Research

Tire mechanics, multi-physics FEA, and operator-based modeling, with an emphasis on structural stiffness and thermodynamics.

Tire Mechanics & Rolling Resistance

Structural design of OTR and passenger tires under realistic duty cycles: inflation–deflection, rolling resistance, and durability.

Nonlinear FEA Framework

A modular FEA framework for large deformation elastomers, contact, and multi-level solvers, built around the Augmented Lagrange method.

Operator-Theoretic Modeling (Rᵀ–L–S)

An operator-based language for PDE modeling and solver design: restriction, laws, and solvers as a unified structure.

Thermo-Mechanical & Viscoelasticity

Energy-based models for hysteresis, temperature fields, and entropy generation in rolling tires.

Papers & PDFs

This section will gradually collect formal papers, whitepapers, and technical notes. Files will be grouped by topic with short summaries.

Note: This site is a work in progress. Earlier drafts and working notes may be reorganized as the research program evolves.
