Materials Prognosis from Integrated Modeling & Experiment (M’) Lab

Research Scope
The M’ Lab researches emergent structural and material prognosis issues that involve the multiscale and stochastic nature of plasticity and fatigue cracking in structural materials. The research objective of the group is to leverage the ever-increasing capabilities in experimental observation and data analysis tools to provide new capabilities for prognosing reliability of advanced engineered structures and materials.
Open Source Software
The M' Lab contributes to the open-source code, Bingo.
  • Bingo is an open source package for performing symbolic regression, though it can be used as a general purpose evolutionary optimization package. Go to the Bingo github page.
