About MCML

Welcome to the homepage of the Multiscale Computational Mechanics Laboratory at Vanderbilt University ! At MCML we concentrate our efforts to bringing understanding to nonlinear mechanical and functional response of multi-scale materials and structures through computational modeling and simulation. Our research focus is on computational characterization of the failure response of systems that involve multiple temporal and spatial scales, development of computational methodologies for failure and fragmentation of composite systems subjected to extreme loading conditions including impact, blast and crushing loads, characterization of complex and hybrid composite systems, and analysis of multiphysics problems

Research Interests

1. Multiscale Computational Failure Modeling of Solids and Structures
2. Life Prediction and Performance Assessment of Structures
3. Computational Modeling of Composites and other Heterogeneous Materials
4. Modeling of Multiphysics Systems
