New Research Centers: 20-minute Faculty Talks at Research Expo 2015
(2:30 PM)
William Prager Professor of Structural Engineering
“I will introduce meshfree-based computation methods for multi-scale, multi-physics simulation of damage initiation, propagation, and total collapse in structures and systems subjected to extreme events. I will also discuss how verification and validation of numerical simulation play an important role in the reliability of disaster prediction.”
