Abstract Peridynamics (PD) is a reformulation of the classical continuum mechanics. Its core consists in that a weighted integral of relative displacement over a spatial domain is used instead of the spatial derivative of displacement in governing equations of deformation. Based on an improved technique of exerting traction on boundary surface, an improved peridynamic motion equation has been proposed within the framework of the peridynamic(PD) theory. It is more natural and easier to deal with boundary conditions for the elastic deformation and fracture analysis. Under the enhancement effect in the constructed transfer functions of boundary traction,… More >

Abstract In the natural gas liquefaction process, the mixed refrigerant natural gas liquefaction process is widely used in LNG liquefaction plants because of its advantages of low energy consumption. This paper focuses on the influences of important parameters in the C3/MRC liquefaction process, that is, the comparison between propane precooling temperature and the number of moles of methane in mixed refrigerant, power consumption and loss. In addition, the total process was optimized with the optimizer and manual adjustment in HYSYS software to minimize the total power consumption. The results show that with increasing propane precooling temperature, More >

Abstract This study employs nine distinct deep learning models to categorize 12,444 blood cell images and automatically extract from them relevant information with an accuracy that is beyond that achievable with traditional techniques. The work is intended to improve current methods for the assessment of human health through measurement of the distribution of four types of blood cells, namely, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes, known for their relationship with human body damage, inflammatory regions, and organ illnesses, in particular, and with the health of the immune system and other hazards, such as cardiovascular disease or infections, More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In order to improve the efficiency as well the adaptability and operability of traditional devices used to dredge drainage pipelines a new design is presented here, obtained by matching the structural specifications of a drainage pipeline with the working principle of a high-pressure water jet (HPWJ). To effectively improve the water jet nozzle performances, the nozzle’s structural parameters of the proposed device have been analyzed through Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The corresponding behavior of the fluids inside and outside the self-rotational nozzle has been numerically simulated. The final design for the nozzle has been More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Pipelines are widely used for transporting oil resources in the context of offshore oil exploitation. The pipeline stress-strength analysis is an important stage in related design and ensuing construction techniques. In this study, assuming representative work environment parameters, pipeline lifting operations are investigated numerically. More specifically, a time-domain coupled dynamic analysis method is used to conduct a hydrodynamic analysis under different current velocities and wave heights. The results show that proper operation requires the lifting points are reasonably set in combination with the length of the pipeline and the position of the lifting device on More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Type A aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most serious cardiovascular diseases, whose risk predictors are controversial. The purpose of this research was to investigate how elongation accompanied by dilation of the ascending aorta (AAo) affects the relevant haemodynamic characteristics using image-based computational models. Five elongated AAos with different levels of dilation have been reconstructed based on the centerlines data of an elderly and an AD patient. Numerical simulations have been performed assuming an inflow waveform and a Windkessel model with three elements for all outflow boundaries. The numerical results have revealed that the More >

Abstract Compact spinning with pneumatic grooves is a spinning process to gather fibers by blended actions of airflow and mechanical forces. Modified from the ring spinning system, the lateral compact spinning with pneumatic grooves can improve yarn appearance and properties due to generated additional twists. In this study, we investigated additional twists of the lateral compact spinning with pneumatic grooves via a finite element (FE) method. An elastic thin rod was used to model a fiber to simulate its dynamic deformation in the three-dimensional space, and the space bar unit was used to simplify the fiber… More >

Abstract The type of technology used to strengthen the surface structure of machine parts, typically by carbon-permeation, has made a great contribution to the mechanical engineering industry because of its outstanding advantages in corrosion resistance and enhanced mechanical and physical properties. Furthermore, carbon permeation is considered as an optimal method of heat treatment through the diffusion of carbon atoms into the surface of alloy steel. This study presented research results on the thermodynamic calculation and simulation of the carbon permeability process. Applying Fick’s law, the paper calculated the distribution of carbon concentration in the alloy steel… More >

Abstract In order to simulate the propagation process of subway vibration of parallel tunnels in semi-infinite rocks or soils, time domain boundary element method (TD-BEM) formulation for analyzing the dynamic response of twin-parallel circular tunnels in an elastic semi-infinite medium is developed in this paper. The time domain boundary integral equations of displacement and stress for the elastodynamic problem are presented based on Betti’s reciprocal work theorem, ignoring contributions from initial conditions and body forces. In the process of establishing time domain boundary integral equations, some virtual boundaries are constructed between finite boundaries and the free… More >
