Biography

Andrey Jivkov is a Professor of Solid Mechanics in the School of Engineering. His research is driven by the needs to understand better and predict in-service performance of engineering materials. This involves a range of topics, such as damage, fracture, mass transport and environmental degradation of metallic, quasi-brittle, and composite materials. The work is focused on the analysis of coupled problems using microstructure- and mechanisms-informed models. He works with several, length scale appropriate, modelling techniques, founded on different representations of materials systems - discrete topology (e.g., MD, peridynamics), smooth/continuous topology (e.g., FEM, FDM), and his original cellular topology.

Research interests

  • Multiple-scale modelling of the mechanical behaviour of solids
  • Multi-physics modelling of materials degradation
  • Deformation and transport properties of porous/fractured media
  • Fracture and Damage Mechanics
  • Structural integrity assessment
  • Computational Solid and Structural Mechanics
