Computational Mechanics

Computational Mechanics integrates numerical methods such as finite‐element, boundary‐element and meshless techniques to simulate physical phenomena in solids and fluids. Topics include multiscale modelling, nonlinear material behaviour and coupled‐field interactions (e.g., thermo‐mechanical, fluid‐structure). High‐performance computing implementations and adaptive‐mesh refinement strategies enable accurate simulations of complex systems. Validation against experimental data—through modal analysis, fracture‐testing benchmarks or flow‐visualization studies—ensures model fidelity. Research that couples computational frameworks with uncertainty quantification and optimization algorithms enhances predictive capability in engineering design.
