Abstract

A suite of supplementary shell element material model verification tests were developed for the explicit finite element program DYNA3D, in continuation of the work performed in LLNL-TR-792469 (Shell Element Material Model Verification Problems for DYNA3D). The testing procedure developed in the preceding report is extended, and used to verify all remaining untested shell model features and inputs. A collection of 78 feature-specific verification tests are proposed, some of which are applicable to multiple material models, though many are specialized to a particular model. The collective suite of tests cover all 27 currently available material models in DYNA3D. In the course of developing the proposed test suite, 24 separate shell model-related issues were identified and have subsequently been resolved.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
