What Do Large Language Models Know About Materials?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
If large language models (LLMs) are to be used inside the material discovery and engineering process, they must be benchmarked for the accurateness of intrinsic material knowledge. The current work introduces 1) a reasoning process through the processing–structure–property–performance chain and 2) a tool for benchmarking knowledge of LLMs concerning ...

Wmic-GMTS and Wmic-GMERR criteria for micron-scale crack propagation in red-bed soft rocks under hydraulic action

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Micron-scale crack propagation in red-bed soft rocks under hydraulic action is a common cause of engineering disasters due to damage to the hard rock–soft rock–water interface.

Earthquake Disasters and Earthquake Engineering in Japan

open access: yesJournal of Disaster Research, 2006
Major earthquakes occur somewhere every year with accompanying devastations. For example, the center of the city of Managua was destroyed completely in December 1972 with the loss of more than 15,000 lives. Government buildings also did not escape destruction which brought about a paralysis in Governmental functioning for a short time.

Hybrid Auxetic Architectures: Integrating Curvature‐Driven Design for Enhanced Mechanical Tunability and Structural Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Curvature‐tuned auxetic lattices are designed, fabricated, and mechanically characterized to reveal how geometric curvature governs stretchability, stress redistribution, and Poisson's ratio evolution. Photoelastic experiments visualize stress pathways, while hyperelastic simulations quantify deformation mechanics.

Numerical Investigation of Very-Large-Scale Motions in a Turbulent Boundary Layer for Different Roughness

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Wall-model large eddy simulations (WMLES) are conducted to investigate the spatial features of large-scale and very-large-scale motions (LSMs and VLSMs) in turbulent boundary flow in different surface roughnesses at a very high Reynolds number, O (106 ...
