Computational Modeling of Coupled Multiphysical Fields in Solids

Description : Research opportunities exist for modeling highly transient, coupled, multiphysical fields in solids using analytical, finite element, finite difference, peridynamic, phase field, discrete element, and other computational methods. Emphasis is placed on model validation with experiments, and verification with analytical solutions to transient coupled-field boundary value problems involving wave propagation, thermo-mechanical and electromagnetic fields in finitely deformed matter, fluid-structure interaction associated with shock, impact, dynamic fracture, and fragmentation phenomena. Additional research opportunities exist in the areas of machine learning, topology optimization, multiscale modeling of material microstructures using genetic programming and computational geometric methods for use in conjunction with large-scale finite element and other computational solvers.
