Research Laboratory of Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures - MAMS

Main Research Direction

Analysis of the mechanical behavior of advanced materials and structures at macro, micro, and nano scales, for example, complex-shaped shell/sheet structures made from nanomaterials, strongly anisotropic nanocomposites, materials with varying mechanical properties, piezoelectric materials, and materials based on low-dimensional structures, etc.
