Welcome to LIRAM! Here we perform scientific and applicable research on how advanced materials damage and fail under complex loading conditions across different length scales. Our long-term goal is to enhance the structural integrity and reliability of advanced high-performance and functional materials by:
Obtaining thorough understandings of fundamental damage and failure mechanisms.
Developing state-of-the-art computational / experimental / data-driven techniques to characterize, validate, and predict the damage and failure of advanced materials.
Leveraging the acquired fundamental findings and developed methodologies to design and verify advanced materials for high manufacturing yields, high reliability, high material performance, and high damage tolerance. Ultimately, we endeavor to contribute to a safer and more sustainable world.
