About Per

Per Isaksson is Professor of Solid Mechanics in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Division of Applied Mechanics, at Uppsala University within the Engineering discipline. His research focuses on computational solid mechanics, particularly phase-field modeling of fracture in heterogeneous materials under dynamic and quasi-static loading conditions. Key areas include multiscale modeling of trabecular bone fractures, dynamic crack propagation in rock-like materials, damage mechanisms in lithium-ion batteries, and mechanical behavior of fiber-based composites and additively manufactured lattices. Isaksson employs advanced numerical methods, such as finite element simulations coupled with high-speed imaging and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar experiments, to bridge experimental observations with predictive models. He has led multiple projects funded by the Swedish Research Council, including "Bone Dynamics" (2026–2029), "Multiscale modeling of dynamic bone fractures" (grant 2016-04608, 3,800,000 SEK), and "Modeling of dynamic deformations in fiber based materials" (2011–2013). As a project member, he contributes to investigations on nanomechanics of tribofilms in extreme conditions (grant 2016-05460_VR, 3,600,000 SEK).
