    Zonal Finite Line Method and Its Applications in Thermal-Mechanical Analysis of Composite Structures

    Xiaowei Gao1,*, Huayu Liu1, Weilong Fan1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09510

    Abstract In this paper, a novel numerical method, Zonal Free Element Method (ZFLM), is proposed and used to solve thermal-mechanical problems composed of multiple and functionally graded materials. ZFLM is a collocation method, in which two or three lines in 2D or 3D problems, called as line-set, are used at each node to establish the solution scheme solving engineering problems governed by partial differential equations. In ZFLM, the Lagrange polynomial is adopted to approximate physical variables varying over each line of the line-set. The first-order partial derivative is derived by using a directional derivative technique along… More >

    Uniaxial Compressive Mechanical Properties of Three-Dimensional Graphene: Theoretical Models and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Xinliang Li1, Jiangang Guo1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.1, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09484

    Abstract As the first two-dimensional (2D) material discovered in experiments, graphene has attracted increasing attention from the scientific community [1]. And it possesses many superb mechanical, electronic and optical properties [2-4] due to its unique atomic structure. Its Young’s modulus and failure strength are 1TPa and 130GPa [5], respectively. Thus, 2D graphene has been extensively used in nanosensors and nanocomposites [6-8], etc. In order to fabricate graphene-based devices which inherit outstanding properties of 2D graphene, materials scientists are trying to use 2D graphene as building blocks to construct three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanomaterials, such as 3D graphene… More >

    A Thermo-Chemo-Mechanically Coupled Peridynamic Model for Investigating the Crack Behaviors of Deformable Solids with Heat Conduction, Species Diffusion, and Chemical Reactions

    Yu Xiang1, Bao Qin2, Zheng Zhong1,*, Zhenjun Jiao1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.4, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09088

    Abstract A thermo-chemo-mechanically (TCM) coupled peridynamic (PD) model is proposed to analyze the crack behavior in solids considering heat conduction, species diffusion, and chemical reactions. A PD theoretical framework is established based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The influences of species diffusion and chemical reactions on the Helmholtz free energy density and the subsequent formation and propagation of cracks are distinguished by introducing the concentration of diffusive species and the extent of the chemical reaction. Furthermore, inter-physics coupling coefficients are calibrated by equating the corresponding field in the PD model to the continuum mechanics under the same condition. More >

    3D Analysis of Effect of Graphite Morphology on Thermomechanical Behaviour of CGI

    Minghua Cao1,*, Konstantinos P. Baxevanakis1, Vadim V. Silberschmidt1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09086

    Abstract Compacted graphite iron (CGI) was attractive as an important material for the industry since its introduction in the last century. Thanks to its high strength, great wear resistance and thermal conductivity, CGI became extensively applied in the automotive industry as engine parts: brake drums, cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds. As a metal-matrix composite, CGI contains two microstructural phases: graphite inclusions and a metallic matrix. The main fracture mechanism of CGI under high-temperature service conditions at macroscale is linked to graphite-matrix (interfacial) debonding, formation of microcracks and their networks, and final failure of the material at… More >

    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 More >

    Peeling by Pulling: Characterizing the Mechanical Behavior of Nanoscale Thin Films

    Zhaohe Dai1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09223

    Abstract The flexible and clinging nature of ultra-thin films require the understanding of their elastic and adhesive properties in a wide range of circumstances from fabrications to applications. Simultaneously measuring both properties, however, is extremely difficult as the film thickness diminishes to nanoscales. In this talk, I will show our recent work that addresses such difficulties through peeling by vertically pulling thin films off from the substrates (we thus refer to it as “pull-to-peel”). Particularly, we perform in-situ pull-to-peel of graphene and MoS2 films in a scanning electron microscope and achieve simultaneous determination of their Young’s More >

    Thermal-Mechanical Buckling and Postbuckling Analysis of Thin-Walled Structures Using a Reduced Order Method

    Ke Liang1,*, Zhen Yin1, Zheng Li1, Jiaqi Mu1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.2, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09020

    Abstract Thermal-mechanical buckling has become one of the major failure modes of thin-walled structures which suffer from the high temperature service environment. These structures, such as plates and shells, are commonly involved in many branches of engineering, especially for the aerospace structures. Thermalmechanical buckling analysis plays an important role for lightweight design of aircrafts and launch vehicles, which significantly influences the load-carrying capability of the structure. Geometrical nonlinearities should be well considered to determine an accurate value of the critical buckling temperature/load as well as the postbuckling response.
    In this work, a reduced-order method is proposed for… More >

    Effects of Pre-straining on Material Anisotropy in Sheet Metals

    Peidong Wu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010491

    Abstract The material anisotropy of an aluminum sheet alloy is determined by performing tensile tests at different angles with respect to the rolling direction (RD). To study the effect of pre-straining on the evolution of material anisotropy, a very wide sheet is stretched to different strains in the transverse direction (TD). The material in the central region is very close to a state of in-plane plane strain tension. Small tensile samples are cut from the central region of the pre-strained wide sample. Tensile tests are then performed on these small tensile samples. By comparing the differences 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… More >

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09798

    Abstract In order to study the dynamic mechanical properties at high temperature and high strain rate [1] of Q245R steel after corrosion, the electrochemical accelerated corrosion test by constant current method and the high strain rate tensile test at high temperature [2] by High Temperature Synchronous Hopkinson Tensile test device were carried out. The test results show that Q245R steel has obvious strain rate strengthening effect and temperature softening effect, and under certain conditions, temperature becomes the main factor affecting the material properties. In order to consider the heat treatment and corrosion effects, the traditional Johnson-Cook More >
