Abstract This study presents a framework involving statistical modeling and machine learning to accurately predict and optimize the mechanical and damping properties of hybrid granite–epoxy (G–E) composites reinforced with cast iron (CI) filler particles. Hybrid G–E composite with added cast iron (CI) filler particles enhances stiffness, strength, and vibration damping, offering enhanced performance for vibration-sensitive engineering applications. Unlike conventional approaches, this work simultaneously employs Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for high-accuracy property prediction and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for in-depth analysis of factor interactions and optimization.

Abstract This study explores theoretical insights and experimental results on monitoring load-carrying capacity degradation in bridge spans through frequency analysis. Experiments were conducted on real bridge structures, including the Binh Thuan Bridge, focusing on analyzing the power spectral density (PSD) of vibration signals under random traffic loads. Detailed digital models of various bridge spans with different structural designs and construction periods were developed to ensure diversity. The study utilized PSD to analyze the vibration signals from the bridge spans under various loading conditions, identifying the vibration frequencies and the corresponding response regions.

Abstract This study investigates the uncertain dynamic characterization of hybrid composite plates by employing advanced machine-assisted finite element methodologies. Hybrid composites, widely used in aerospace, automotive, and structural applications, often face variability in material properties, geometric configurations, and manufacturing processes, leading to uncertainty in their dynamic response. To address this, three surrogate-based machine learning approaches like radial basis function (RBF), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and polynomial neural networks (PNN) are integrated with a finite element framework to efficiently capture the stochastic behavior of these plates. The research focuses on predicting the first three natural frequencies… More >

Abstract Traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are computationally expensive when applied to complex fluid–structure interaction problems and often struggle to capture the essential flow features governing vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of floating structures. To overcome these limitations, this study develops a hybrid framework that integrates high-fidelity CFD modeling with deep learning techniques to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of VIV response prediction. First, an unstructured finite-volume fluid–structure coupling model is established to generate high-resolution flow field data and extract multi-component time-series feature tensors. These tensors serve as inputs to a Squeeze-and-Excitation Convolutional Neural Network (SE-CNN), which… More >

Abstract The application of carbon capture systems on ships is technically constrained by limited onboard space and the weight of the conventional absorption tower. The rotating packed bed (RPB) has emerged as a promising alternative due to its small footprint and high mass transfer performance. However, despite its advantages, the structural and vibration stability of RPBs at high rotational speed remains insufficiently studied, and no international design standards currently exist for RPBs. To address this gap, this study performed a comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS to investigate the structural and dynamic characteristics of an… More >

Abstract The analysis of the dynamics of surface girders is of great importance in the design of engineering structures such as steel welded bridge plane girders or concrete plate-column structures. This work is an extension of the classical deterministic problem of free vibrations of thin (Kirchhoff) plates. The main aim of this work is the study of stochastic eigenvibrations of thin (Kirchhoff) elastic plates resting on internal continuous and column supports by the Boundary Element Method (BEM). This work is a continuation of previous research related to the random approach in plate analysis using the BEM.… More >

Abstract As a core component of power systems, the operational status of transformers directly affects grid stability. To address the problem of “domain shift” in cross-domain fault diagnosis, this paper proposes a memory-enhanced dual-stream network (MemFuse-DSN). The method reconstructs the feature space by selecting and enhancing multi-source domain samples based on similarity metrics. An adaptive weighted dual-stream architecture is designed, integrating gradient reversal and orthogonality constraints to achieve efficient feature alignment. In addition, a novel dual dynamic memory module is introduced: the task memory bank is used to store high-confidence class prototype information, and adopts an More >

Abstract To address the issue of computational inefficiency arising from the large dimensionality of dynamic matrices in the train-track-tunnel-soil (TTTS) dynamic model, this study integrates the spectral element method (SEM) and finite element method (FEM) to develop a highly efficient dynamic model for the TTTS system. The model leverages the distinct vibration characteristics of the near- and far- field regions of TTTS system, employing different modelling approaches: the FEM, known for its superior shape adaptability and precise high-frequency dynamic response computation, is applied to the tunnel and near-field soil; the SEM, recognized for its rapid convergence… More >

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) analytical formulation is proposed to put together magnetic, electric and elastic fields to analyze the vibration modes of simply-supported layered piezo-electro-magnetic plates. The present 3D model allows analyses for layered smart plates in both open-circuit and closed-circuit configurations. The second-order differential equations written in the mixed curvilinear reference system govern the magneto-electro-elastic free vibration problem for multilayered plates. This set consists of the 3D equations of motion and the 3D divergence equations for the magnetic induction and electric displacement. Navier harmonic forms in the planar directions and the exponential matrix method in… More >

Abstract In modern engineering, situations that require vibration reduction often come with specific pressure requirements. Mechanical metamaterials have the advantages in mechanical loading and low-frequency band gap vibration reduction. To ensure that the structure has a wide and low-frequency band gap while having a pressure resistance, a two-dimensional triangular concave negative Poisson's ratio structure with strong pressure resistance is introduced. The internal structure is designed according to the principle of local resonance. The band structure and intrinsic modes of the two-dimensional triangular concave model are calculated by the finite element method through simulation software. The band… More >
