Research interests
Laurence’s research focuses on the development of advanced models and computational models that are useful to understand and predict the mechanical behaviour of engineering materials. The general objective of her research is to elucidate the complex relationships between microstructure and macroscopic properties. Understanding these relationships is essential for the rational design of advanced materials and structures in many engineering fields.
Laurence’s research relies primarily on continuum mechanics, thermodynamics and applied mathematics. Her main areas of interest include:
- Micromechanics, multiscale modelling, homogenisation theory
- Constitutive modelling (elasticity, plasticity, large deformations)
- Multiphysics couplings in materials (diffusion and chemical reactions coupled to deformations)
- Computational mechanics
Her current projects focus on the chemo-mechanics of biodegradable polymers, the constitutive modelling of rubberlike materials, and the mechanics of energy storage materials.
