Abstract This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent advances in multi-scale modeling for simulating dynamic damage and fracture in metallic materials, a critical area due to the widespread application of metals and their susceptibility to complex failure in engineering practice. The paper first outlines the mechanisms of damage evolution and crack propagation across different spatial and temporal scales. It then introduces commonly used simulation approaches spanning micro- to macro-scales for studying damage and fracture in metals, analyzing the evolution of mechanical properties from defect initiation to ultimate failure, and elucidating the underlying damage mechanisms at More >

Abstract The direct conversion of solid-state heat to electricity using thermoelectric materials has attracted attention; however, their effective application is limited because of the challenge of ensuring a balance between the microstructural features at the quantum, mesoscale, and continuum scales. Current computational and machine-learning methods have a small design space, wherein few to no interactions between the electronic structure, phonon transport, and device-level are considered. This makes it difficult to discover stable high-figure of merit (ZT) settings that are manufacturable and strong in the actual working environment. This study presents a multiscale hybrid optimization framework that… More >

Abstract To address challenges in wind turbine blade defect detection models, primarily due to insufficient feature extraction capabilities and the difficulty of deploying models on drone-type edge devices, this study proposes a wind turbine blade defect detection model, WtCS-YOLO11, that incorporates multiscale feature extraction and an attention mechanism. Firstly, the cross-stage partial with two kernels and a wavelet convolution module (C3k2_WTConv) is proposed by introducing wavelet convolution into the module. The cross-stage partial with two kernels (C3k2) module in the necking network is replaced with the C3k2_WTConv module to increase the model’s receptive field, enable multiscale… More >

Abstract To clarify fluid flow mechanisms and establish effective development conditions in continental shale oil reservoirs, a high-temperature, high-pressure steady-state flow system integrated with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology has been developed. The apparatus combines sample evacuation, rapid pressurization and saturation, and controlled displacement, enabling systematic investigation of single-phase shale oil flow under representative reservoir conditions. Related experiments allow proper quantification of the activation thresholds and relative contributions of different pore types to flow. A movable fluid index (MFI), defined using dual T₂ cutoff values, is introduced accordingly and linked to key flow parameters. The results reveal… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved image deblurring; however, existing approaches still suffer from limited global context modeling, inadequate detail restoration, and poor texture or edge perception, especially under complex dynamic blur. To address these challenges, we propose the Multi-Resolution Fusion Network (MRFNet), a blind multi-scale deblurring framework that integrates progressive residual connectivity for hierarchical feature fusion. The network employs a three-stage design: (1) TransformerBlocks capture long-range dependencies and reconstruct coarse global structures; (2) Nonlinear Activation Free Blocks (NAFBlocks) enhance local detail representation and mid-level feature fusion; and (3) an optimized residual subnetwork… More >

Abstract To solve the false detection and missed detection problems caused by various types and sizes of defects in the detection of steel surface defects, similar defects and background features, and similarities between different defects, this paper proposes a lightweight detection model named multiscale edge and squeeze-and-excitation attention detection network (MSESE), which is built upon the You Only Look Once version 11 nano (YOLOv11n). To address the difficulty of locating defect edges, we first propose an edge enhancement module (EEM), apply it to the process of multiscale feature extraction, and then propose a multiscale edge enhancement… More >

Abstract Granular materials exhibit complex macroscopic mechanical behaviors closely related to their micro-scale microstructural features. Traditional macroscopic phenomenological elasto-plastic models, however, usually have complex formulations and lack explicit relations to these microstructural features. To avoid these limitations, this study proposes a micromechanics-based softening hyperelastic model for granular materials, integrating softening hyperelasticity with microstructural insights to capture strain softening, critical state, and strain localization behaviors. The model has two key advantages: (1) a clear conceptualization, straightforward formulation, and ease of numerical implementation (via Abaqus UMAT subroutine in this study); (2) explicit incorporation of micro-scale features (e.g., contact… More >

Abstract High-resolution remote sensing images (HRSIs) are now an essential data source for gathering surface information due to advancements in remote sensing data capture technologies. However, their significant scale changes and wealth of spatial details pose challenges for semantic segmentation. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) excel at capturing local features, they are limited in modeling long-range dependencies. Conversely, transformers utilize multihead self-attention to integrate global context effectively, but this approach often incurs a high computational cost. This paper proposes a global-local multiscale context network (GLMCNet) to extract both global and local multiscale contextual information from HRSIs.… More >

Abstract This research extends ongoing efforts to develop methods for reinforcing damaged main gas pipelines to prevent catastrophic failure. This study establishes the use of scaled-down experimental models for assessing the dynamic strength of damaged pipeline sections reinforced with wire wrapping or composite sleeves. A generalized dynamic model is introduced for numerical simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of reinforcement techniques. The model incorporates the elastoplastic behavior of pipe and wire materials, the influence of temperature on mechanical properties, the contact interaction between the pipe and the reinforcement components (including pretensioning), and local material failure under transient… More >

Abstract High entropy alloys (HEA) are considered as the candidate materials for the next generation of nuclear systems due to the excellent high temperature properties and radiation resistance. However, for the lack of atomic lattice distortion information from the micromechanical description, the existing simulation methods are difficult to capture the microstructure and damage evolution of the HEA at submicron scale. To address this, we develop the random field theory informed discrete dislocation dynamics simulations based on the results of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy to systematically clarify the role of heterogeneous lattice strain on the complex interactions… More >
