Aerospace Systems Health Monitoring and Diagnostics
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an emerging function/objectives in designing tomorrow’s aerospace structures and other dependent sub-systems. Non-destructive evaluation based inspection of structures are indispensible method of monitoring structural health which forms the foundation of aerospace transportation safety and vehicular operations today. Based …
Signal and Data Science
Following are the topical problems of interest under the broad category of multiscale modeling and simulation arising from spatial-temporal signal processing, imaging and the associated problem of data representation, data compression and model-order reduction. Most of these methods are actually quite well established methods used for material structure-property correlation. …

Finite Element MethodEnriched field interpolation schemes in finite element in general and its application in spectral finite element method for modeling high frequency elastic wave propagation development of eXtended finite element scheme in time and frequency domains with higher-order spatial field interpolations are being developed. Modeling high frequency elastic …
Bio-Materials and Therapeutics in Bio-Systems and Space Applications
Understanding the structural and functional behavior of biological materials is key to designing better bio-compatible systems such as implant, implantable sensors, therapeutic methods and wearable devices for various enabling functions. Understanding of how biological materials evolve and self-organize is also important in engineering better materials. Behavior of biological materials …
Opto-Electro-Mechanical Materials and Devices
Nano-electronic, nano-photonic, piezoelectric and piezomagnetic materials show strongly coupled and often nonlinear behavior. Design of devices based on these material systems aims to utilize the nano/micro-scale, nonlinear and strongly correlated effects to enhance various aspects of performance and expand various functional scopes. Understanding fundamental processes involved in fabricating such …
Lighter, Stronger, Thermally and Electromagnetically Shielded Composite Materials
Nanostructures and nanostructured composite form of materials have physical properties, which are most often very different from their bulk form. Often in Nature, this type of nanostructured materials gives rise to important properties in earth and planetary structural consolidation and natural living species. Understanding these processes and ways to …
