Computational
Mechanics (CoM) Group
With the recent explosive advent of computing hardware
and software, numerical solutions for many engineering
problems have become readily available. However, tremendous
challenges lie ahead. Our colleagues with passions in
Computational Mechanics endeavor to develop efficient
numerical solutions for the empirically solved or the
not-yet-solved problems encountered in structural engineering.
With this vision, the Computational
Mechanics
(CoM)
group is formed within the Division of Structures and
Construction.
Its objective is to promote collaborations among colleagues
having interest in computational mechanics and to nurture
conducive environment for their endeavors. Currently,
research projects/topics registered under the CoM group
stretch over many sub-areas ranging from the fundamental
computational techniques to the application-led developments.
Major research efforts are focused on the following
areas:
- Material models for construction materials, in
particular structural concrete
- Basic computational algorithms for non-linear and
dynamic analyses
- Finite element meshing techniques
- Meshless methods
- Coupled problems including fluid-structure interaction
and thermal-structural analysis
- The use of artificial intelligence and generic algorithms
in analysis, design and optimization
