Course Description
The research activities in this track involve theoretical, experimental and numerical techniques applied over a wide range of materials, composites, metals, polymers, etc. Our research spans from structural dynamics, nonlinear solid mechanics, mechanics of defects and heterogeneities, structural health monitoring to the estimation of mechanical behavior of nanomaterials using molecular dynamics simulations, processing and characterizations of advanced materials such as polymers, carbon-carbon/silicon composites, nanocomposites, multifunctional and functionally graded composites.
