In the not too distant future, an integrated multiscale analysis system for the design of a reliable engineering structure to sustain harsh environmental conditions within a predetermined lifetime may ...

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 ...

The Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics (SESM) research area teaches and perform research on mechanics of solids, mechanics of structures, and structural engineering. Our research spans ...

Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, steamboats, telegraph, highways, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. Historical analysis provides a basis for studying ...

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

Theory of elasticity: elastic stability, principal of minimum potential energy, Raylegh-Ritz methods. Introduction to finite element methods of stress analysis: computer implementation and use of ...

Engineers design structures for all kinds of purposes and at vastly different scales. This ranges from large ones (like bridges, skyscrapers or offshore wind turbines), to smaller ones (like crash ...

Researchers publish first ever structural engineering manual for bamboo, a significant milestone in realising the benefits of ...

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 ...
