    Zhiguang Liu1, Shilin Wang1, Jian Zhao1,*, Jianhong Hao2, Fei Yu3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 473-487, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029729

    Abstract A real-time adaptive roles allocation method based on reinforcement learning is proposed to improve human-robot cooperation performance for a curtain wall installation task. This method breaks the traditional idea that the robot is regarded as the follower or only adjusts the leader and the follower in cooperation. In this paper, a self-learning method is proposed which can dynamically adapt and continuously adjust the initiative weight of the robot according to the change of the task. Firstly, the physical human-robot cooperation model, including the role factor is built. Then, a reinforcement learning model that can adjust the role factor in real… More > Graphic Abstract

    Time-Domain Analysis of Body Freedom Flutter Based on 6DOF Equation

    Zhehan Ji1, Tongqing Guo1,*, Di Zhou1, Zhiliang Lu1, Binbin Lyu2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 489-508, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029088

    Abstract The reduced weight and improved efficiency of modern aeronautical structures result in a decreasing separation of frequency ranges of rigid and elastic modes. Particularly, a high-aspect-ratio flexible flying wing is prone to body freedom flutter (BFF), which is a result of coupling of the rigid body short-period mode with 1st wing bending mode. Accurate prediction of the BFF characteristics is helpful to reflect the attitude changes of the vehicle intuitively and design the active flutter suppression control law. Instead of using the rigid body mode, this work simulates the rigid body motion of the model by using the six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF)… More >

    Effect of Blasting Stress Wave on Dynamic Crack Propagation

    Huizhen Liu1,2, Duanying Wan3, Meng Wang3, Zheming Zhu3, Liyun Yang2,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 349-368, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.028197

    Abstract Stress waves affect the stress field at the crack tip and dominate the dynamic crack propagation. Therefore, evaluating the influence of blasting stress waves on the crack propagation behavior and the mechanical characteristics of crack propagation is of great significance for engineering blasting. In this study, ANSYS/LS-DYNA was used for blasting numerical simulation, in which the propagation characteristics of blasting stress waves and stress field distribution at the crack tip were closely observed. Moreover, ABAQUS was applied for simulating the crack propagation path and calculating dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs). The universal function was calculated by the fractal method.

    CFD-Based Optimization of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger

    Juanjuan Wang*, Jiangping Nan, Yanan Wang

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.11, pp. 2761-2775, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.021175

    Abstract The main objective of this study is the technical optimization of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger (STHE). In order to do so, a simulation model is introduced that takes into account the related gas-phase circulation. Then, simulation verification experiments are designed in order to validate the model. The results show that the temperature field undergoes strong variations in time when an inlet wind speed of 6 m/s is considered, while the heat transfer error reaches a minimum of 5.1%. For an inlet velocity of 9 m/s, the heat transfer drops to the lowest point, while the heat transfer error reaches a… More >

    Hemodynamic Profiling Using a Cardiac Index–Systemic Vascular Resistance Plot in Patients with Fontan Circulation

    Yuki Kawasaki1,*, Takeshi Sasaki1, Daisuke Kobayashi2

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.4, pp. 431-445, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.030910

    Abstract Background: Elevated Fontan pressure (FP) alone cannot fully predict clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that hemodynamic profiling using a cardiac index (CI)-systemic vascular resistance (SVR) plot could characterize clinical features and predict the prognosis of post-Fontan patients. Methods: We included post-Fontan patients who underwent cardiac catheterization at age < 10 years. Patients were classified into four categories: A, CI  ≥ 3, SVR index (SVRI) ≥ 20; B, CI < 3, SVRI ≥ 20; C, CI ≥ 3, SVRI < 20; and D, CI < 3, SVRI < 20. The primary outcome was freedom from the combined endpoint: new onset of protein-losing enteropathy or plastic bronchitis, heart transplant, and death. Clinical and hemodynamic variables and freedom from… More > Graphic Abstract

    Ion dynamics and Manipulation Under Extreme Confinement

    Yahui Xue1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09724

    Abstract Ion dynamics and precise control in nanochannels play key roles in biological systems, energy conversation, and environmental engineering. However, the mechanics behaviors of ions and their manipulation mechanism under extreme confinement remain largely unexplored. Biological ion channels acting as life’s transistors can gate simultaneously fast and selective ion transport through atomic-scale filters to maintain vital life functions. This biological inspiration motivates the quest for artificial structures with simultaneous functions of ion selectivity, fast transport and electrical gating at the atomic scale. Here, we experimentally investigate the ion dynamics and electrical manipulation in graphene channels of 3 angstrom size and report… More >

    The Mechanical Property of 2D Materials and Potential Application in Gas Separation

    Dong Li1,*, Yonggang Zheng1, Hongwu Zhang1, Hongfei Ye1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09714

    Abstract The family of 2D transition-metal oxides and dichalcogenides with 1H phase (1H-MX2) has sparked great interest from the perspective of basic physics and applied science. Interestingly, their performances could be further regulated and improved through strain engineering. Effective regulation is founded on a wellunderstood mechanical performance, however, the large number of 1H-MX2 materials has not yet been revealed. Here, a general theoretical model is constructed based on the molecular mechanics, which provides an effective and rapid analytical algorithm for evaluating the mechanical properties of the entire family of 1H-MX2. The validity of the constructed model is verified by molecular dynamics… More >

    Uncovering the Intrinsic Deficiencies of Phase-Field Modeling for Dynamic Fracture

    Jiale Ji1,*, Mengnan Zhang1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09632

    Abstract The phase-field fracture (PFF) approach has achieved great triumphs in modeling quasi-static fracture. Nevertheless, its reliability in serving dynamic fractures still leaves something to be desired, such as the prediction of the limiting crack velocity. Using a pre-strained fracture configuration, we discovered a disturbing phenomenon that the crack limiting speed identified by the dynamic PFF model is not related to the specific material, which seriously deviates from the experimental observation. To ascertain the truth, we first ruled out the correlation between the limiting crack velocity on the phase-field characteristic scale and external loading. Afterward, by switching between different crack surface… More >

    Shuangxing Deng, Man Li*, Huachun Zhou

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.3, pp. 2919-2939, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.039985

    Abstract Security service function chaining (SFC) based on software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) technology allows traffic to be forwarded sequentially among different security service functions to achieve a combination of security functions. Security SFC can be deployed according to requirements, but the current SFC is not flexible enough and lacks an effective feedback mechanism. The SFC is not traffic aware and the changes of traffic may cause the previously deployed security SFC to be invalid. How to establish a closed-loop mechanism to enhance the adaptive capability of the security SFC to malicious traffic has become an important issue.… More >

    Hongfei Ye1,*, Chenguang Yin1, Jian Wang1, Yonggang Zheng1, Hongwu Zhang1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09741

    Abstract The wetting behavior is ubiquitous in natural phenomenon as well as engineering application. As an intrinsic property of solid surface, the wettability with a controllable gradient has been an attractive issue with a wide application in various fields, including microfluidic devices, self-driven transport, biotechnologies, etc. Generally, it often requires elaborate design of microstructure or its response under the electrical, thermal, optical, pH stimuli, etc. However, the relevant complex underlying mechanism makes it difficult to construct quantitative relations between the wettability and the external field for the fine design. In this work, based on the bilayer two-dimensional materials, a simple controlling… More >
