Welcome to Multiscale Material Modeling Lab
At Multiscale Material Modeling Lab, we use large scale computer modeling to understand the relation between the microstructure of materials and their mechanical properties. The computational tools employed in our group include (extended) finite element method, molecular dynamics and first principle methods. We also develop novel multiscale methods which link atomistic and continuum scales and allow consideration of microscopic processes that dictate macroscale properties. Using multiscale methods we specially focus on discovering the mechanism of damage initiation and propagation in materials, aiming at predicting and eventually preventing failure of materials.
