Abstract Dynamic fracture is an important class of damage widely present in engineering materials and structures, e.g., high-speed impact and explosion. In recent years, the phase field approach to fracture proposed by Bourdin et al. [1] becomes popular for complicated fracture problems for its ability to simulate crack nucleation, propagation, branching, and merging without extra criteria, and the crack path does not need to be tracked, which makes the implementation straightforward and the calculation efficient. However, one of the major issues of the phase field method is the high computational cost due to the need of… More >

Abstract The dynamic failure process of structures under impact and explosive loading is very common in both military and industrial fields. However, the conventional mesh-based method has some shortcomings, such as large mesh distortion and sliding surface treatment. Some typical phenomena are difficult to be simulated. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method has natural advantages in treating large material deformations in impact and explosion problems [1]. To make the SPH method suitable for the impact and explosion problems, it is also improved by some treatments [2] to avoid inherent stress instability and unphysical oscillation. However, numerical… More >

Abstract CFRPs (carbon fiber reinforced plastics), as a kind of fiber-reinforced plastic, present various advantages over traditional materials regarding the specific strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance. For this reason, CFRPs are widely used in the space industry, like satellites and space stations, which are easily subjected to the HVIs (hypervelocity impacts) threatened by space debris. In order to mitigate the damage of HVIs and protect the spatial structures, it is necessary to predict the HVI process on CFRPs. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, as a mesh-free particle-based method, has been widely applied for modeling HVI problems… More >

Abstract 3D models are essential in virtual reality, game development, architecture design, engineering drawing, medicine, and more. Compared to digital images, 3D models can provide more realistic visual effects. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the field of digital image encryption, and researchers have developed new algorithms that are more secure and efficient. However, there needs to be more research on 3D model encryption. This paper proposes a new 3D model encryption algorithm, called the 1D map with sin and logistic coupling (1D-MWSLC), because existing digital image encryption algorithms cannot be directly applied… More >

Abstract In this paper, Nusselt numbers for a power-law fluid in a fully developed laminar flow between parallel plates with constant, and different, wall heat fluxes in the presence of dissipation effects are presented. The Nusselt numbers values were obtained following two different approaches. One is the “classical” approach, based on a single bulk temperature, and this approach is used in this work to obtain for the first time generic analytical expressions for Nusselt numbers. In the new approach, different bulk temperatures are used for each Nu′ determination, one bulk temperature for each side of the More >

Abstract This paper presents the design and simulation of a thin film microheater. This can have promising applications in bio-medical analysis, explosive detection, gas sensing, and micro-thrusters. An approach is presented to enhance the thermal uniformity of parallel microheater. The modeling of microheater is done using glass as a substrate material. The analysis is carried out with different resistive material for the heater. To study the response of the microheater to the different supply voltage, substrate thickness, and time interval, finite element simulation is carried out with commercial FEM analysis tool- COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2a. The proposed More >

Abstract The purpose of the present paper is to numerically investigate two plane turbulent parallel jets using CFD model. A parametric study was carried out to evaluate the simultaneous effect of the nozzle spacing and the velocity ratio on the merge point (MP), the combined points (CP) as well as the upper (UVC) and lower (LVC) vortices centers positions. Results show that the velocity ratio significantly affects twin-parallel jets flow structure. In fact, increasing the velocity ratio moves the MP, CP, UVC and LVC further upstream along the longitudinal direction while deflecting toward the stronger jet More >

Abstract A two-dimensional model, employing a dynamic mesh technology, is used to simulate numerically the transient multiphase flow field produced by two submerged parallel guns. After a grid refinement study ensuring grid independence, five different conditions are considered to assess the evolution of cavitation occurring in proximity to the gun muzzle. The simulation results show that flow interference is enabled when the distance between the parallel barrels is relatively small; accordingly, the generation and evolution of the vapor cavity becomes more complex. By means of the Q criterion for vorticity detection, it is shown that cavitation More >

Abstract Fluid flow and natural convection heat transfer in a parallelogram enclosure with an inner circular cylinder using Cu-water nanofluid are studied numerically. Dimensionless Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved numerically using finite element method based two-dimensional flow and steady-state conditions. This study evaluates the effect of different concentrations of Cu-water nanofluids (0% to 6%) with different Rayleigh numbers 10³ ≤ Ra ≤ 10⁶ under isotherm wall temperatures. The effects of geometrical parameters of the parallelogram enclosure (inclination angle in range of 0 ≤ α ≤ 30 and location of inner circular cylinder -0.2 ≤ H ≤… More >

Abstract Given the challenges of manufacturing resource sharing and competition in the modern manufacturing industry, the coordinated scheduling problem of parallel machine production and transportation is investigated. The problem takes into account the coordination of production and transportation before production as well as the disparities in machine spatial position and performance. A non-cooperative game model is established, considering the competition and self-interest behavior of jobs from different customers for machine resources. The job from different customers is mapped to the players in the game model, the corresponding optional processing machine and location are mapped to the… More >
