Visiting Fellow and Host

Fellow: Professor David Steigmann, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Berkeley

Host: Professor Georges Limbert, Associate Professor,?Engineering?and the Environment

Aims of the collaboration

• To develop expertise and increased research into theories appropriate to describe and predict surface instabilities in multi-layer structures, such as biological membranes and engineering thin film systems.
• To propose novel theories and computational techniques based on peridynamics theory and its variants
• To explore the role of material anistotropy on wrinkling instabilities with particular focus on multi-layered biological structures
• To establish an international network of researchers in these topics.
