Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

Fracture mechanics and finite element analysis represent two interrelated domains that fundamentally advance our understanding of material failure. The discipline of fracture mechanics addresses the ...

Learn to address the likelihood of structural failure. Perform risk analysis associated with environmental loads to structures under static and dynamic loadings. Master the basics of performance-based ...

Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...

Through an NSF grant, SLU in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, has created learning modules for experiential learning in structural engineering. There are twelve modules broken ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...

A new technical paper titled “A review of the thermo-mechanical analysis framework for microelectronics packaging: Mechanics, ...

Rubber-like materials have outstanding damping properties because they can concurrently display flow-like and spring-like characteristics. Recently, Japanese researchers have created a novel technique ...
