2. Development of new finite element techniques for efficient modeling of laminated composite sandwich and smart structures based on higher order refined theories.
3. Numerical simulation of high velocity ballistic impact response of laminated composite and sandwich panels.
4. Development of a fully coupled efficient beam model for thin-walled open and closed section laminated composite beams.
5. Numerical modeling of concrete and ultra-high performance concrete members and determination of their load distributions.
6. Micromechanics-based coupled damage plasticity model for progressive failure analysis of laminated composite structures.
7. Analytical and finite element model of steel concrete composite beams based on higher order theories in linear and nonlinear ranges.
