Abstract The global warming has reduced the extent of ice in Arctic region and brought some environmental issues including the rising of sea level and the changing of ecosystem. On the other hand, it is also true that the possibility of using Arctic sea route by trading ships and of developing the subsea resource in the Arctic region by offshore installations is increasingly growing due to the global warming. There are still a lot of challenging issues to be resolved for robust design of ships and offshore structures operating in Arctic region.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to discuss the main issues related to modeling and simulation of the Korean lunar module. Lunar module usually consists of a rigid platform, attitude control actuators and a fuel tank. For dynamical modeling, we first assumed the lunar module as a rigid body and derived equations of motion by considering allocation of reaction thrusters and reaction wheel assembly(RWA). Fuel sloshing in lunar module and its influence on attitude dynamics are an important issue in the research field of space technology. In order to include the effect of fuel sloshing on the dynamics, we model… More >

Abstract In this study, the efficient discrete model including the resin infusion and the fiber compaction is developed to simulate the RFI (resin film infusion) process. The non-linear governing equations are derived by the Darcy's law, the Terzaghi's law and the continuity equations. The finite element method and the finite difference method are used to discretize the proposed equations, and the VOF method is used to track the filling front. Compared with the analytical results of Park, our numerical results agree well with them. Furthermore, we analyze the RFI process of BMI/G0814, and simulate the resin pressure, the fiber volume fraction… More >

Abstract We have been developing the concurrent-type, hybrid quantum-classical simulation scheme for various atomic processes at liquid-solid interfaces [1]. In this scheme, the density-functional theory (DFT) method is applied to the "quantum" region to calculate the electronic structure; while the semi-empirical inter-atomic potential, to the "classical" region. In this talk we review its recent developments both from methodology and application viewpoints.
In the hybrid simulation, the DFT method that is applied at each time-step to a cluster of typically a hundred atoms (i.e., the QM region) consumes most of the computation power. It is highly desirable to develop a less… More >

Abstract The spherical shell is a typical form of revolution shells, which is widely used in pressure vessel and piping industry, nuclear power industry and ocean engineering for its specific structural shape to obtain kinds of performance. However compared to the cylindrical or conical shell, the spherical shell is mainly used as main structure or pressure hull in underwater engineering because of the superiority of theoretical solution and its manufacture. For the significance of the spherical shell, many researchers in the region of engineering and mechanics have spent great efforts to solve it and do lots of experiments in order to… More >

Abstract The aim of this work is to discuss the nonlinear theory of shells made of material undergoing phase transitions (PT). The interest to mechanics and thermodynamics of thin-walled structures with PT is motivated by the recent investigations of thin martensitic films and biological membranes. Here we present statements of the boundary-value problems of shells and plates with PT within the dynamically and kinematically exact theory of shells. In this shell theory the translation and rotation fields are the kinematically independent variables. The theoretical model is illustrated by the examples of thin circular cylindrical shell and circular plate made of two-phase… More >

Abstract The root of Salvia miltiorrhiza bunge, Danshen, is a traditional Chinese herb known to prevent hypertension. However, the mechanism of how Danshen affects the mechanical properties of blood vessel is not clear. In this project, we studied the effects of Danshen on zero-stress state of rat's abdominal aorta, which is the basic configuration of blood vessel affected solely by intrinsic parameters.
Sprague Dawley rats, male, around 350g, were used. The zero-stress state of a blood vessel can be very different from the in vivo state and the no-load state of the vessel. At the in vivo state, the rat's… More >

Abstract In the present paper, a combined scheme of discrete element method (DEM) and meshless method for numerical simulation of impact problems is proposed. Based on the basic principle of continuum mechanics, an axisymmetric DEM framework is estabilished for modeling the elastoplastic behavior of solid materials. A failure criterion is introduced to model the transformation from a continuum to a discontinuum. The friction force between contact elements is also considered after the failure appears. So our scheme can calculate not only the behavior of continuum and discontinuum, but also the transformation process from continuum to discontinuum. In addition, a meshless interpolation… More >

Abstract Recently, the application of high magnetic fields to materials processing is considering a promising approach to prepare functional materials with special performances. In the present study, based on the techniques of solidification, quenching, and isothermal annealing in both the semisolid and melting states in high magnetic fields, the solidified structure evolution of the Mn-Sb and Al-Ni alloy systems was systematically studied under different magnetic field conditions. A novel method was proposed to in situ fabricate the graded or aligned materials using gradient or uniform high magnetic fields. The results show that the primary MnSb particles were gathered in one certain… More >

Abstract Due to last mass flow rate measurements in gas micro and nano-channels several discrepancies in the mathematical modeling have been arise. The most important one, is the "flow enhancement" related with the wall slip phenomena. Thus, in the literature, there is opinion that the Navier-Stokes slip condition is correct only in certain restricted circumstances, particularly those restricted to the first order boundary conditions. A one possible way for solving of the above discrepancies, used recently in the literature, is developing a variety of so-called ßecond order boundary conditions". This way is incorrect since it always leads to an inconsistency between… More >

Abstract Analysis of the cutting process in machining of modern engineering materials (Ti- and Ni-based alloys), which are hard-to-cut materials, is a challenge that needs to be addressed. Machining of these alloys with conventional techniques is difficult and often results in tool failure due to the high cutting forces imposed on the tool. In a machining operation, cutting forces causes severe deformations in the proximity of the cutting edge, producing high stresses, strain, strain-rates and temperatures in the workpiece.
Ultrasonically assisted turning (UAT) is an advanced machining process, which has shown several advantages especially in the machining of high strength… More >
