Beholder for mac. Fiber reinforced composites under compression predominantly fail by the formation and propagation of fiber kink bands. This is a critical failure mode for composites with complex underlying micromechanisms . We are developing multiscale models to capture these and also analyze and predict the ensuing size dependence of the failure loads. Additionally we are also investigating simple experimental methods to characterize the necessary material parameters

DYNAMIC CRACK BRANCHING IN COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Fiber reinforced composites are quasi-brittle materials with a highly heterogeneous microstructure. Predicting their dynamic failure behavior is a major challenge. We are analyzing the continuum scale modeling of crack branching and damage mechanism transitions that occur during dynamic fracture of textile composites. Specifically, the aim is to understand the numerical considerations that underpin objective and accurate predictions in this regard, and analyze the role played by localization limiters such as the crack band model, and material rate dependence.

Soft materials have a wide range of application ranging from tires to biomedical implants. We are focusing on understanding the mechanical behavior of soft sandwich nanocomposites made from hydrogels and graphene, for potential application as neural implants. We are also interested in general, in their failure, scaling and adhesion behavior

We are pursuing a fundamental understanding of rock failure at lengthscales ranging from atomic to tectonic. Specific interests include the effect of specific geophysical conditions (temperature, pressure etc.) on the sub-critical crack growth rates and the scaling of the failure behavior with specimen size The jackbox party pack 2 for mac.

POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES
We are studying a variety of interesting and unexplored effects of nanoreinforcement (e.g. carbon nanotubes, graphene) on the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites. Specific focus is on adhesion and fracture properties

MECHANICS OF 3D PRINTED PARTS
We are interested in the mechanical and fracturing behavior of 3D printed parts. Specific focus is on understanding the induced quasi-brittleness and anisotropy which must be accounted for in their designs
