Nonlinear analysis of structures, Simulation of hysteretic response of metal, reinforced concrete and composite structures, Simulation of structural response under extreme loading conditions, Development of instructional software
Flippou’s research focuses on developing simulation models for the response of structural components of reinforced concrete, steel, and steel-concrete composite structures under extreme loading conditions. His models are widely used in OpenSEES. He is also the developer of the Matlab toolbox FEDEASLab which is used around the world for teaching and research in the simulation of nonlinear structural response.
