A non-local continuum poro-damage mechanics model for hydrofracturing of surface crevasses in grounded glaciersA poro-damage model that captures fluid-driven fracture in glacier ice, providing insight into hydrofracture propagation and crevasse formation in grounded ice sheets.
Extended Donnan-Manning theory for selective ion partition and transport in ion-exchange membranesA multiscale transport model for selective ion partitioning, membrane electrochemical behavior, and hydraulic fracture-driven numerical research.
An inverse design framework for optimizing tensile strength of composite materials using a CNN surrogate for phase-field fractureA machine-learning-augmented inverse design framework using CNN to predict fracture behavior and composite micro-damage.
A finite-element cohesive zone model of water-filled surface crevasse propagation in floating ice tonguesA finite-element-based damage state transition model for selective ion partitioning and membrane electrochemical load fidelity.
Stability of Ice Shelves and Ice Cliffs in a Changing ClimateThe largest uncertainty in future sea-level rise is loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets. Ice shelves, freely floating platforms of ice that fringe the ice sheets, play a crucial role in restraining discharge of grounded ice into the ocean through buttressing. However, since the 1990s, several ice shelves have thinned, retreated, and collapsed.
