The CPME Lab at IIT Bombay focuses on physics-driven research in computational mechanics of materials, with an emphasis on fundamental mechanisms governing failure and degradation. The lab develops phase-field theory–based mechanistic models for fracture, corrosion, hydrogen-assisted damage, stress corrosion cracking, and interface evolution, firmly grounded in continuum mechanics and thermodynamics. These models are realised through carefully designed numerical formulations and scalable high-performance simulations that enable the study of complex, multi-physics processes at engineering-relevant scales. By prioritising physical consistency, mathematical rigour, and systematic validation, CPME lab advances reliable predictive frameworks that deepen scientific understanding and support the design and assessment of durable material systems.
