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 >

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 >

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 >

Abstract Acoustic radiation and propagation characteristics of underwater elastic structures are an organic whole, which should be considered comprehensively. Based on the three-dimensional sono-elasticity theory of ships, the integrated calculation method of acoustic radiation and propagation in ocean environment is realized by using the simple source boundary integral equation. The correctness and accuracy of the method are verified by a series of examples. Based on the domestic supercomputer platform, the parallel transformation of the algorithm is completed, and the two-level multi-core parallel is realized, which greatly improves the computing efficiency. The application of acoustic radiation calculation in composite structures is carried… More >

Abstract Alkaline water electrolysis system for hydrogen production has the characteristics of complex structure, fault coupling and state nonlinearity, coupled with the restriction by many factors such as data acquisition methods and analysis methods. The operation status cannot be fully characterized through current monitoring information. In order to solve the problems in health status assessment in the operation of alkaline water electrolysis system, a digital twin-driven predictive maintenance method is put forward to achieve the real-time monitoring of operation status and prediction of remaining useful life. In the study, a multi-disciplinary simulation model of the alkaline electrolysis system and a physical… More >

Abstract The paper presents a novel fast calculation method for broadband Electromagnetic Scattering analysis. In this work, the isogeometric boundary element method is used to solve Helmholtz equations for the electromagnetic scattering problems. The non-uniform rational B-splines are employed to construct structural geometries and discretize electric and magnetic field integral equations [1,2]. To avoid timeconsuming multi-frequency calculations, the series expansion method is used to decouple the frequencydependent terms from the integrand in the boundary element method [3,4]. The second-order Arnoldi (SOAR) method is applied to construct a reduced-order model that retains the essential structures and key properties of the original model… More >

Abstract Fracture analysis is a problem playing a fundamental role in the fields of Aerospace Mechanics and Structural Mechanics. The paper deals with the analysis of the most essential among the fracture problems: the one-dimensional crack in a double cantilever beam. The report presents a reliable analytical method to correctly partition the energy release rates into pure fracture modes, appliable to both isotropic and composite beams with clearly known mechanical properties, subject to shearing or bending loads. The adopted strategy is based on the Timoshenko’s kinematic model and exploits the theoretical definition of the I and II pure energy release rate… More >

Abstract Nuclear fuel cladding tubes have a outer diameter about 10 mm with a wall thickness about 0.5 mm. Their mechanical properties hence cannot be researched using standard test methods. In this study, small punch test (SPT) was developed to research the mechanical properties of nuclear fuel cladding tubes. Instead of plate SPT specimen, tube specimen was used to research fracture toughness and creep properties. Fninite elment simulation based on GTN model was used to verify the proposed method. Results indicated that the tube specimen with a noth can be sufficiently to research fracture toughness. The small punch creep test (SPCT)… More >

Abstract Instability in dynamic fracture suppresses crack velocity from reaching theoretical limit predicted by the classical linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). In thin systems, crack can accelerate to near the theoretical limiting velocity without micro-branching instability. A dynamic oscillatory instability is observed at such extreme crack speed. This sinusoidal oscillation was further found to be governed by intrinsic nonlinear scale. Using a dynamic phase-field model (PFM) with no attenuation of wave speed, we successfully reproduce the oscillations in the framework of non-linear deformation. The used PFM model based on Griffith's theory and derived from the nonconservative Lagrange's equation. To deal with… More >

Abstract The phase-field fracture (PFF) approach has achieved great triumphs in modeling quasi-static fracture. Nevertheless, its reliability in serving dynamic fractures still leaves something to be desired, such as the prediction of the limiting crack velocity. Using a pre-strained fracture configuration, we discovered a disturbing phenomenon that the crack limiting speed identified by the dynamic PFF model is not related to the specific material, which seriously deviates from the experimental observation. To ascertain the truth, we first ruled out the correlation between the limiting crack velocity on the phase-field characteristic scale and external loading. Afterward, by switching between different crack surface… More >
