Election Remark
Norman A. Fleck spends much of his time researching Composite material, Finite element method, Structural engineering, Ultimate tensile strength and Compressive strength. Stress, Buckling, Composite number, Toughness and Indentation are subfields of Composite material in which his conducts study.

His Finite element method research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plasticity, Beam, Metal foam, Strain hardening exponent and Deflection.

In 2012, he was elected as member of the European Academy of Engineering.
 
His research investigates the connection between Plasticity and topics such as Strain gradient that intersect with issues in Classical mechanics and Dissipative system.

In general Stress study, his work on Stress field often relates to the realm of Blowing agent, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His Toughness research includes themes of Crack growth resistance curve, Cracking, Brittleness, Fracture toughness and Coating.
