Summary of Modeling and Simulation Capabilities

• Use both in-house developed codes employing
  finite element and meshless methodologies, and
  commercial codes such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, and
  LSDYNA.
• Analysis and design of functionally graded
  rubberlike materials including material and
  geometric nonlinearities, failure propagation,
  contact stresses and fluid-structure interaction.
• Analysis of transient nonlinear coupled
  multi-physics (thermo-mechanical,
  electro-mechanical, thermo-elasto-visco-plastic)
  problems involving large deformations.
• Molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics
  simulations of nano-indentation tests, and
  deformations of carbon nanotubes.
• Penetration mechanics, and dynamic material
  failure of monolithic and composite
  materials/armors/structures incorporating
  progressive damage.
• Impact loading of soft tissues.
• Development of constitutive relations (material
  models) incorporating material and geometric
  nonlinearities, synergisms among different
  fields, and pertinent material symmetries.
• Development of mathematical models of physical
  systems and their analyses.
