Mecánica de Materiales

We are a research group dedicated to the modeling and mechanical characterization of materials, components and structures. We develop experimental, theoretical and computational activities to develop models with predictive capacity on the mechanical response of materials and their failure mechanisms. The Division is organized into two complementary groups specialized in Experimental Mechanics (LABMEX) and Computational Mechanics.

Our main lines of research are:

  • Predictive models for the fracture and fatigue behaviors of steels and welded structures,
  • Technologies for monitoring damage to parts and structures,
  • Computational fracture mechanics
  • Computational homogenization for the physical characterization of materials and microstructures
  • Modeling and multiscale for the characterization and design (optimization) of biomimetic cellular materials
  • Multi-scale design of bone implements
Applications

The products of our research have applications in structural integrity analysis and the design of mechanical components and structures, monitoring, prediction and failure analysis, characterization and design of cellular materials with custom physical properties.
