Most of my funding is related to finite element simulations or data analysis, but all of my contributions would be considered in the solid mechanics and material science arena. From defense contracts, to commercial seating productions and custom car subframes, anything structural has a breaking point. My job is usually to (computationally) find out when and why that happens. As structural materials behave in a repeatable/predictable pattern, physics-based have historically proven a helpful tool for finite element analyses. With the recent growth of machine learning, the ability for for a computer to recognize material behavior using generic non-linear algorithms has immediate benefits.
