TOPIC
▸　Recent Advances of Computational Mechanics in Extreme Event Problems and Machine Learning Enhanced Multiscale Analysis

Abstract
❝　Computational mechanics is the discipline concerned with the use of computational methods to study phenomena governed by the principles of mechanics. Over the past two decades, mature numerical formulations have been developed for modeling challenging engineering applications, including extreme event problems such as natural disasters like landslides and tsunamis, as well as man-made disasters like air-blasts or structural failures. Additionally, it has gained increasing attention recently due to its compatibility with powerful machine learning methods. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of the historical development of computational mechanics and its recent advances in modeling various engineering problems. I will specifically address the developed computational methodologies for modeling various extreme events and their integration with machine learning for multiscale analysis of meta-materials.　❞
