About
Remigijus Kutas is a leading researcher in structural engineering, with a primary focus on the numerical modeling and non-linear behavior of slender, flexible structures—particularly masts and towers. His work addresses the critical challenge of accurately simulating the deformable behavior of these tall, lightly loaded structures, which are highly susceptible to geometric non-linearities and dynamic wind effects. Kutas’s major contribution lies in his rigorous analysis of the peculiarities inherent in applying specialized computer-aided design (CAD) packages to such problems. His most cited paper, “MAST BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS AND PECULIARITIES OF NUMERICAL MODELLING” (2008, 12 citations), serves as a foundational study that benchmarks the performance of widely used computational tools like STAADpro and Robot Millennium. By solving a test mast problem with these packages, he provided critical insights into their accuracy and limitations for non-linear analysis, directly informing best practices for structural engineers in Lithuania and beyond. This work has had a tangible impact on the design and safety assessment of communication and transmission towers, establishing Kutas as a key authority on the intersection of theoretical structural mechanics and practical computational modeling.
