Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

In the not too distant future, an integrated multiscale analysis system for the design of a reliable engineering structure to sustain harsh environmental conditions within a predetermined lifetime may ...

The Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics (SESM) research area teaches and perform research on mechanics of solids, mechanics of structures, and structural engineering. Our research spans ...

Comprehensive guidance about the design of permanent bamboo structures has been published by the Institution of Structural ...

Our CSM research includes static and dynamic analyses of complex solid bodies using computational approaches such as finite volume, finite element, discrete element, and meshless methods. The focus of ...

Fracture mechanics and finite element analysis represent two interrelated domains that fundamentally advance our understanding of material failure. The discipline of fracture mechanics addresses the ...

Structural Engineers are at the helm of the urban environment. Engineers design novel infrastructure systems to be adaptive, resilient, and sustainable. The structural engineering and design ...

Typically, graduate students admitted to the SESM program will have completed a BS in either Civil or Architectural Engineering from a program accredited by ABET in the United States or will hold an ...

From rockets to robots, power plants to biomechanical parts, mechanical engineers put both energy and machines to work. Wherever there is motion or energy, mechanical engineers have played a role in ...

Learn to address the likelihood of structural failure. Perform risk analysis associated with environmental loads to structures under static and dynamic loadings. Master the basics of performance-based ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...
