Abstract :
In recent years, computational methods are well suited for modeling materials and structures undergoing fracture and damage. However, researchers usually pay too much attention to the mathematical problems instead of the engineering problems during the development of the computational methods. This presentation discusses the concept of engineering oriented computational methods. Starting from the proposed concept of engineering oriented computational methods, systematic analytical models and numerical schemes are developed for the subtle numerical simulation of reinforced concrete structures. Numbers of cases for the RC structure subjected to extreme loadings and events are shown and discussed. The proposed methods are also extended to the simulation of bio-mechanical problems, such as indentation of trabecular bones.
Short Biography :
Xiaodan Ren received his Ph.D. from Tongji University in 2011. He is currently an associate professor of structural engineering at School of Civil Engineering, Tongji University. Dr. Ren has co-authored more than 50 academic papers, while 22 of them have been published on the decent international academic journals. He is also PI of two research projects granted by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. He has won two Second Prizes for Science &Technology Achievement awarded by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of Shanghai, respectively. The damage model developed by him has been adopted by the design code of concrete structures in China and has been applied to the design and analysis of more than 50 high rise buildings. He has supervised 2 PhD Thesis and 5 Master Thesis.
