    ABAQUS and ANSYS Implementations of the Peridynamics-Based Finite Element Method (PeriFEM) for Brittle Fractures

    Fei Han*, Zhibin Li, Jianyu Zhang, Zhiying Liu, Chen Yao, Wenping Han

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.136, No.3, pp. 2715-2740, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.026922 - 09 March 2023

    Abstract In this study, we propose the first unified implementation strategy for peridynamics in commercial finite element method (FEM) software packages based on their application programming interface using the peridynamics-based finite element method (PeriFEM). Using ANSYS and ABAQUS as examples, we present the numerical results and implementation details of PeriFEM in commercial FEM software. PeriFEM is a reformulation of the traditional FEM for solving peridynamic equations numerically. It is considered that the non-local features of peridynamics yet possesses the same computational framework as the traditional FEM. Therefore, this implementation benefits from the consistent computational frameworks of… More >

    Rafael Marin Ferro1,2,*, Renato Pavanello2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.136, No.2, pp. 1371-1397, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.026043 - 06 February 2023

    Abstract This work analyzes the implementation of a continuous method of structural topology optimization (STO) using open-source software for all stages of the topology optimization problem: modeling, sensitivity analysis and optimization. Its implementation involves three main components: numerical analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM), sensitivity analysis using an Adjoint method and an optimization solver. In order to allow the automated numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and perform a sensitivity analysis, FEniCS and Dolfin Adjoint software are used as tools, which are open-source code. For the optimization process, Ipopt (Interior Point OPTimizer) is used, More >

    Parallel Iterative FEM Solver with Initial Guess for Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Analysis

    Woochan Lee1, Woobin Park1, Jaeyoung Park2, Young-Joon Kim3, Moonseong Kim4,*

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.36, No.2, pp. 1585-1602, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.033112 - 05 January 2023

    Abstract The finite element method is a key player in computational electromagnetics for designing RF (Radio Frequency) components such as waveguides. The frequency-domain analysis is fundamental to identify the characteristics of the components. For the conventional frequency-domain electromagnetic analysis using FEM (Finite Element Method), the system matrix is complex-numbered as well as indefinite. The iterative solvers can be faster than the direct solver when the solver convergence is guaranteed and done in a few steps. However, such complex-numbered and indefinite systems are hard to exploit the merit of the iterative solver. It is also hard to… More >

    Finite Element Simulation of Radial Tire Building and Shaping Processes Using an Elasto-Viscoplastic Model

    Yinlong Wang1, Zhao Li2, Ziran Li1,*, Yang Wang1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.135, No.2, pp. 1187-1208, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.022596 - 27 October 2022

    Abstract The comprehensive tire building and shaping processes are investigated through the finite element method (FEM) in this article. The mechanical properties of the uncured rubber from different tire components are investigated through cyclic loading-unloading experiments under different strain rates. Based on the experiments, an elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model is adopted to describe the mechanical behaviors of the uncured rubber. The distinct mechanical properties, including the stress level, hysteresis and residual strain, of the uncured rubber can all be well characterized. The whole tire building process (including component winding, rubber bladder inflation, component stitching and carcass band… More >

    Enran Hou1, Umar Nazir2, Samaira Naz3, Muhammad Sohail2,4,*, Muhammad Nadeem5, Jung Rye Lee6, Choonkil Park7,*, Ahmed M. Galal8,9

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.135, No.2, pp. 1393-1411, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.022500 - 27 October 2022

    Abstract In this article, the rheology of Ferro-fluid over an axisymmetric heated disc with a variable magnetic field by considering the dispersion of hybrid nanoparticles is considered. The flow is assumed to be produced by the stretching of a rotating heated disc. The contribution of variable thermophysical properties is taken to explore the momentum, mass and thermal transportation. The concept of boundary layer mechanism is engaged to reduce the complex problem into a simpler one in the form of coupled partial differential equations system. The complex coupled PDEs are converted into highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential… More >

    Abstract Frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) play an important role in wireless systems as these can be used as filters, in isolating the unwanted radiation, in microstrip patch antennas for improving the performance of these antennas and in other 5G applications. The analysis and design of the double concentric ring frequency selective surface (DCRFSS) is presented in this research. In the sub-6 GHz 5G FR1 spectrum, a computational synthesis technique for creating DCRFSS based spatial filters is proposed. The analytical tools presented in this study can be used to gain a better understanding of filtering processes and… More >

    Abstract A virtual wall thickness method is developed to simulate the temperature field of turbine blades with thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), to simplify the modeling process and improve the calculation efficiency. The results show that the virtual wall thickness method can improve the mesh quality by 20%, reduce the number of meshes by 76.7% and save the calculation time by 35.5%, compared with the traditional real wall thickness method. The average calculation error of the two methods is between 0.21% and 0.93%. Furthermore, the temperature at the blade leading edge is the highest and the average… More >

    Lingyun Zhao1,2, Heng Yang3,4,*, Yuanlong Wei1,2,*, Yuhuan Bu3,4, Shaorui Jing3,4, Peiming Zhou1,2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.2, pp. 329-344, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.020216 - 29 August 2022

    Abstract Perforation and fracturing are typically associated with the development of coalbed methane wells. As the cement sheath is prone to failure during this process, in this work, the effects of the casing pressure, elastic modulus of the cement, elastic modulus of the formation, and casing eccentricity on the resulting stresses are analyzed in the frame of a finite element method. Subsequently, sensitivity response curves of the cement sheath stress are plotted by normalizing all factors. The results show that the maximum circumferential stress and Mises stress of the cement sheath increase with the casing internal More > Graphic Abstract

    Zongying Fu1, Yongdong Zhou1, Tingguo Yan2, Yun Lu1,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.1, pp. 93-102, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.021808 - 10 August 2022

    Abstract Drying crack is a common phenomenon occurring during moisture discharge from wood, reducing efficient wood utilization. Drying crack is primarily caused by drying stress, and the reasonable methods for determining drying stress are sparse. In this study, the initiation and propagation of cracks during wood discs drying were simulated using the extended finite element method (XFEM). The distribution of drying stress and displacement was analyzed at different crack conditions based on the simulation results. This study aimed to solve the problem of the limitation of drying stress testing methods and provide a new idea for More >
