👋 Hi, I’m Riichi Sugai!
I’m a researcher in computational mechanics, focusing on development of implicit material point method (MPM) addressing plasticity at finite strain and stabilization for nearly incompressible materials.
🎓 Research Interests
- Implicit Material Point Method (MPM) under large deformation
- Stabilization for nearly incompressible hyperelasticity and plasticity
- Gradient-enhanced damage model such as the crack phase-field model
- High performance computing (HPC)
🧩 Current Work
I’m currently developing a stabilized mixed formulation for implicit MPM for suppressing pressure oscillations.
Next, I’ll try to simulate soil-structure interaction problems.
