Prediction Of Elastic Stresses In Porous Materials Using Fully Convolutional Networks, Özgür Keleṣ, Yinchuan He, Birsen Sirkeci-Mergen

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Machine learning (ML) models enable exploration of vast structural space faster than the traditional methods, such as finite element method (FEM). This makes ML models suitable for stochastic fracture problems in brittle porous materials. In this work, fully convolutional networks (FCNs) were trained to predict stress and stress concentration factor distributions in two-dimensional isotropic elastic materials with uniform porosity. We show that even with downsampled data, FCN models predict the stress distributions for a given porous structure. FCN predicted stress concentration factors 10,000 times faster than the FEM simulations. The FCN-predicted stresses combined with fracture mechanics captured the effect of …

Influence Of Sequential And Simultaneous Bilingualism On Second Grade Dual Language Students’ Use Of Syntax In Reading, Allison Briceño

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

This study integrated reading and bilingual theories to examine the reading behaviors of second grade Latinx students in a Dual Language program.
