Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…Using these prototypes, we study the mechanical behavior of the fabricated composites under uniaxial compression, with particular emphasis on the non-linear and failure regimes. We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”

A Branched Convolutional Neural Network for Forecasting the Occurrence of Hazes in Paris Using Meteorological Maps with Different Characteristic Spatial Scales by Wang, Chien

“…The strategy is to make the machine learn from available historical data to recognize various regional weather and hydrological regimes associated with low-visibility events. To better preserve the characteristic spatial information of input features in training, two branched architectures have recently been developed. …”

Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Lastly, the grid size and RANS models are subjected to further verification to ensure the observations and calculations are indeed trustworthy and relatively accurate by studying skin friction coefficient and comparing to empirical formula; also by simulating more complex dimpled flow with different Reynolds number regimes. The result establishes agreements in friction coefficient while the simulation of complex flow doe s not. …”
