Abstract – Computational mechanics plays a vital role in predicting and optimizing material behavior and structural performance. However, challenges remain in accurately modeling complex material responses, integrating experimental and numerical results, and advancing simulation-driven design to meet industrial demands.
This lecture will explore advancements in material characterization, finite element modeling of sheet metal forming, metal joining, and packaging material failure, highlighting how computational approaches drive structural integrity, manufacturing efficiency, and sustainability. Finally, I will discuss a vision of data-driven simulations transforming modern manufacturing and engineering innovation.
Biography – Dr. Shafiqul Islam is an Assistant Professor (Universitetslektor) at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), specializing in computational mechanics.
