    Lab: Advanced Aerospace Materials Simulation (AAMS)
    Director: Prof. Qingda Yang
    Description: The AAMS lab is focused on developing high-fidelity analysis capabilities for virtual designing and testing of advanced aerospace materials such as fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) and high-temperature resisting ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). We use a combination of experimental techniques and numerical simulations to achieve this goal. In particular, we have developed the Augmented Finite Element Method (A-FEM) to account for the multiscale, discrete damage evolution processes in such materials. The A-FEM are being used by our sponsors (ARL, AFOSR, NASA, Teledyne, and Boeing) as a major investigation tool for their new material and structural research.
