Numerical modelling
I have worked extensively in numerical modelling areas. During my doctoral research work in Yokohama National University, my research was in numerical and analytical methods for solution of structural problems. It was mainly based on constitutive modelling of concrete using the rigid body spring model system, based on the concept of finite element and discrete element modelling. The work consisted of developing a constitutive model using Fortran programming to study the propagation of cracks in concrete, considered to be a heterogeneous medium.
