research overview

  • Dr. Regueiro's research focuses on computational multiscale multiphysics materials modeling for simulating inelastic deformation and failure in heterogeneous porous media, including saturated and partially saturated soils and rock, unbonded particulate materials (e.g., sand, gravel, or metallic powders), bonded particulate materials (e.g., sandstone, asphalt, concrete, ceramics, energetic materials, ...), soft biological tissues (e.g., ocular lens tissue, lung parenchyma), and thin deformable porous materials and membranes, for instance. Scales of interest range from the microstructural and histological to the continuum.

Teaching

courses taught

  • CVEN 3718 - Geotechnical Engineering 2
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2018
    Covers stress analysis and plastic equilibrium, sheer strength of soil, bearing capacity, lateral earth pressures, slope stability and underground construction. Analysis and design of shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls and other earth and rock structures. Selected experimental and computational laboratories.
  • CVEN 4511 - Introduction to Finite Element Analysis
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2019 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2024
    Covers systematic formulation of finite element approximation and isoparametric interpolation (weighted residual and energy methods, triangular and quadrilateral elements). Includes computation applications to the solution of one- and two-dimensional stress-deformation problems and steady and transient heat conduction. Same as CVEN 5511.
  • CVEN 4899 - Civil Engineering Senior Project Design
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2020 / Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023
    Provides a simulated real world design and construction planning experience where teams integrate across multiple civil engineering sub-disciplines to create a solution that satisfies multiple constraints, including design, client requirements, budget, schedule, technical, regulatory, and societal. Final deliverables include: detailed design drawings, specifications, cost estimate, project schedule, construction plan, oral and written presentation.
