Discussion of fracture paper #37 - A Novel Approach Improving Mode I+III Cohesive Zone Modelling

Submitted by ESIS on

The advantage of simplicity is that mechanics and physics can be understood and predicted just by using pen and paper. In the end, numerics may have to be used but then you should already have a pretty good idea of what happens. The other way around, starting with numerics and a limited toolbox of models will seldom lead to anything new.

Uncovering stress fields and defects distributions in graphene using deep neural networks

Submitted by Nuwan Dewapriya on

 

In our latest article, “Uncovering stress fields and defects distributions in graphene using deep neural networks”: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10704-023-00704-z , we showed that conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) could transform complex deformation fields into stress fields by eliminating the need to evaluate elasticity distributions and develop complex nonlinear constitutive relations.

Post-doc Groningen / Atomistic Modelling Hydrogen Embrittlement in Steels

Submitted by Francesco Maresca on

For the DeHy project awarded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) on hydrogen embrittlement of steels, a post-doc position for the period of one year is available. In this project, University of Groningen and the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with TU Delft, are partnering to unravel the fundamental origin of hydrogen embrittlement by a multi-scale modelling approach.
