Research Interests:
The CSM research is focused on advancing the mechanics theory and numerical algorithms to better predict the time-dependent, nonlinear, multiscale and fracture behavior of manmade and natural materials; including: concrete, steel, polymers, ice, rock and biomaterials. This is achieved through the development of constitutive material modeling and numerical algorithms/methods suited to represent different types of materials and phenomena. More information about current research thrusts is available on the Research Section.

CSM Lab News
Dr. Abueidda joins CSM
Dr. Diab Abueidda joins the CSM Lab as a Postdoctoral Associate. Dr. Abueidda's research will focus on the development of machine learning algorithms for multiphysics and nonlinear mechanics problems. Welcome, Dr. Abueidda!
Research Grant Awarded - Lung Alveoli Modeling
In collaboration with Professor Rafael Song, the CSM group awarded research funding to investigate the development of a mechanics model to represent lung behavior and gas exchange. The project focuses on the differences between healthy and diseased lungs. More information can be found here.
