    Classification and Optimization Model of Mesoporous Carbons Pore Structure and Adsorption Properties Based on Support Vector Machine

    Zhen Yang1, Xingsheng Gu2, Xiaoyi Liang1,3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.74, No.3&4, pp. 161-182, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.074.161
    Abstract Mesoporous carbons are synthesized by organic-organic self-assembly of triblock copolymer F127 and a new type of carbon precursor as resorcinol-furfural oligomers. Some factors will impact the mesoporous carbons pore structure and properties were studied. The main factors, such as the ratio of triblock copolymer F127 and oligomers, degree of polymerizstry of resorcinol-furfural oligomers, the ratio of resorcinol-furfural oligomers - F/R, and their mutual relations were identified. Aimed at balancing the complex characteristic of mesoporous structure and adsorption properties, a classification and optimization model based on support vector machine is developed. The optimal operation conditions of Barret-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) adsorption cumulative volume… More >

    Application of An Atomistic Field Theory to Nano/Micro Materials Modeling and Simulation

    Xiaowei Zeng1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.74, No.3&4, pp. 183-202, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.074.183
    Abstract This paper presents an atomistic field theory and its application in modeling and simulation of nano/micro materials. Atomistic formulation and finite element implementation of the atomistic field theory is briefly introduced. Numerical simulations based on the field theory are performed to investigate the material behaviors of bcc iron at coarse-grained scale and we have obtained the mechanical strength and elastic modulus, which are in good agreement with results by first principles calculations. Also the nanoscale deformation and failure mechanism are revealed in bcc iron nanorods under simple tension. It is interesting to observe that under tensile loading, iron has gone… More >

    Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent-Supersonic Boundary Layer Subjected to Multiple Distortions

    W. A. El-Askary1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.74, No.3&4, pp. 203-232, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.074.203
    Abstract Large eddy simulation (LES) is a viable and powerful tool to analyze unsteady three- dimensional turbulent flows. In this paper, the method of LES is used to compute a plane turbulent supersonic boundary layer subjected to different pressure gradients. The pressure gradients are generated by allowing the flow to pass in the vicinity of an expansion-compression ramp (inclined backward-facing step with leeward-face angle of 25 degrees) for an upstream Mach number of 2.9. The inflow boundary condition is the main problem for all turbulent wall-bounded flows. An approach to solve this problem is to extract instantaneous velocities, temperature and density… More >

    Stress Function of Rock Surrounding the Circular Roadway with Uniform and Local Support by Natural BEM

    Dan Ma1,2, Xianbiao Mao1, Xiexing Miao1, Shaojie Liu1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.74, No.3&4, pp. 233-246, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.074.233
    Abstract Rock surrounding the circular roadway with uniform and local support is one of the most common phenomenons in roadway support engineering, which needs to be studied thoroughly at the theoretical level. The existing literatures on stress field function of rock surrounding the roadway is largely restricted to analytical solutions of stress for roadways with a uniform support or no support at all, the corresponding stress solution under conditions of local support has not been provided. Based on the mechanical models of uniform support and local support, the methods of the complex variable function and the complex Fourier series, using the… More >

    Numerical Simulation of Gas-assisted Injection Molding Process for A Door Handle

    Qiang Li, Jie Ouyang1, Xuejuan Li2, Guorong Wu2, Binxin Yang2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.74, No.3&4, pp. 247-268, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.074.247
    Abstract A unified mathematical model is proposed to predict the short shot, primary and secondary gas penetration phenomenon in gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) process, where the Cross-WLF model and two-domain modified Tait equation are employed to simulate the melt viscosity and density in the whole process, respectively. The governing equations of two-phase flows including gas, air and polymer melt are solved using finite volume method with SIMPLEC technology. At first, two kinds of U-shaped gas channels are modeled, where the shape corner and generous corner cases are studied. At last, as a case study, the short shot, primary and secondary gas… More >

    A Cell Method Model for Sintered Alloys

    Francesca Cosmi1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.74, No.3&4, pp. 269-282, 2011, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2011.074.269
    Abstract In industrial applications, microstructure inhomogeneities can derive from the manufacturing process and the final mechanical properties of the material depend on the resulting, complex, structural pattern of the constituents. In this paper, Cell Method plane models in the elastic and plastic fields are presented and applied to predict the behaviour of four sintered alloys, where the spatial arrangement of voids within the base material contributes to determine the mechanical behaviour. Unlike the Finite Elements and other methods, the Cell Method is a numerical method based on a direct discrete formulation of equilibrium equations, so that no differential formulation is needed… More >
