    Abstract Thermally grown oxide (TGO) is a critical factor for the service life of thermal barrier coatings (TBC). Numerical simulations of the growth process of TGO have become an effective means of comprehensively understanding the progressive damage of the TBC system. At present, technologies of numerical simulation to TGO growth include two categories: coupled chemical-mechanical methods and mechanical equivalent methods. The former is based on the diffusion analysis of oxidizing elements, which can describe the influence of bond coat (BC) consumption and phase transformation in the growth process of TGO on the mechanical behavior of each layer of TBC, and has… More >

    Abstract Excellent student’s academic performance is the uppermost priority and goal of educators and facilitators. The dubious marginal rate between admission and graduation rates unveils the rates of dropout and withdrawal from school. To improve the academic performance of students, we optimize the performance indices to the dynamics describing the academic performance in the form of nonlinear system ODE. We established the uniform boundedness of the model and the existence and uniqueness result. The independence and interdependence equilibria were found to be locally and globally asymptotically stable. The optimal control analysis was carried out, and lastly, numerical simulation was run to… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.132, No.2, pp. 451-469, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.020111
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: New Trends in Structural Optimization)
    Abstract The integration of topology optimization (TO) and additive manufacturing (AM) technologies can create significant synergy benefits, while the lack of AM-friendly TO algorithms is a serious bottleneck for the application of TO in AM. In this paper, a TO method is proposed to design self-supporting structures with an explicit continuous self-supporting constraint, which can be adaptively activated and tightened during the optimization procedure. The TO procedure is suitable for various critical overhang angles (COA), which is integrated with build direction assignment to reduce performance loss. Besides, a triangular directional self-supporting constraint sensitivity filter is devised to promote the downward evolution… More >

    Yongsong Li1, Xiaomeng Yin2, Yanming Xu1,*
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.132, No.2, pp. 471-488, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.020201
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Recent Advance of the Isogeometric Boundary Element Method and its Applications)
    Abstract The isogeometric boundary element technique (IGABEM) is presented in this study for steady-state inhomogeneous heat conduction analysis. The physical unknowns in the boundary integral formulations of the governing equations are discretized using non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) basis functions, which are utilized to build the geometry of the structures. To speed up the assessment of NURBS basis functions, the B´ezier extraction approach is used. To solve the extra domain integrals, we use a radial integration approach. The numerical examples show the potential of IGABEM for dimension reduction and smooth integration of CAD and numerical analysis. More >

    Abstract In modern industry, process monitoring plays a significant role in improving the quality of process conduct. With the higher dimensional of the industrial data, the monitoring methods based on the latent variables have been widely applied in order to decrease the wasting of the industrial database. Nevertheless, these latent variables do not usually follow the Gaussian distribution and thus perform unsuitable when applying some statistics indices, especially the T2 on them. Variational AutoEncoders (VAE), an unsupervised deep learning algorithm using the hierarchy study method, has the ability to make the latent variables follow the Gaussian distribution.

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.132, No.2, pp. 553-568, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2022.020756
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Computer-Aided Structural Integrity and Safety Assessment)
    Abstract Actual engineering systems will be inevitably affected by uncertain factors. Thus, the Reliability-Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (RBMDO) has become a hotspot for recent research and application in complex engineering system design. The Second-Order/First-Order Mean-Value Saddlepoint Approximate (SOMVSA/FOMVSA) are two popular reliability analysis strategies that are widely used in RBMDO. However, the SOMVSA method can only be used efficiently when the distribution of input variables is Gaussian distribution, which significantly limits its application. In this study, the Gaussian Mixture Model-based Second-Order Mean-Value Saddlepoint Approximation (GMM-SOMVSA) is introduced to tackle above problem. It is integrated with the Collaborative Optimization (CO) method to… More >

    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Extension, Modeling and Applications of Fuzzy Set Theory in Engineering and Science)
    Abstract The simplified neutrosophic number (SNN) can represent uncertain, imprecise, incomplete, and inconsistent information that exists in scientific, technological, and engineering fields. Hence, it is a useful tool for describing truth, falsity, and indeterminacy information in multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. To suit decision makers’ preference selection, the operational flexibility of aggregation operators shows its importance in dealing with the flexible decision-making problems in the SNN environment. To solve this problem, this paper develops the Aczel-Alsina aggregation operators of SNNs for MADM problems in view of the Aczel-Alsina operational flexibility. First, we define the Aczel-Alsina operations of SNNs. Then, the Aczel-Alsina… More >

    Abstract Distributed collaborative control strategies for microgrids often use periodic time to trigger communication, which is likely to enhance the burden of communication and increase the frequency of controller updates, leading to greater waste of communication resources. In response to this problem, a distributed cooperative control strategy triggered by an adaptive event is proposed. By introducing an adaptive event triggering mechanism in the distributed controller, the triggering parameters are dynamically adjusted so that the distributed controller can communicate only at a certain time, the communication pressure is reduced, and the DC bus voltage deviation is effectively reduced, at the same time,… More >
