Michael Ballard

Michael Ballard

Keith Ballard is a member of the Composites Performance Research Team. He has architected and collaboratively developed a new finite element framework that is designed for scalable discrete damage modeling (SPAWC) and led the development of a new XFEM approach that supports complex crack interactions (HHE). Presently, he is leading development of several computational tools in AFRL/RX, including SPAWC.
