Research summary
AI-generated

Yu Leng works on computational and structural engineering, developing numerical methods for simulating physical systems and assessing the reliability of structures. This includes creating advanced simulation techniques (such as virtual element and meshfree methods) for problems like material fracture and deformation, as well as statistical methods for estimating how likely structures are to fail under uncertain conditions, including corrosion in concrete structures.
