Main research activity:

  1. reliability analysis of the steel structures using the recommendations of Eurocode 0;
  2. development of implementations of the Stochastic Finite Element Method using the Promoters programs, and also using the FEM systems ROBOT & ABAQUS;
  3. computer modeling of the effective properties of the fiber-reinforced and particulate composites with random parameters;
  4. stochastic computer analysis of elastomeric, hyper-elastic and elasto-plastic materials;
  5. application of the computer algebra system MAPLE and programming language Python for software development of probabilistic and stochastic analysis;
  6. application of the Monte-Carlo simulation techniques and of the semianalytical methods in analysis of engineering materials and structures with random parameters;
  7. applications for the students concerning structural reliability, durability and also for structural optimization.

 

Current research:

  1. determination of probabilistic entropy in civil engineering structures and in hyper-elasic as well as elasto-plastic materials with material and geometrical imperfections;
  2. application of probabilistic entropy in reliability analysis and increasing for civil engineering structures;
  3. reliability analysis of civil engineering structures with random parameters and under stochastic dynamic excitation using the Second Order Reliability Method (SORM);
  4. computer implementations of the stochastic numerical techniques with the use of the FEM systems ROBOT and ABAQUS;
