Structural Materials and Strength Laboratory (SMSL) places "optimization" at the core of its research philosophy.
Building upon solid mechanics as a fundamental axis, we develop multiphysics design theories that integrate fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and other interacting physical phenomena. We address complex systems in which solids, fluids, heat transfer, and electrochemical reactions are strongly coupled, advancing rigorous physics-based mathematical modeling alongside high-fidelity computational methods.
A distinctive strength of our laboratory lies in the unified treatment of topology optimization, shape optimization, and process optimization. We aim to establish a comprehensive optimization framework that spans the entire lifecycle of mechanical systems, from design and manufacturing to operation and end-of-life considerations. By further incorporating machine learning and data-driven methodologies, we extend our research to production system optimization, quality assurance, reliability assessment, and auditing processes.
Through the construction of an integrated optimization platform that bridges theory, computation, data, and multiphysics modeling, we strive to create next-generation mechanical systems and high-performance devices that contribute to sustainable societal development.
