Scalable dynamical inference of phase-field fracture from sparse and partial measurements

Hanfeng Zhai, Zisheng Zhang

Evolving crack fields in structural health monitoring and fracture assessment must often be inferred from sparse mechanical measurements rather than dense full-field observations.…

A convolutional neural network surrogate for hierarchical homogenization: fast elastic moduli prediction of digital rocks

Hanfeng Zhai, Rasool Ahmad, Tapan Mukerji +1

Digital rock physics (DRP) aims to estimate effective rock properties (e.g., elastic moduli) directly from 3D micro-CT images. However, direct numerical simulations (DNS) on high-r…

Learning Interatomic Force Coefficients from X-ray Thermal Diffuse Scattering Data

Klara Suchan, Shaswat Mohanty, Hanfeng Zhai +1

We present a fully automated framework for extracting interatomic force constants (IFCs) directly from X-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) data. By formulating scattering intens…

Atomistic and data-driven insights into the local slip resistances in random refractory multi-principal element alloys

Wu-Rong Jian, Arjun S. Kulathuvayal, Hanfeng Zhai +5

Refractory multi-principal element alloys (RMPEAs) have attracted growing interest for their exceptional high-temperature strength, yet their complex compositions hinder a mechanis…

Link Statistics of Dislocation Network during Strain Hardening

Sh. Akhondzadeh, Hanfeng Zhai, Wurong Jian +3

Dislocations are line defects in crystals that multiply and self-organize into a complex network during strain hardening. The length of dislocation links, connecting neighboring no…
