Research @ CSM

The CSM research is focused on advancing the mechanics theory and numerical algorithms to better predict the time-dependent, nonlinear, multiscale, and fracture behavior of manmade and natural materials; including concrete, steel, polymers, ice, rock, and biomaterials. This is achieved through the development of constitutive material modeling and numerical algorithms/methods suited to represent different types of materials and phenomena.

 

Current research thrusts:

• Computationally efficient non-local modeling of damage in porous media

• Continuum to discrete fracture transition for ductile and brittle materials

• Coupled solution algorithms for computationally efficient multiphysics modeling

• Stabilized numerical algorithms for ill-conditioned multiphysics problems

• Image-based characterization of fracture mechanisms in brittle and porous materials
