The shift from test base to simulation base design environment requires accurate, robust, and efficient computer codes, which model large displacements and length and time-scale mechanics. For challenging engineering simulation problems, this research employs advanced concepts in solid mechanics by using new fundamental equations for structures undergoing nonlinear large displacement. Effects of large displacement, and large rotations are included in the compatibility equations. New algorithms will be developed which will be robust, reliable, efficient and scalable on parallel computing platforms. The results from this analysis will be compared with actual data already obtained from the experiments. Such a comparison will validate and otherwise support the development of above computational technology.
