Mechanics of Advanced Materials Laboratory

We are a research group in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University under the direction of Professor Raman P. Singh. Our research interests are in the broad area of the mechanics of advanced materials, with an emphasis on the development of advanced materials with controlled microstructure, and the development and application of novel experimental techniques to characterize the behavior of these materials.

Current materials of interest include polymer nanocomposites, carbon fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites, amorphous and nanocrystalline ceramics, and bio-material based composites. We are also developing nanoindentation based techniques for characterization of polymers and biological materials. While our research is primarily experimental in nature, complementary analysis and computation are pursued to support and interpret the experimental observations.
