Topic 1:Morphology extraction based on deep learning and digital image

  • Contribution: Offer a systematic framework to extract particle profiles from raw images with complex backgrounds in a rapid and precise manner.



Topic 2:Development Finite element program for heterogeneous geomaterials

  • Contribution: systematic three-dimensional (3D) finite models are established to simulate heterogeneous geomaterials with the consideration of rocks shape characteristics.



Topic 3:Failure analysis of composite materials using Finite-discrete element method

  • Contribution: A finite-discrete element approach is proposed to analysis the failure characteristics of heterogeneous composite materials.
