Computational Mechanics of Materials Laboratory
WelcomeWelcome to the Computational Mechanics of Materials Laboratory at Marquette University. Our overarching goal is to understand, predict and improve materials performance through advancements in materials modeling. Materials drive technology; however, improving modern structural materials is a formidable challenge involving sophisticated techniques, beyond the Edisonian (trail-and-error) approach. Our work strives to use computational modeling to understand the connection between materials microstructure and their properties, build tools to predict materials performance in environments that are difficult to access experimentally, and ultimately transfer this knowledge to materials and product designers. NewsDr John A. Moore, Dr. Le Zhou, Dr Richard Povinelli, Dr John Borg, and Oceanit recently submitted a DOE GENESIS proposal outlining breakthroughs in material discovory based on their advances in Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces TPMS structures for energy and space flight applications. They use agentic AI to jump between TPMS and discover optimum materials. The team is a the forfront of materials discovery for micro-architected materials Check out are recent work on X-ray tomography of damage dynamics in advanced materials using a laser wakefield accelerator Scientific Reports Our team was recently awarded an AFRL Regional Network - Midwest Grant. See the News Release We've found that wire size effects the fatigue behavior of superelastic nitinol Materials Science and Engineering: A Our team has developed software for nonlocal modeling, see the writeup in Software Impacts Check out this new approach to modeling the statistical stread in fatigue life of polycrystals Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures
