Yin's research focuses on the "Impact dynamic on advanced engineering materials and structures" enabled by (i) Dynamic mechanics behaviours of engineering materials [e.g., dynamic compression, dynamic fracture, and spallation, etc.]; (ii) Dynamic response of engineering structures [e.g., low-velocity impact, explosion, and penetration, etc.]; (iii) Constitutive models of cementitious materials; and (iv) Advanced numerical approach [e.g., meshfree/meshless/particle method, dynamic phase field method].
