    A Coupled Hygro-Thermo-Mechanical Bond-Based Cosserat Peridynamic Porous Media Model for Heated Fracture of Concrete

    Jiaming Zhang1, Xihua Chu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.3, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09055

    Abstract This paper presents a fully coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical bond-based Cosserat peridynamic porous media model for concrete at high temperature [1-3]. The model enables the problem of Poisson's ratio limitation to be relieved and the effect of cement particle size and its independent micro-rotation to be taken into account [4]. A multi-rate explicit integration strategy is proposed, which allows this complex multi-field fully coupled governing equation to be well solved. Numerical simulations mainly focus on the terms of temperature, water vapour pressure and damage level to verify the validity of the model [5-9]. And they additionally demonstrate the effect of cement particle… More >

    Concurrent Topology and Fiber Path Optimization for Continuous Fiber Composite Under Thermo-Mechanical Loadings

    Zhelong He1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010452

    Abstract This presentation introduces a concurrent topology and fiber-path optimization for continuous fiber composite under thermos-mechanical loadings. The optimization goal is to minimize the structural compliance of composite with thermos-mechanical coupling while satisfying volume fraction constraint, and ensuring the manufacturability by using continuous fibers and avoiding the appearance of over thin members. Level-set function is utilized to represent both shape boundary and fiber path. The zero isocontour of level-set function is updated using a shape sensitivity analysis for anisotropic composite, and fiber paths in shape are given by level-set functions determined from shape boundary. A level-set-based mesh evolution method is introduced… More >

    Zhaohui Yang1,2,*, Tianhua Xiong1, Fei Du1,*, Baotong Li3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.135, No.2, pp. 1701-1718, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.022758

    Abstract The structure optimization design under thermo-mechanical coupling is a difficult problem in the topology optimization field. An adaptive growth algorithm has become a more effective approach for structural topology optimization. This paper proposed a topology optimization method by an adaptive growth algorithm for the stiffener layout design of box type load-bearing components under thermo-mechanical coupling. Based on the stiffness diffusion theory, both the load stiffness matrix and the heat conduction stiffness matrix of the stiffener are spread at the same time to make sure the stiffener grows freely and obtain an optimal stiffener layout design. Meanwhile, the objectives of optimization… More >

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.17, No.4, pp. 821-831, 2021, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2021.014707

    Abstract Taking the combustor composite structure of a high-strength diesel engine as the main research object, dedicated tests have been conducted to verify the accuracy of three distinct cylinder gasket pressure simulation models. Using the measured cylinder gasket compression rebound curve, a gasket unit has been designed and manufactured. For this unit, the influence of the bolt pretension, cylinder body and cylinder head material on gasket sealing pressure has been investigated systematically in conditions of thermo-mechanical coupling. The results show that the bolt pretension force is one of the most important factors affecting the cylinder gasket sealing pressure. The change of… More >

    Prediction of Melt Pool Dimension and Residual Stress Evolution with Thermodynamically-Consistent Phase Field and Consolidation Models during Re-Melting Process of SLM

    Kang-Hyun Lee1, Gun Jin Yun1,2,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.66, No.1, pp. 87-112, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.012688

    Abstract Re-melting process has been utilized to mitigate the residual stress level in the selective laser melting (SLM) process in recent years. However, the complex consolidation mechanism of powder and the different material behavior after the first laser melting hinder the direct implementation of the re-melting process. In this work, the effects of re-melting on the temperature and residual stress evolution in the SLM process are investigated using a thermo-mechanically coupled finite element model. The degree of consolidation is incorporated in the energy balance equation based on the thermodynamically-consistent phase-field approach. The drastic change of material properties due to the variation… More >
