Research

The Computational Mechanics Group develops models and computational frameworks to describe complex mechanical processes, with the ultimate goal of enabling computational material, process and structural design and optimization. Our research deploys modern simulation methods and develops them further to meet the ever-​increasing demand for accuracy and efficiency. We also value and pursue experimental validation and, whenever needed, develop new testing setups and techniques. The focus at this moment is especially on fracture and fatigue mechanics, modeling and simulation of additive manufacturing processes, and machine learning techniques for computational mechanics.
