Research

The ultimate goals, or the main objectives of the Computational Mechanics group’s effort devote to fourfold: (a) to discover new physical phenomena relevant to scientific and engineering problems; (b) to improve and enhance technological development in terms of numerical simulation using modern techniques; (c) to solve engineering problems of a broad range of industries; and (d) to provide effective tools of numerical solutions to explore phenomena and predict behavior that may be used to advance concepts and design in practical applications.

To accomplish our research objectives, our tasks encompass computational mechanics, multiphysics modeling and simulation, and computational engineering. In particular our recent research interests:

• Computational Mechanics

• Computational Fracture Mechanics

• Continuum Damage & Phase Field Model

• Concrete/Fibre Reinforced Concrete & Porous Media

• Multiphase Functional Composites

• Computational Inelasticity

• Nonlinear and Linear of Structures (e.g., Shells/Plates)

• Computational Intelligence (e.g., artificial neural network, data mining)

• Stochastic Optimization and Robustness Management
