EMI 2016 & PMC 2016 Conferences
The ASCE Engineering Mechanics Institute 2016 Conference (EMI2016) and the Probabilistic Mechanics and Reliability Conference (PMC 2016) will be held at Vanderbilt University on May 22-25, 2016. The Conferences are co-chaired by Prof. Sankaran Mahadevan and Prof. Caglar Oskay. Please visit the official website of the EMI2016/PMC2016 Conferences for more information.
About MCML
Welcome to the homepage of the Multiscale Computational Mechanics Laboratory at Vanderbilt University ! At MCML we concentrate our efforts to bringing understanding to nonlinear mechanical and functional response of multi-scale materials and structures through computational modeling and simulation. Our research focus is on computational characterization of the failure response of systems that involve multiple temporal and spatial scales, development of computational methodologies for failure and fragmentation of composite systems subjected to extreme loading conditions including impact, blast and crushing loads, characterization of complex and hybrid composite systems, and analysis of multiphysics problems. Prospective students: View the YouTube videos for more information on the programs in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the School of Engineering.
Research Interests
- Multiscale Computational Failure Modeling of Solids and Structures
- Life Prediction and Performance Assessment of Structures
- Computational Modeling of Composites and other Heterogeneous Materials
- Modeling of Multiphysics Systems
