Computations for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Laboratory (CAMML)

About CAMML

Welcome to the homepage of the Computations for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Wyoming! At CAMML, our efforts focus on developing computational tools to understand how materials respond and evolve during their lifespans, from manufacturing to service and eventually failure. We concentrate our efforts to understand 1) how certain manufacturing process affect the microstructure; 2) what is the relevant deformation mechanisms at the material microscale associated with a certain microstructure; 3) once fabricated into structural components, how the structures behave when subjected to various loading conditions.

RECENT NEWS

February 20, CAMML is awarded the prestigious NSF CAREER Award, entitled "CAREER: Multiscale Reduced Order Modeling and Design to Elucidate the Microstructure-Property-Performance Relationship of Hybrid Composite Materials". This award will allow his team to leverage the multiscale modeling and design expertise at CAMML, and partner with the ME department, SoC, ARCC, WyrkShop, Idaho National Laboratory and industry partners, to conduct a series fully integrated research, ecuation, outreach and workforce development in the next five years. Congratulations!
