The group's research (including solid, structural, experimental mechanics, and dynamics and vibration) connects fundamental materials science with engineering design using numerical and analytical methods, covering elasticity, plasticity, hyperelasticity, various failure mechanisms, and the dynamic behaviour of structures and mechanical systems.
The group uses state-of-the-art tools of both experimental and computational mechanics to span applications such as energy conversion materials, heterogeneous materials, biomechanics, damage and fracture mechanics, high temperature structural integrity, and structural dynamics.
