    Ion dynamics and Manipulation Under Extreme Confinement

    Yahui Xue1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09724

    Abstract Ion dynamics and precise control in nanochannels play key roles in biological systems, energy conversation, and environmental engineering. However, the mechanics behaviors of ions and their manipulation mechanism under extreme confinement remain largely unexplored. Biological ion channels acting as life’s transistors can gate simultaneously fast and selective ion transport through atomic-scale filters to maintain vital life functions. This biological inspiration motivates the quest for artificial structures with simultaneous functions of ion selectivity, fast transport and electrical gating at the atomic scale. Here, we experimentally investigate the ion dynamics and electrical manipulation in graphene channels of 3 angstrom size and report… More >

    The Mechanical Property of 2D Materials and Potential Application in Gas Separation

    Dong Li1,*, Yonggang Zheng1, Hongwu Zhang1, Hongfei Ye1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09714

    Abstract The family of 2D transition-metal oxides and dichalcogenides with 1H phase (1H-MX2) has sparked great interest from the perspective of basic physics and applied science. Interestingly, their performances could be further regulated and improved through strain engineering. Effective regulation is founded on a wellunderstood mechanical performance, however, the large number of 1H-MX2 materials has not yet been revealed. Here, a general theoretical model is constructed based on the molecular mechanics, which provides an effective and rapid analytical algorithm for evaluating the mechanical properties of the entire family of 1H-MX2. The validity of the constructed model is verified by molecular dynamics… More >

    A Data-Fusion Method for Uncertainty Quantification of Mechanical Property of Bi-Modulus Materials: An Example of Graphite

    Liang Zhang1,*, Zigang He1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09713

    Abstract The different elastic properties of tension and compression are obvious in many engineering materials, especially new materials. Materials with this characteristic, such as graphite, ceramics, and composite materials, are called bi-modulus materials. Their mechanical properties such as Young’s modulus have randomness in tension and compression due to different porosity, microstructure, etc. To calibrate the mechanical properties of bi-modulus materials by bridging FEM simulation results and scarce experimental data, the paper presents a data-fusion computational method. The FEM simulation is implemented based on Parametric Variational Principle (PVP), while the experimental result is obtained by Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technology. To deal… More >

    Wetting and Capillary Condensation on the Nanoscale

    Fengchao Wang1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09711

    Abstract Wetting and capillary phenomena on the macroscale are ubiquitous and have been well understood. However, the relevant physics and mechanics on the nano-scale still remain mysterious. In this talk, I would like to discuss the exploration of capillarity from a nanoscopic perspective, including wetting, evaporation and condensation. At the solid/liquid interface, the liquid exhibits a pronounced layered structure that extends over several intermolecular distances from the solid surface. Our recent studies have shown that such molecular detail could provide some new understanding on century-old classical theory in this field, such as Young’s equation [1] and Kelvin equation [2].

    Multiscale Modelling of Normal Fault Rupture-Soil-Foundation Interaction

    Lifan Chen1,*, Ning Guo1, Zhongxuan Yang1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09709

    Abstract A multiscale approach [1] that couples the finite-element method (FEM) and the discrete-element method (DEM) is employed to model and analyse the earthquake fault rupture-soil-foundation interaction (FR-SFI) problem. In the approach, the soil constitutive responses are obtained from DEM solutions of representative volume elements (RVEs) embedded at the FEM integration points so as to effectively bypass the phenomenological hypotheses in conventional FEM simulations. The fault rupture surfaces and shear localization patterns under normal faults with or without foundation atop have been well captured by the multiscale approach and verified with available centrifuge experimental [2] and numerical results [3]. By examining… More >

    Numerical Simulation of Non-Gaussian Winds and Application on Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

    Shu Dai1,*, Bert Sweetman2

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09687

    Abstract Short-term wind process is normally assumed to be a Gaussian distribution, such as TurbSim, the widely used 3D wind field tool. Nowadays, newest researches indicate that non-Gaussian wind model is believed to be more accurate according to the field observation data. A new numerical method is proposed to generate non-Gaussian wind filed using translation process theory and spectral representation method. This study presents a comprehensive investigation on power production and blades fatigue damage of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) to the non-Gaussian wind field. The comparisons of Gaussian and non-Gaussian simulation results indicate that the non-Gaussian wind fields will cost… More >

    A Novel Finite Difference Method for Solving Nonlinear Static Beam Equations of Wind Turbine Blade Under Large Deflections

    Hang Meng1,*, Jiaxing Wu1, Guangxing Wu1, Kai Long1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09685

    Abstract Wind energy is one of the most promising renewable energies in the world. To generate more electricity, the wind turbines are getting larger and larger in recent decades [1]. With the wind turbine size growing, the length of the blade is getting slender. The large deflections of slender wind turbine blade will inevitably lead to geometric nonlinearities [2], e.g. nonlinear coupling between torsion and deflection, which complicates the governing equations of motion. To simplify the solution of the nonlinear equations, in the current research, a novel finite-difference method was proposed to solve the nonlinear equations of static beam model for… More >

    Kinetic Photovoltage from Moving Boundaries of Electrical Double Layer

    Jun Yin1,*, Jidong Li1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09679

    Abstract External photo-stimuli on heterojunctions commonly induce an electric potential gradient across the interface therein, such as photovoltaic effect, giving rise to various present-day technical devices. In contrast, in-plane potential gradient along the interface has been rarely observed. Here we show that moving a light beam at the semiconductor-water interface, i.e. creating a moving boundary of electrical double layers between the illuminated and dark regions, induce a potential gradient along the semiconductor. It is attributed to the following movement of a charge packet in the vicinity of the silicon surface, whose formation is driven by a built-in electrical field associated with… More >

    Fracture of Soft Materials with Interfaces: Phase Field Modeling Based on Hybrid ES-FEM/FEM

    Shuyu Chen1,*, Jun Zeng1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09672

    Abstract The engineering application prospects of soft materials in key areas such as aerospace and life science have stimulated extensive research interests in the academic community. An important topic here is to predict the service and failure behavior of such materials. Although considerable progress has been made, realworld application scenarios usually involve bi-material as well as multi-material adhesion, with cohesive interface rupture as the main failure vehicle. Inconsistent asymptotic solutions in the context of large deformations pose obstacles to the establishment of a theoretical framework for the interface fracture problem in soft materials [1]. Driven by both engineering and academia, numerical… More >

    Numerical Simulation of Multiphase Flow in Subsurface Reservoirs: Existing Challenges and New Treatments

    Shuyu Sun1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09671

    Abstract Two or multiple phases commonly occur as fluid mixture in petroleum industry, where oil, gas and water are often produced and transported together. As a result, petroleum reservoir engineers spent great efforts in the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs by conducting and interpolating the simulation of multiphase flows in porous geological formation. Meanwhile, environmental scientists use subsurface flow and transport models to investigate and compare for example various schemes to inject and store CO2 in subsurface geological formations, such as depleted reservoirs and deep saline aquifers. In this work, we first present an introduction of numerical simulation… More >
