Mechanics, uncertainty, and simulation focuses on select problems, often multidisciplinary in nature, whose solution requires the synergy of applied mechanics, applied mathematics, reliability and stochastic analysis, computational simulation, and/or physical experiments. Our graduates are employed by engineering consulting and design firms, engineering companies offering specialized and high-value services, the offshore oil and gas industry, and academic institutions worldwide.
Our work is primarily driven by the need to understand physical processes, and a desire to provide engineering solutions to problems affecting infrastructure and the built environment. Our areas of expertise cover broad as well as focused topics in including
- Earthquake engineering
- Wind engineering
- Reliability and risk assessment of components and systems
- Computational mechanic
- Wave propagation
- Soil-structure interaction
- Acoustics
- Inverse problems and imaging
- Coupled physics problems
- Simulation of structural response to blast and impact loads
- Collapse modeling
- Stability of structures
- Structural dynamics.
