Pan, Tanbo (author), Zheng, Yonglai (author), Zhou, Y. (author), Wu, Zhuorui (author), Zhou, Yujue (author)Externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely used in structural strengthening and retrofitting. Premature debonding of the FRP severely limits the efficiency of CFRP utilization. The application of CRRP anchorage system offers a solution to the debonding problem.

Yin, Hang (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Duan, Huan-Feng (author), Savić, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Urban flooding is a major issue worldwide, causing huge economic losses and serious threats to public safety. One promising way to mitigate its impacts is to develop a real-time flood risk management system; however, building such a system is often challenging due to the lack of high spatiotemporal rainfall data. While some approaches (i.e.,...journal article 2022

Thakolkaran, P. (author), Joshi, A. (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Flaschel, Moritz (author), De Lorenzis, Laura (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author)We propose a new approach for unsupervised learning of hyperelastic constitutive laws with physics-consistent deep neural networks. In contrast to supervised learning, which assumes the availability of stress–strain pairs, the approach only uses realistically measurable full-field displacement and global reaction force data, thus it lies...journal article 2022

Joshi, A. (author), Thakolkaran, P. (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Escande, Maxime (author), Flaschel, Moritz (author), De Lorenzis, Laura (author), Kumar, Siddhant (author)Within the scope of our recent approach for Efficient Unsupervised Constitutive Law Identification and Discovery (EUCLID), we propose an unsupervised Bayesian learning framework for discovery of parsimonious and interpretable constitutive laws with quantifiable uncertainties. As in deterministic EUCLID, we do not resort to stress data, but...journal article 2022

Huang, Yuan (author), Zhang, Jiangjiang (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Jia, Yueyi (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Savić, Dragan (author)Urban drainage models (UDMs) are often used to manage urban flooding. However, these models generally involve many parameters to represent the underlying complex hydrodynamic processes. This results in significant challenges to achieving effective and robust model calibration especially with frequently limited observations, leading to...journal article 2022
