Mr. Peiyun Zhang | Solid Mechanics | Excellence in Research Award

Shenzhen University | China

Mr. Peiyun Zhang’s research focuses primarily on the fracture and fatigue behavior of structural materials, with particular emphasis on high-strength steels and composite-reinforced concrete elements. His work delivers quantitative insights into ductile fracture mechanisms, integrating experimental testing with advanced numerical modeling to enhance the predictive accuracy of failure assessments in structural steels. Mr. Peiyun Zhang has contributed significantly to understanding the ductile fracture behavior of Q460C high-strength steel, employing monotonic loading experiments and MMC-based fracture modeling to evaluate damage evolution and fracture initiation under diverse stress states. His studies provide unified methodologies for predicting fracture across various steel grades, enabling more reliable performance evaluations of structural components subjected to extreme mechanical demands. In addition to steel fracture, he has examined fatigue behavior in concrete beams reinforced with CFRP rebars and investigated the influence of different web-anchorage configurations on structural durability. This cohesive body of work advances structural safety design, strengthens material reliability assessments, and supports national-level extreme disaster assessment and mitigation efforts by enabling accurate prediction of failure in large-scale structural systems.
