Automotive Lower Suspension Arm: Experimental and Simulation Durability
Assessment, p.53-p.74
Dr. Kadhim obtained the PhD degree in 2011 from the Department of Mechanical and
aspiration for success, she joined the university as a Postdoctoral fellow. Her research
skills helped to form the foundation and component life prediction philosophy that she
applies to fatigue analysis. She has valuable hands on experimental and analytical fatigue
assessment. In addition, like academic and applied research, fatigue analysis requires
global thinking and a panoramic approach to problem solving. This type of analysis is
fundamental research to any industry like automotive, aerospace, marine, etc. Therefore,
analysis as thoroughly as possible, then achieve the component life optimization. She
