4. A new material damage estimation rule was devised for the damage of structures by earthquakes and waves. This paper investigates how materials are damaged in an earthquake by reproducing prestrain which simulates shaking by an earthquake and carrying out a fracture test. By carrying out the finite element method analysis of crystal plasticity based on the micro mechanism of brittle fracture, the material damage mechanism which has not been clarified until now was discovered. In addition, this paper investigates the effect of prestrain on the critical fracture condition of material which leads to brittle fracture, and proposes a new model on the arrangement of the critical stress which has not been unified until.
5. In Japan, which is an earthquake-prone country, it is necessary to conduct further research on the damage law in order to handle structures more safely. In the future, we would like to focus on the damage law under more complicated conditions and the fluctuation of the damage law due to microstructure, and develop the research on the soundness of structures

Role discovery aims to infer nodes’ roles from a network structure, and it has received considerable attention recently. The conventional methods of role discovery mainly use unsupervised learning, but due to the lack of information, it is difficult to discover the roles we want or to ascertain the results. In this paper, we attempt to improve accuracy through using supervised information. Specifically, we adopt transfer learning using adversarial learning. As a result of computational experiments, we show that the proposed model discovers a node’s role more effectively than do the conventional methods. Furthermore, we found that domain-invariant features lead to higher accuracy, the proposed method discovers roles better even with different network sizes, and the proposed method works well even if the networks have nodes of various structures.

5.Your impression & future plan I am honored to win such a wonderful award. I will make an effort to improve this research to apply the proposed method to real-world datasets.
