Geotechnical Properties of Urmia Saltwater Lake Bed Sediments (2024)
Journal Article
Akbarimehr, D., Rahai, M., Ahmadpour, M., & Sheng, Y. (2025). Geotechnical Properties of Urmia Saltwater Lake Bed Sediments. Geotechnics, 5(1), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.3390/geotechnics5010001

Urmia Lake (UL) is the sixth-largest saltwater lake in the world; however, there is a dearth of geotechnical studies on this region. Geotechnical characteristics of a site are considered important from different engineering perspectives. In this rese...

Simulation of the deformable lateral boundaries in biaxial test using DEM (2023)
Journal Article
Momeni, A., Clarke, B., Sheng, Y., & Hassanpour, A. (2024). Simulation of the deformable lateral boundaries in biaxial test using DEM. Particuology, 88, 161-175. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.partic.2023.08.015

Applying the discrete element method (DEM) in soil mechanics can provide abundant information at the particle-scale and facilitates illustration of the macro-mechanical behaviour of soils based on the inter-particle mechanisms. The triaxial test is o... Read More about Simulation of the deformable lateral boundaries in biaxial test using DEM.

What China’s Environmental Policy Means for PV Solar, Electric Vehicles, and Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies (2022)
Journal Article
Pouran, H. M., Karimi, S. M., Padilha Campos Lopes, M., & Sheng, Y. (2022). What China’s Environmental Policy Means for PV Solar, Electric Vehicles, and Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies. Energies, 15(23), Article 9037. https://doi.org/10.3390/en15239037

This perspective paper elaborates on how the burden of environmental issues on public health and the economy led China’s government to declare its revised environmental policies or “war on pollution”. It explains the importance of photovoltaic solar... Read More about What China’s Environmental Policy Means for PV Solar, Electric Vehicles, and Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies.

Computational micromechanics-based prediction of the failure of unidirectional composite lamina subjected to transverse and in-plane shear stress states (2020)
Journal Article
Wan, L., Ismail, Y., Zhu, C., Zhu, P., Sheng, Y., Liu, J., & Yang, D. (2020). Computational micromechanics-based prediction of the failure of unidirectional composite lamina subjected to transverse and in-plane shear stress states. Journal of Composite Materials, 54(24), 3637-3654. https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998320918015

This paper presents a micromechanics-based 3D finite element model for predicting the damage initiation, propagation, and failure strength of TC33/Epoxy carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) unidirectional lamina under biaxial loadings. The finite e... Read More about Computational micromechanics-based prediction of the failure of unidirectional composite lamina subjected to transverse and in-plane shear stress states.
