Kaunas University of Technology
Numerical modelling of physical behaviour by the finite element method
Professor in the Applied Informatics Department. Numerical modelling, finite element methods, and research into wave propagation and the mechanics of textile materials.
The work covers ballistic impact on textile structures, heat and moisture exchange in multilayer packages, ultrasonic wave propagation, damping in MEMS resonators and problems in biomechanics. This site collects the publications, research projects, textbooks and taught modules.
