Caglar Oskay delivered an invited lecture at United Technologies Research Center
Aug. 25, 2015—Lecture Title: Multiscale Simulation-Based Progressive Damage Modeling of Composite Materials. Location: United Technologies Research Corporation, United Technologies Corporation, East Hartford, CT. Abstract: We will present a multiscale simulation-based failure and life prediction approach for composite materials and structures. This approach is a new alternative to the traditional model-based life prediction paradigm. The multiscale methodology we...
Shuhai Zhang presented his research at EMI 2015 Conference
Jun. 19, 2015—The title of the Shuhai’s presentation is: “Variational Multiscale Enrichment with Mixed Boundary Conditions for Elasto-Viscoplastic Problems”. Presentation Abstract: We present the formulation and implementation of the variational multiscale enrichment (VME) method for the analysis of elasto-viscoplastic problems. VME is a global-local approach that allows accurate fine scale representation at small subdomains, where important physical...
