Under the leadership of Professor Mostafa El Sayed, the Aerospace Structures and Materials Engineering Laboratory (ASME-Lab) is an integral research hub within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University. Our primary focus lies in advancing multiscale mechanics of solids and structures, with a mission to develop and optimize high-performance, functionally graded, architected metamaterials and structural systems tailored for aerospace and beyond.
Our innovative research extends to applications in space, automotive, rail, and biomedical engineering, where we leverage expertise in the characterization of advanced materials, material and structural stability, thermo-elastic-plastic and electro-mechanical interactions, structural dynamics, multiscale modeling, aeroelasticity, and structural design optimization.
By integrating experimental work, theoretical analysis, and simulations, we investigate multi-physics responses across various disciplines and length scales, paying special attention to the impacts of aging and manufacturing-induced defects on structural integrity.
Equipped with state-of-the-art experimental facilities, the ASME-Lab collaborates closely with national and international industries and government agencies, continually advancing the frontiers of aerospace and structural engineering.
