Optimized topology and relative density distribution of an engine bracket (top). The de-homogenized structure shows regions with different relative densities (bottom). -
Architecture of a physics-informed neural network for predicting the effective stiffness tensor of isotropic elastic lattice structures. -
Isogeometric analysis with a trimmed shell formulation enables full interoperability with CAD, while achieving the same accuracy as standard FEA. -
Explicit dynamics of a wind turbine rotor blade with high-order accuracy using spectral elements based on Gauss-Lobatto-Lagrange functions and nodal Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. -
MicroCT-based calibration and validation of a micromechanics-based multiphase material model for oat stems. -
Framework for generating synthetic vascular structures based on global geometry and topology optimization, enabling multiple non-overlapping vascular trees in non-convex organs (e.g., liver). -
Concept of a multicompartment model for translating a discrete vascular structure into homogenized blood perfusion at different scales. -
The current patient-specific simulation paradigm is based on combining different, often incompatible technologies. We are developing new methods to overcome this fragmentation and seamlessly integrate image analysis and simulation techniques. -
Two-stage variational approach for segmenting 3D bone CT data that is robust to thin cartilage interfaces (US Patent 11257214). -
Multiscale failure simulation of a vertebral body. In the failure regions, coarse-scale elements are informed by local voxel-scale subproblems, whose results are upscaled via stress projection. -
Gas bubble rising through two immiscible liquid layers: As it ascends, the bubble deforms the liquid-liquid and gas-liquid interfaces, creating complex three-phase flows. -
Advective two-phase model (Cahn-Hilliard) of a swirling flow: Bound-violating Ginzburg-Landau potential (left) vs. bound-preserving Flory-Huggins potential (right), shown before breakup (top) and after breakup (bottom). -
Compressible Taylor-Green vortex (Re = 100): Transition to turbulent flow (vorticity contour lines), computed via the macro-element HDG method; dissipation rate of kinetic energy over time for different polynomial degrees and patch discretizations (diagram).
