Computational analysis of structural integrity requires analytical and numerical formulations dedicated to modeling behavior in a failure regime. This regime may involve the evolution in isolated or combined modes of brittle/ductile, diffuse or concentrated damage, followed by the nucleation and propagation of discrete, single or multiple cracks. In this context, this project adheres to a…
This research project focus on new developments and improvements of numerical methods devoted to the simulation of nonlinear, discontinuous and multi-scale problems. The Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) and fracture/damage mechanics based approaches are combined aiming at the development of an accurate and robust numerical tool for nonlinear structural analysis accounting for mult…

The use of numerical methods to solve complex computational mechanics problems has become essential, since the existence of exact solutions to most problems, which often involve coupled formulations, is limited. The Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) is the alternative explored in this investigation. It is a Galerkin method that proposes the generation of numerical approximations by…
This research project is related to the development of robust formulations in the field of numerical methods for the analysis of complex problems that include non-linear effects at different scales, time dependent responses and multi-physics coupled phenomena. The methodology adopted is aimed at the development of a formulation for the Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM) that is effi…
Recently, the research project titled Computational Toolkit to Nonlinear Analysis of Solid and Structures by the Generalized Finite Element Method was proposed by the supervisor of the current project and received the FAPESP approval. The computational toolkit will be written by using PYTHON language and object oriented programming. The current post-doctorate project aims to provide compl…

Fracture is the main cause of failure in most engineering structures. However, predicting the initiation and propagation of cracks in materials and structures remains a significant challenge in the mechanics of solids. Applying conventional numerical-computational tools to this class of problems, for example the Finite Element Method (FEM), can prove to be quite challenging or even imposs…
This research project is part of the main PhD grant (FAPESP process number 2019/00435-3), and it is related to the tasks and activities to be developed by the PhD student during the internship period at UIUC (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - USA), under the supervision of Prof. C. Armando Duarte. Three-dimensional (3-D) simulations are often required to solve complex problems …
Damage and crack evolution processes are among the cause of the so-called physical nonlinear response of materials. Fatigue failure is a possible consequence of these phenomena and it needs to be prevented when designing structural components such as columns in bridges or ribs and spars in airplane wings. This project is therefore linked to one among the world wide broad core research act…
