    Characteristic Tensor for Evaluation of Singular Stress Field Under Mixed-Mode Loadings

    Kei Saito1, 2, *, Tei Hirashima1, Ninshu Ma2, *, Hidekazu Murakawa2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.122, No.2, pp. 415-432, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.08847 - 01 February 2020
    Abstract A characteristic tensor is defined using stress tensor averaged in a small circular domain at the crack tip and multiplied by the root of domain radius. It possesses the original stress tensor characteristics and has a simple relationship with conventional fracture-mechanics parameters. Therefore, it can be used to estimate stress intensity factors (SIFs) for cracks of arbitrary shape subjected to multiaxial stress loads. A characteristic tensor can also be used to estimate SIFs for kinked cracks. This study examines the relation between a characteristic tensor and SIFs to demonstrate the correlation between the characteristic tensor… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.122, No.2, pp. 433-458, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.08680 - 01 February 2020
    （This article belongs to the Special Issue: Recent Developments of Isogeometric Analysis and its Applications in Structural Optimization)
    Abstract Focusing on the structural optimization of auxetic materials using data-driven methods, a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) based design framework is developed for petal-shaped auxetics using isogeometric analysis. Adopting a NURBS-based parametric modelling scheme with a small number of design variables, the highly nonlinear relation between the input geometry variables and the effective material properties is obtained using BPNN-based fitting method, and demonstrated in this work to give high accuracy and efficiency. Such BPNN-based fitting functions also enable an easy analytical sensitivity analysis, in contrast to the generally complex procedures of typical shape and size sensitivity More >

    Reusing the Evaluations of Basis Functions in the Integration for Isogeometric Analysis

    Zijun Wu1, Shuting Wang2, Wenjun Shao3, *, Lianqing Yu1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.122, No.2, pp. 459-485, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.08697 - 01 February 2020
    （This article belongs to the Special Issue: Recent Developments of Isogeometric Analysis and its Applications in Structural Optimization)
    Abstract We propose a new approach to reuse the basis function evaluations in the numerical integration of isogeometric analysis. The concept of reusability of the basis functions is introduced according to their symmetrical, translational and proportional features on both the coarse and refined levels. Based on these features and the parametric domain regularity of each basis, we classify the bases on the original level and then reuse them on the refined level, which can reduce the time for basis calculations at integration nodes. By using the sum factorization method and the mean value theorem for the More >

    The m-delay Autoregressive Model with Application

    Manlika Ratchagit1, Benchawan Wiwatanapataphee1, Nikolai Dokuchaev1, *
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.122, No.2, pp. 487-504, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.08865 - 01 February 2020
    Abstract The classical autoregressive (AR) model has been widely applied to predict future data using m past observations over five decades. As the classical AR model required m unknown parameters, this paper implements the AR model by reducing m parameters to two parameters to obtain a new model with an optimal delay called as the m-delay AR model. We derive the m-delay AR formula for approximating two unknown parameters based on the least squares method and develop an algorithm to determine optimal delay based on a brute-force technique. The performance of the m-delay AR model was tested by comparing More >

    Abstract Scene recognition is a popular open problem in the computer vision field. Among lots of methods proposed in recent years, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based approaches achieve the best performance in scene recognition. We propose in this paper an advanced feature fusion algorithm using Multiple Convolutional Neural Network (MultiCNN) for scene recognition. Unlike existing works that usually use individual convolutional neural network, a fusion of multiple different convolutional neural networks is applied for scene recognition. Firstly, we split training images in two directions and apply to three deep CNN model, and then extract features from More >

    Abstract Detached eddy simulation has been widely applied to simulate the flow around trains in recent years. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model for delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) is an essential user input. The effect of the RANS model for DDES on the aerodynamic characteristics of a train in crosswinds is investigated in this study. Three different DDES models are used, based on the Spalart-Allmaras model (SA), the realizable k-ε model (RKE), and the shear stress transport k-ω model (SST). Results show that all DDES models can give relatively accurate predictions of pressure coefficient on almost all More >

    Abstract A beam approximation method for dynamic analysis of launch vehicles modelled as stiffened cylindrical shells is proposed. Firstly, an initial beam model of the stiffened cylindrical shell is established based on the cross-sectional area equivalence principle that represents the shell skin and its longitudinal ribs as a beam with annular cross-section, and the circumferential ribs as lumped masses at the nodes of the beam elements. Then, a fine finite element model (FE model) of the stiffened cylindrical shell is constructed and a modal analysis is carried out. Finally, the initial beam model is improved through… More >

    Abstract With the advent of deep learning, self-driving schemes based on deep learning are becoming more and more popular. Robust perception-action models should learn from data with different scenarios and real behaviors, while current end-to-end model learning is generally limited to training of massive data, innovation of deep network architecture, and learning in-situ model in a simulation environment. Therefore, we introduce a new image style transfer method into data augmentation, and improve the diversity of limited data by changing the texture, contrast ratio and color of the image, and then it is extended to the scenarios… More >

To investigate this issue, laboratory confined compression tests and numerical simulations were conducted on pre-holed sandstone specimens after heat treatment. The laboratory test results show that the failure modes are closely related to the heat treatment temperature, with increasing treatment temperature, the failure modes change from mixed and shear modes to a splitting mode. The cracks always initiate from the sidewalls of the hole and then propagate. The failure process inside the hole… More >

Indeed, the exact solution of the DMBBM equation is obtained by using the extended Jacobian elliptic function expansion method. The current methods give a wider applicability for handling nonlinear wave equations in engineering and mathematical physics. The adaptive moving mesh method is compared with exact solution by numerical examples, where the explicit solutions are known. The numerical results verify the accuracy of the proposed method.
