Prof. Andrew McBride
Professor

Andrew's research focuses on simulating the behaviour of nonlinear materials, both biological and fabricated. Of particular interest are continuum theories that account for scale-dependence in plasticity and elasticity. The approximation of these theories using high-quality finite element tools is critically important for prediction. Research areas include phase-field modelling of fracture in polycrystals, biomechanics, surface elasticity, and discrete element modelling of granular flow.
