Thesis Topic
Multi-Scale Morphology-Informed Constitutive Models using AI-Derived Correlations.
Farzad’s thesis investigates how multiscale morphological characteristics of granular materials influence their static and dynamic mechanical properties. The study involves an extensive micro-mechanical characterization of natural and synthetic materials. Various macro-scale mechanical properties are also determined using advanced testing methods such as stress path triaxial and true triaxial tests. The research will then use Artificial Intelligence approach to incorporate multiscale morphological data into constitutive models for improved material behavior prediction.
