Research summary
AI-generated

Fei Tao's research focuses on combining machine learning with mechanical engineering to predict how composite materials (multi-material structures like fiber-reinforced plastics) behave and fail under stress. This work often involves coupling deep neural networks with finite element simulation software (such as Abaqus) to model material properties that are difficult to measure directly, with applications including aircraft components like rotor blades and thin-walled structures. The research sits at the intersection of structural engineering, computational mechanics, and data-driven modeling.
