Computational Plasticity

This field focuses on modeling and simulating plastic deformation in materials by integrating advanced techniques such as crystal plasticity modeling in classical and non-classical continuum theories in order to capture slip and deformation mechanisms at the crystal level, microstructure reconstruction to incorporate realistic grain and phase morphologies, and homogenization methods to link microscale behavior to effective macroscopic properties. High-performance computing (HPC) methods are leveraged to solve complex, multi-scale problems efficiently, enabling the prediction of material behavior under various loading and environmental conditions.
