Singular curved edges in 3-D linear elasticity –  constitutive laws for arteries – simulating the mechanical response using hp-finite element methods – Simulating the mechanical response of femurs with implants and humerii – Mechanical properties of pultruted composites

At the Experimental Biomechanics Laboratory we perform experiments on bones and arteries in active and passive states.

We also investigate failure initiation in metallic and brittle materials and pultrusions (unidirectional composites).
