Data-driven forward and inverse analysis of two-dimensional soil consolidation using physics-informed neural network by Wang, Yu, Shi, Chao, Shi, Jiangwei, Lu, Hu

“…Employing machine learning algorithms to forecast the behavior of nonlinear spatiotemporal systems, such as soil consolidation induced by land reclamation, has been popular in recent years. Although pure data-driven models demonstrate strong performance within their training domain, i.e., in-sample prediction, they lack interpretability and might have poor generalization outside the training domain, i.e., out-of-sample prediction, particularly when the observed geodata is limited. …”

Clinker-free CaO-activated silica fume as a cementitious binder for pavement application by Pranav, Shreyas, Lahoti, Mukund, Muthukumar, G., Yang, En-Hua

“…The combination of low-volume CaO and high-volume silica fume, particularly as a pavement binder has not been studied in the literature before. The compressive and flexural strength results showed that even by using a small fraction of CaO in the binder, it is possible to obtain acceptable strengths that satisfy ASTM pavement design guidelines, while OPC is unable to provide similar strengths at such low dosage. …”

Phonon stability boundary and deep elastic strain engineering of lattice thermal conductivity by Shi, Zhe, Tsymbalov, Evgenii, Shi, Wencong, Barr, Ariel, Li, Qingjie, Li, Jiangxu, Chen, Xing-Qiu, Dao, Ming, Suresh, Subra, Li, Ju

“…However, a general scientific framework to guide the design of engineering materials through such elastic strain engineering (ESE) has not yet been developed. By combining first-principles calculations with ML, we present here a general approach to map out the entire phonon stability boundary in six-dimensional strain space, which can guide the ESE of a material without phase transitions. …”
