Abstract Simulating the mechanical behavior of materials with complex microstructures has been a longstanding challenge in the field of computational mechanics. This presentation by Dr. Soheil Soghrati will introduce a new mesh generation algorithm, named Conforming to Interface Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (CISAMR), for creating high fidelity finite element models of such problems. CISAMR transforms…
