Activities
Dr. Sudak's research is centered around mechanical and mathematical aspects of elastic solids, in particular, the modeling and analysis of interphase layer damage (due to debonding, sliding and cracking) in composite materials and the prediction of stress fields. These types of problems are related to elastic inhomogeneities embedded within materials with different elastic properties. Here, the ensuing boundary value problems are analyzed using either complex variable techniques or integral equation methods.
