Dr. Yi Li is a Research Scientist for the Global Center for Automotive Performance Simulation (GCAPS). He specializes in the field of tire mechanics and the mathematical modeling of tire behavior. His knowledge of multi-body dynamics and continuous mechanics enables him to advance the tire model development and parameter identification capability at GCAPS. Dr. Li has five years’ experience in Finite Element modeling of large-scale linear and nonlinear mechanical systems involving geometric and constitutive nonlinearity. His work also includes model validation to correlate model predictions with physical tests.
