The lab builds mathematical models of phenomena in solid materials, with the aim of designing new materials.

AboutAbout the lab
Solid Mechanics × Materials Science
The Mathematical Solid Mechanics Lab builds mathematical models of the many nonlinear, multiscale, and multiphysics phenomena that occur in solid materials. Its aim is to predictively design solid materials with new functions, as well as processing methods controlled at the atomic level.
The research overview page is divided into topics such as deformation and strength of materials, dislocation modeling, diffusion modeling, constitutive models, computational methods, structural materials, nanostructures, and amorphous materials.
The department's introduction lists keywords such as modeling of deformation, fracture, and corrosion behavior of materials, and the prediction and design of the mechanical properties of materials using AI and data science.
On the lab's website, it is presented under the name Ogata Lab.
Key terms
- Nonlinearity
- A property in which the result is not proportional to the cause, such as when force and deformation are not proportional.
- Multiscale and multiphysics
- Occurring across scales of different sizes, with multiple physical phenomena interacting.
- Mathematical model
- A representation of a phenomenon in terms of mathematical equations or rules on a computer.
