Dr Zahur Ullah

School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

My research interests are broadly in computational mechanics. I have developed adaptively coupled finite element-meshless methods for the solution of nonlinear problems. I have also developed advanced-level finite element based multi-scale and multi-physics models for the prediction of long-term performance of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Moreover, I have expertise in computational contact mechanics and computational fracture mechanics.
