At MCML, we concentrate our efforts to bringing understanding to nonlinear mechanical response of materials and structures through multi-scale computational modeling and simulation. Our research involves computational characterization of the failure response of heterogeneous systems that involve multiple temporal and spatial scales subjected to extreme and\/or dynamic loading conditions, and development of enabling computational methodologies. <\/p>\n<p><i>Prospective graduate students:<\/i> Please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.vanderbilt.edu\/cee\/\">Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.vanderbilt.edu\/\">School of Engineering<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/gradschool.vanderbilt.edu\/\">Graduate School<\/a> to learn more about the graduate programs at Vanderbilt University.
