Biography
Hitoshi Soyama is Professor of Department of Finemechanics at Tohoku University, Japan, He is a Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME and a honorary member of Water Jet Technology Society of Japan. He is known for his work in the fields of cavitation and its practical applications such as water treatment and mechanical surface treatment, i.e., cavitation peening. Although cavitation impacts causes severe damage in hydraulic machineries, his research utilized cavitation impacts for enhancement of fatigue properties of metallic materials. He established evaluation methods using inverse analysis to investigate mechanical properties of surface modified layer. Now, he has been applied the evaluation methods to mechanical properties of products of additive manufacturing. He proposed additive manufacturing of laser melting using oxide iron on Mars and/or Moon. It was revealed that oxygen was obtained during the process
