Research
Static and dynamic, deterministic and probabilistic analysis of
elastic and inelastic solids and structures.
Current work is on a number of theoretical, computational and practical application topics,
related to development of
the Finite Element Interpreter (FEI).
Real-ESSI Simulator
is one prominent FEI application
(alternative URLs:
real-essi.us
;
real-essi.info),
that is developed and used to investigate:
- Statics and dynamics of soil,
statics and dynamics of rock,
statics and dynamics of structures,
statics of soil structure systems and
dynamics of earthquake-soil-structure interaction systems
- Parallel and sequential, high performance computational analysis systems
- Probabilistic elasto-plasticity and stochastic elastic-plastic finite
element methods
Focus is on the development and
use of analysis methods that reduce Kolmogorov complexity and
modeling uncertainty,
that is, methods that
predict and inform.
In other words, we like to model all components of a real, 3D soil-structure system,
(rock, soil, structure, fluids...) for all important 3D static and dynamic loads
(construction loads, service loads, hazard loads, earthquakes...),
with appropriate level of sophistication.
Sustainable infrastructure,
soil-structure systems that are efficiently designed and whose performance is
properly assessed, will perform,
operate in a safe and economical way.
Numerical analysis tools that we develop are used to
design, construct and maintain sustainable infrastructure.
This applies to buildings, bridges, dams, power plants,
tunnels, roadways...

Graduate Recruiting and Visitors:
We are actively recruiting students
to work on further development and use of the
Real-ESSI Simulator System.
Long term funding for students is available through a number of funded
projects.
PhD level students are preferred, however MS students are also considered
if they plan to follow their MS with a PhD.
It would be very beneficial if potential students have a good knowledge and a
strong interest in two or more of the following areas:
-
Finite element method, including static and dynamic, elastic and elastic-plastic,
single or two phase, coupled/saturated and unsaturated materials
-
Deterministic and probabilistic mechanics
-
Parallel, high performance computing, including dynamic computational load balancing,
template metaprograms, etc.
-
Programming languages, including development of Domain Specific Languages,
for example our own FEI, and advanced development and use of C++, C,
Python, etc.
A very important attribute of a potential student is a strong willingness
and capability to master some of the above topics. Of course, we will provide
significant help, guidance and expertise in that endeavor.
Interested students are invited to do two things:
-
Apply to our graduate program through a UCD web site. A completed
graduate student application helps us assess academic standing and
research potential of prospective graduate students. The process is
highly competitive and this is the only way of getting on the list of
potential candidates for admission and possible funding.
-
Send me a personal
email, discussing qualification and ideas, with a
caveat described
HERE.
In other words, I am more than willing to read and respond to your
emails, however (!), I need to be able to see your email in an ocean of emails.
Correspondence regarding admissions, ranking questions, etc. should be
directed to our Graduate Program Coordinator, Dr. Lauren Worrell
(lkworrell@ucdavis.edu).
Short or long term visits by researchers, students and post-doctoral fellows are
only considered based on recommendations by our collaborators and colleagues.
