Area of work
Developing Parametrically Homogenized Continuum Damage Mechanics (PHCDM) Model for Composite materials. This PHCDM model accounts for the microscopic morphology and evolution of composite materials during the analysis of macroscopic deformation and damage. Meanwhile, the multi-scale damage model is much more computationally efficient than the conventional FE2 methods, enabling us to understand material failure behaviors across multiple length scales with affordable computation resource.
