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 structure behave when subjected to various loading conditions.
