Research summary
AI-generated

Xuanyu Sheng's research focuses on computational modeling of material failure and fatigue, particularly using an approach called peridynamics to simulate how cracks form and grow in metal components such as bearings under repeated mechanical stress (rolling contact fatigue). Earlier work also covered engineering analyses related to nuclear power plant equipment and LNG (liquefied natural gas) storage and piping systems, including heat transfer, structural stress, and construction methods.
