    Lifeng Gan1, Baoyin Zhu2, Chao Ling1,*, Esteban P. Busso1, Dongfeng Li1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010397

    Abstract Heat-resistant austenitic stainless steels are widely used in the final stages of superheater and reheater in in the new generation of fossil fuel power stations, due to their high creep strength. Similar weld joints, fabricated using gas tungsten arc welding, for connecting different components made of the heat resistant austenitic stainless steels usually suffer from premature failures at elevated temperature [1]. Experimental studies showed that cracks may nucleate in the heat affected zone or weld metal of the similar welded joints under service conditions. In order to reveal the physical origin of unexpected failures of… More >

    Anisotropic Mechanical Behaviors of Alsi10Mg Alloy Fabricated by Additive Manufacturing: Experiments and Modeling

    Shi Dai1, Yanping Lian1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010175

    Abstract In recent years, metal additive manufacturing (AM) has gained increasing attention from various industries. However, there are few studies on the thermal deformation behavior of additively manufactured metallic components, which is vital to pushing its applications’ boundary. In this work, we first experimentally investigate the mechanical behavior of AlSi10Mg produced by laser powder bed fusion under different temperatures and strain rates. A crystal plasticity finite element model is adopted to provide insights into the intrinsic deformation mechanisms. The model is validated by comparing it with the flow behaviors and dislocation evolutions observed in experiments at More >

    Microstructures and Nanomechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured Metallic Stents

    Enzoh Langi1, Liguo Zhao2,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010163

    Abstract Additive manufacturing emerges as an innovative technology to fabricate medical stents used to treat blocked arteries. However, there is a lack of study of underlying microstructure and mechanical properties of additively manufactured stent. In this work, additively manufactured 316L stainless steel stent was investigated, with electrochemical polishing being used to improve the surface finish. Microstructural characterisation was carried out using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. The hardness and elastic modulus were measured using Berkovich nanoindentation, with an emphasis on the effect of grain orientation. In addition, spherical nanoindentation was used to… More >

    Design and Deformation Behavior of Multi-phase Mechanical Metamaterials

    Huitian Wang1, Junjie You1, Sha Yin1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010417

    Abstract Strong and tough mechanical metamaterials are highly demanded in engineering application. Nature inspired dual-phase metamaterial composites was developed and examined, by employing architectured lattice materials with different mechanical properties respectively as the constituent matrix and reinforcement phases. Then, the reinforcement phase was incorporated into the matrix phase with specific patterning. The composite metamaterials were simply fabricated using additive manufacturing. From quasistatic compression tests, the strength and toughness could be simultaneously enhanced after the addition of reinforcement phase grains. Through simulation modeling, effects of dual-phase distribution, elementary architecture, parent material and defects on mechanical properties of More >

    Hierarchical Multiscale Modeling of Thaw-Induced Landslides in Permafrost

    Shiwei Zhao1,*, Hao Chen2, Jidong Zhao1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09965

    Abstract With global warming, thaw-induced landslides occur more frequently in permafrost, which not only threaten the safety of infrastructures as general geohazards but also worsen global warming due to carbon release. This work presents a novel computational framework to model thaw-induced landslides from a multiscale perspective. The proposed approach can capture the thermal-mechanical (TM) response of frozen soils at the particulate scale by using discrete element method (DEM). The micromechanics-based TM model is superior to capturing the sudden crash of soil skeletons caused by thaw-induced cementation loss between soil grains. The DEM-simulated TM response is then More >

    Characterization of Mechanical Properties of CNFs and the Assembled Microfibers Through a Multi-scale Optimization-Based Inversion Method

    Shuaijun Wang1, Wenqiong Tu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09926

    Abstract Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and the continuously assembled microfibers have shown transversely isotropic behavior in many studies. Due to fact that the size of CNFs and the assembled microfibers is at the nano and micro scale, respectively, the characterization of their mechanical properties is extremely challenge. That greatly hinders the accurate multi-scale modeling and design of CNFs-based materials. In our study, we have characterized the elastic constants of both CNFs microfibers and CNFs through a Multi-scale Optimization Inversion technology. Through the tensile test of CNFs microfibers reinforced resin with different volume fractions and the micromechanics model More >

    An In Vitro Study of Correlation Between the Compositions, Structure and Mechanical Properties of the Arterial Plaque

    Mohamed Abdulsalam1, Jiling Feng1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09884

    Abstract Atherosclerosis developed in the arterial wall is the major cause of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart failure. Atherosclerosis, also referred to as arterial plaque can be classified as stable, unstable, and vulnerable plaque. In terms of the features of compositions and structures, atherosclerosis also can be classified as calcified plaque, the plaque with a lipid core, and plaque with a thin fibrous cap. It is expected that the compositions, structures, and mechanical properties of the plaques interrelate with each other. The correlations between the compositions, structure, and mechanical properties are expected to characterize… More >

    Measuring the Tensile Strength Degradations of Mineral Grain Interfaces (MGIs) in the Granite After Thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) Coupling

    Mengyi Li1, Zhijun Wu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09829

    Abstract Buried in depth for decades of years, granite in the deep geological repository will be subjected to extremely complex effects of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) treatment, and the tensile strengths of mineral grain interfaces (MGIs) are inevitably impacted by the THM treatment [1, 2]. Originated by the failure modes of granite after THM treatment, the tensile strength of MGI plays an important role in determining the macro mechanical properties of THM-treated granite [3, 4]. However, the accurate characterization of the tensile strength degradations of MGIs with THM treatment is still lacking. In this study, the varied tensile… More >

    Flexoelectric Polar Patterns in Wrinkled Thin Films

    Hongxing Shang1,*, Xu Liang1, Shengping Shen1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09816

    Abstract Flexoelectricity is the coupling effect of polarization and strain gradients, which tends to be more pronounced in thin films owing to size dependency. When subjected to in-plane compression, a filmsubstrate system will form complex wrinkle morphologies along with large-area and tunable strain gradients. The wrinkle-induced strain gradients can locally break the inversion symmetry of dielectrics and thus introduce flexoelectric polarization. Here, an electromechanical coupling model is developed to theoretically deal with flexoelectric polar patterns in wrinkled thin films. By analyzing the energy competition of elastic potential and electrostatic energy, the amplitude, wavelength, and critical strain… More >

    Chunhua Liu1, Dongfang Zou1, Qinqin Huang1, Shang Li2, Xia Zheng1, Xingong Li1,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.10, pp. 3613-3624, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.028111 - 10 August 2023

    Abstract The residual resources of ramie fiber-based textile products were used as raw materials. Ramie fiber felt (RF) was modified by NaClO2 aqueous solution and then impregnated with water-based epoxy resin (WER). RF/WER transparent composite materials were prepared by lamination hot pressing process. The composite materials’color difference, transmittance, haze, density, water absorption, and mechanical properties were determined to assess the effects of NaClO2 treatment and the number of ramie fiber layers on the properties of the prepared composites. The results showed significantly improved optical and mechanical properties of the RF/WER transparent composites after NaClO2 treatment. With the increase More > Graphic Abstract
