Computational Solid Mechanics

Computational solid mechanics group

The group works in the formulation, analysis, and implementation of numerical methods for complex problems in Computational Mechanics of Solids, Fluids, and Structures. We have developed a state-of-the-art simulation framework for Computational Mechanics with capabilities for linear/nonlinear, static/transient problems in our areas of interest, including complex material models. Specific topics on which we are currently working are:

Nonlinear continuum and structural mechanics
Material modelling at the continuum level (including inelasticity, high-velocity response, damage, thermomechanical models, ...)
Design, analysis, and implementation of advanced numerical methods for the simulation of solids and structures.
Numerical methods for coupled problems
Multiscale material modeling
