Computational Structural Mechanics

My primary research focus is on Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM), a dynamic and interdisciplinary field that leverages computational methods and techniques to analyze and predict the behavior of structures under various loading conditions. At its core, CSM integrates principles of structural mechanics, materials science, and computer science to develop models that can simulate and optimize the performance of complex engineering systems, such as reinforced concrete and steel building structures, bridges, composite materials, structural failure behaviour and others.

As a researcher in this field, I utilize various numerical methods, including the widely-used finite element method (FEM), finite volume method (FVM), finite difference method (FDM), meshfree methods and Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), to tackle complex structural problems. My work has focused on developing novel CSM models to predict the response of structures to diverse loads, such as static, dynamic, and thermal loads, as well as to optimize the design and performance of structural components.
