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
Fluid-Structure Interaction Analyses (FSI)
FE, CFD, Lattice Boltzmann, TAVR-TAVI Simulations
Artificial Neural Networks in Engineering Applications
Inverse Mechanics, Surrogate and Proxy Models
Biocomposites materials and systems:
Coral-Based Long Collagen Scaffolds
