Dmitry Vysochinskiy

Dmitry Vysochinskiy is an Associate Professor in Structural Engineering at the University of Agder (Norway), holding a part-time position at Østfold University College. He specializes in structural engineering, with a focus on material characterization, plasticity, and finite element modeling. His research includes additive manufacturing (AM) materials, metal plasticity, and experimental analysis of mechanical properties.

Education: PhD in Structural Engineering (NTNU, 2014), M.Sc. in Structural Engineering (Chalmers University, 2008), and a Civil Engineer Diploma (Kaliningrad State Technical University, 2006).

Research Interests: Mechanics and strength of materials, fracture mechanics, explicit non-linear finite element modeling, materials anisotropy, and structural analysis. He is affiliated with research groups in Building Structures and Materials for Construction.

Teaching: Courses at PhD, master’s, and bachelor’s levels, including Non-linear Finite Element Methods, Materials in Civil Engineering, and High Performance Materials. Previously taught Structural Mechanics and Materials Science at both UiA and Østfold University College.

Recent Work: Focus on 3D-printed concrete mixes, mechanical properties of AM materials (e.g., AlSi10Mg, stainless steel), and vehicle crashworthiness modeling. Over 30 peer-reviewed publications, including studies on fracture-based fragility curves and crash simulation techniques.
