Bio/Research
Dr. Lagacé received his Ph.D. from MIT. Upon joining the faculty in 1982, he concentrated his work in the areas of mechanics, fracture, longevity, damage resistance, and damage tolerance of composite materials and their structures. He has published widely on these topics and on general topics related to composite materials and their structures.
With this work and his extensive cooperation with industry as background, he has been an initiator and key leader of an effort to improve the methodology for the design and certification of composite structures via the recognition and associated modeling of the various length scales involved in the behavior of composite structures.
Dr. Lagacé has received departmental and Institute awards for excellence in undergraduate teaching, and is a MacVicar Faculty Fellow. He is a member of several societies including being a fellow of the ASTM, a fellow of the AIAA, a fellow of the ASC, and an ICCM World Fellow of Composites. He has served for six years as the president of the International Committee on Composite Materials, and has received various awards. He also serves as a consultant to industry and as a participant on various governmental committees.
