Mechanics and Computation Group
Teaching and research in the Mechanics and Computation Group centers on a broad range of mechanical phenomena in solids and structures that make up biological tissue and complex materials under the actions of mechanical, thermal, chemical and electrical loads. The ultimate goal is to discover new scientific knowledge relevant to engineering problems of the future, to create technological developments in a broad range of industries, to improve health in society, and to contribute to national security and defense.
Much of the Mechanics & Comptuation Group's research is interdisciplinary in nature, reflecting a combination of concepts, methods, and principles that often span several areas of mechanics, mathematics, computer science, materials science, biology and other scientific disciplines Our approach often combines experimental studies with theoretical modeling and numerical simulation to create tools that both explain phenomena and predict behavior, and advance new concepts and designs in industry.
To achieve our educational objectives, our teaching and research encompass computational mechanics, multiphysics modeling, computational bioengineering, and micro-scale devices.
