Department of Mechanics
• Implementation of advanced continuum models, based on gradient or non-local theories for micro/nano structures utilized in MEMS/NEMS devices.
• Metamaterials: modelling, analysis and optimal design
• Development of progressive computational methods, such as Mixed FEM, Moving Finite Element (MFE) Method and other meshless methods for solution of complex boundary value problems associated with micro/nano structures
