Origami folds

Homogenization process from [Lebée et al, 2017]

Collaboration with P. Plucinsky and I. Tobasco on origami folds with applications in material science to study metamaterials. 

The homogenization process above was introduced in [Lebée et al, 2017]. It leads to a system of constrained nonlinear PDEs. I work on proving existence and uniqueness of the solutions of those PDEs and on developing numerical methods to approximate them.

Phase-Field for fracture

3 point bending test


Using non conformal discretizations to improve the efficiency of phase-field computations for fracture. Collaboration with B. Bourdin.
