研究兴趣
Dr Issen’s research interests fall within the field of solid mechanics, and materials and include: 1) Constitutive modeling of natural and manufactured heterogeneous and/or anisotropic materials and 2) Investigation of bifurcation phenomena and instability problems. 研究 currently focuses on high porosity materials: sandstone, 金属泡沫, honeycombs and cancellous bone. 理论, experimental and computational approaches are employed to develop a fundamental understanding of the deformation behaviors of each material individually and of porous materials in general. Current work includes characterization and modeling of the onset, interaction and propagation of localized and diffuse instabilities. 研究 goals are to: 1) establish connections between material micro/mesostructure and macrostructural behavior and express these connections in constitutive models; and 2) develop theoretical frameworks to model the instability behaviors observed in porous materials with diverse micro/mesostructures.
