Research Interests:
Steve Crouch's research interests are in the area of boundary element methods applied to problems in geomechanics and composite materials. His current projects include development of boundary integral methods for: (i) modeling elastic and viscoelastic materials with numerous inhomogeneities and voids, and (ii) transient heat conduction and theroelasticity for nonhomogenous materials.
