Shintaku Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores how materials fracture, using both simulation and experiments.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading how cracks propagate through computation.
The Shintaku Lab studies how cracks in materials propagate and lead to failure, through both numerical simulation and experiments.
The lab develops methods that use state-of-the-art simulation technology to calculate crack propagation, and aims to clarify the mechanisms of fracture by comparing results with experiments.
Its research extends from such fundamental work to applying it to evaluating the durability of actual structures.
Alongside advances in computational mechanics and fracture mechanics, the lab also works on multiscale analysis based on probability theory and statistical mechanics.
Key terms
- Crack
- A thin fissure that forms in a material. If it grows, the material or structure fails
- Multiscale analysis
- Analysis that connects scales of different sizes, from the fine internal structure of a material to the whole structural member
- Residual load-carrying capacity
- The magnitude of load that a deteriorated or damaged structure can still support
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates how materials break, through both numerical simulation and experiments, with the aim of connecting the findings to evaluation of the strength and durability of structures. Its scope runs from developing computational methods that handle crack initiation through propagation, to application to real structures.
