ABOUT
Welcome to the Materials Mechanics Lab.
The Materials Mechanics Laboratory (MAMEL) at Seoul National University aim to quantitatively understand and predict the mechanical behavior of materials, including deformation, damage, and bonding.
By integrating continuum mechanics-based theoretical modeling, precision experiments, and numerical analysis, we contribute to the development of advanced materials and process technologies.
Our core research areas include crystal plasticity, ductile fracture, microstructure evolution, and multiscale computational modeling.
We are also expanding our work to cover various material systems relevant to industry, such as advanced high-strength steels, lightweight metals, battery and semiconductor materials.
