Eric Fahrenthold

Professor

Temple Foundation Endowed Faculty Fellowship No. 2

Department Research Areas

Computational Engineering

Research Interests

Multiscale modeling and computational materials design, including the development of numerical methods and codes for multiphysics simulation.

Bio

Dr. Fahrenthold's research interests are in the areas of system dynamics, impact dynamics, and material modeling. He has developed a variety of thermodynamically consistent, energy based, multiphysics modeling methods for nonlinear materials and systems. This work has included formulations in Lagrangian, Eulerian, and Arbitrary- Lagrangian frames and has employed finite element, particle, and hybrid particle-element kinematics. His research includes parallel code development and supercomputer based simulation of model validation experiments.
