhD candidates. I was the first student from our University which studied at our first partner Chinese University, the Beijing University of Technology in 2008 during a summer program for the Business and Language for foreigners program. I also took part in the Winter School program at the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt in 2012.
In June 2024 I have obtained my Habilitation at the Opole University of Technology. Since August 2024 I'm an Associated Professor at the Opole University of Technology. As for my international work at the University I have taken part in the creation of the Confucius Institute in Opole in 2008 and the BSc and MSc program for Mechanical Engineering students held in English at our University in 2017, in which I am currently the caretaker of international students. I am teaching two programs for Erasmus students one in Strength of Materials and the second in Engineering Vibration Analysis of Mechanical Systems. Since the year 2024 I'm also teaching the subject Descriptive Geometry at the Shandong Agriculture and Engineering University in China.

Scientific and professional linked profiles:

I am mostly known for fatigue life estimation methods, especially defined in the frequency domain for  various materials such as steel, aluminum and composite materials. I have published altogether over 70 literature positions such as: various journal and conference papers as well as book chapters and books. I am currently working on a number of research topics focused mostly on the use of frequency domain methods as well as the problems of polymers and composite materials in terms of the influence of random loading. I am running a broad international scientific cooperation network with partners in Germany, Belgium, Italy and China. I have reviewed for multiple JCR high ranking journals. Currently I am a reviewer board member for many high impact journals such as Materials, Polymers, etc. and am the topic board member for the journal Crystals. I was also an editor for the special issue in this journal. I am also an Review Editor for Structural Materials section in Frontiers in Materials.
