Welcome to iPACM Research Group! 

We perform research at the Center for Composite Materials at the University of Delaware  in Newark, DE. Our group is led by Dr. Bazle Z. (Gama) Haque and we focus on the impact physics, penetration mechanics, and damage modeling of composite materials using both experimental and computational techniques. We primarily experiment on composites using Quasi Static Indentation (QSI), Quasi Static Punch-Shear (QS-PS), Quasi-Static Annulus Tension (QS-AT), Low Velocity Impact (LVI), Ballistic Limit (V50), Depth of Penetration (DoP), and High Strain Rate Split Hopkinson Bar experimental methodologies. Our computational experiments are performed primarily using LS-DYNA, ANSYS, and ABAQUS finite element codes; and LS-Prepost, Hypermesh, FEMAP, and CUBIT FE modeling tools.
