Welcome to Computational Mechanics of Solids and Structures (CMSS) Lab!!
We are part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Changwon National University. Our lab is dedicated to advancing theoretical and computational mechanics of solids and structures within the continuum mechanics framework, with a strong emphasis on finite element methods (FEM) and their applications.
Our research activities span the following areas:
Theoretical Mechanics: Development of constitutive models to explore nonlinear and multiphysics phenomena in solid materials, including poroelasticity, damage evolution, and fracture mechanics.
Computational Mechanics: Advancing numerical methods such as mixed finite element methods (FEM), spline-based and isogeometric finite element analysis (IGA), fluid–structure interaction (FSI) techniques, and structural dynamics including reduced-order modeling (ROM) and component-mode synthesis (CMS). We also integrate Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) into solid and structural mechanics to enhance computational efficiency and predictive capability.
Applied Mechanics: Application of theoretical and computational frameworks to the design and analysis of materials and structural systems, with a particular focus on soft materials, mechanobiology, and biomedical engineering.
We actively collaborate with academic institutions and industry partners to bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical applications, striving to create innovative solutions for both engineering and science challenges.
