Primary research interests are related to the computational modeling and simulation (rational mechanics formulation, computational implementation, practical applications) of static and dynamic inelastic behavior of engineering solids and structures with emphasis on geomechanics. Focus is on the development and use of methods that reduce Kolmogorov complexity and modeling uncertainty. In particular, current work is on:
- Computational geomechanics (statics and dynamics) including effects of deterministic and probabilistic
- Elasto-plasticity, large deformation and coupling of solids and fluids
- High performance (sequential and parallel) computer simulations in geomechanics
- Earthquake Soil Structure Interaction
- Models, software systems, simulations and visualization in mechanics
