Welcome to Lin Research Group. Our research focuses on the development of advanced mathematical theories that are useful to understand and predict the mechanical behavior of a broad range of materials, from smart materials and composites to polymers. The general objective of our research is to elucidate the complex relationships between microstructure and macroscopic properties. Understanding these relationships is essential for the rational design of advanced composite materials and structures in many engineering fields.

 

Lin Research Group‘s research relies primarily on continuum mechanics, thermodynamics and applied mathematics. Their main areas of interest include:

• Micromechanics, multiscale modeling, homogenization theory

• Constitutive modeling (elasticity, viscoelasticity, large deformations)

• Multiphysics couplings in materials

• Computational mechanics

• Eshelby inclusion problems
