Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a framework bridging the gap between Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). So it drastically reduces the error in [...]

Rock weathering, or the mechanical and chemical breakdown of rock over time, creates the landscape on which all terrestrial life is built. Weathering produces sediment, a[...]

This PhD dissertation focuses on three distinct areas of study: Inconel Alloy 740H,polycrystalline graphene, and tetragraphene (TG). These materials each have their uniqu[...]
