The Mechanics
of Composite Materials Lab

Research

At the MCM-Lab, we delve into the intricate world of composite materials, seeking to understand their fundamental mechanics and micromechanics. We aim to explore the behavior at a microscopic level and predict the performance at large scales. Our journey extends beyond traditional boundaries, focusing on computational mechanics and nonlinear structural analysis in interdisciplinary thrust areas:

Mechanics and Micromechanics of Composite Materials and Structures

Constitutive Models, Damage, Fracture and Fatigue

Multi-Scale Nonlinear Structural Analysis

Experimental Mechanics Techniques

DIC, Brazilian Disk, Indentation, Modified Arcan

Biomechanics of Aortic Valves

Tri-and-Bi Cusped, RCT Calcification Technique
