معرفی
Sulata Dhakal is a Doctoral Researcher in the Doctoral Programme in Built Environment, focusing on advanced computational modeling of concrete fracture under dynamic loading conditions. Her work integrates continuum damage mechanics, tensorial analysis, and finite element methods to explore material behavior under extreme conditions.
Research Interests
Dedicated to advancing understanding of concrete fracture mechanisms through mesoscale modeling. Core areas include:
- Concrete Damage Plasticity Theory
- Continuum Damage Modeling
- Dynamic Load Effects on Materials
- Tensorial Representation of Damage Variables
- Numerical Simulation (ABAQUS)
- Failure Surface Analysis
Recent Contributions
Published 2 peer-reviewed works (2024-2025) focusing on mesoscale fracture models. Presented research at the 2024 conference on thermodynamics of gradient regularization in damage models.
Collaborations
Works with Prof. Tapio Saksala and Prof. Raimo Kouhia on fracture mechanics projects. Active in computational mechanics research groups.
