C. Anthony Tran

C. Anthony Tran is concluding his doctoral research on the modelling of damage in masonry structures.

His studies were centered on computational mechanics, including mathematical modelling tools (functional analysis: Sobolev spaces, PDEs), mechanical models (Cauchy continua, beam models, incompressible Navier-Stokes), and numerical methods and programming (finite difference, element, volume; Fortran).

His current research interests include variational approaches (least action, virtual work, ...) to model elastic, plastic and damaging behaviours, whether through a discrete or continuous description (generalised continua).

During the academic years 2022/23 and 2023/24 he was the tutor for the Statics and Strength of materials courses of the bachelor degree course in Architecture and Design Sciences at the Department of Architecture, Design and Urban Planning of the University of Sassari.
