Dianyun Zhang works on composite materials engineering, focusing on how these materials are manufactured, how defects form during manufacturing, and how they behave and fail under mechanical loads. This includes developing computer simulations and mathematical models to predict processes like resin infusion, fiber placement, curing, and fabric draping, as well as models for damage and failure in composite structures such as ceramic matrix composites and woven textile composites. The work combines experimental testing with numerical modeling to help improve manufacturing techniques and predict material performance.
