Simulations can be carried out on the structural scale when the response of a structure to various loading conditions, including impact and fatigue, can be assessed.  This is often described as 'virtual testing'.  Despite the power of such simulations, which can include parametric investigations and optimisations, we believe that virtual testing must always be validated by experimental investigations.  Further simulations on the micro or nano scales can be carried out to explore and optimise microstructures and architectures of advanced materials. 

The main interest includes, but not limited to, stress analysis, thermoelectrical analysis, heat transfer analysis, meshless method and boundary element method for failure analysis, etc.
