Abstract A semi-analytical approach is presented to solve two-dimensional interior and exterior acoustic problems with elliptical boundaries. The eigenproblems for the interior domain and the scattering problems for the exterior domain are both to be investigated. To satisfy the Helmholtz equation in elliptical coordinates, the multipole expansion for the acoustic pressure is formulated in terms of angular and radial Mathieu functions. The boundary conditions are satisfied by uniformly collocating points on the boundaries. The acoustic pressure at each boundary point is directly calculated in each local elliptical coordinate system. For the multiply connected domain problems, the normal derivative of the acoustic… More >

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Many victims of the disease died suddenly without prior symptoms. It is a great challenge for clinicians and researchers to develop screening techniques and assessment methodologies to identify those patients for early treatment and prevention of the fatal clinical event. Considerable effort has been devoted investigating mechanisms governing atherosclerotic plaque progression and rupture [Friedman, Bargeron, Deters, Hutchins and Mark (1987); Friedman and Giddens (2005); Giddens, Zarins, Glagov, S.

Abstract The analyses of bird strike are of great concern to aircraft designers, because bird strikes can cause very serious problems to flight safety. Meshfree particle methods are suitable for simulating bird strike problems owing to their advantages in dealing with large deformation, fracture and fluid-structure interaction. The material point method (MPM) is employed to analyze the impacting of bird on windshield in this talk in which both the bird and the windshield are discretized by material points. The material model of the bird is accompanied by an appropriate equation of state (EOS) to model the flow behavior during impact, while… More >

Abstract Abstract The presentation is mainly devoted to the research on the regularized boundary integral equations with indirect unknowns for anisotropic elastic problems. Based on a new idea, a novel regularization technique is pursued, in which the nonsingular indirect BIE excluding the CPV and HFP integrals is established. The proposed indirect BEM has many advantages. Firstly, the anisotropic problems to be considered can be solved directly without transforming them into isotropic ones so that no inverse transform is required. Secondly, the proposed method doesn't need to calculate multiple integral as the Galerkin method, and but rather treat CPV integrals indirectly, so… More >

Abstract The in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method has been developed to probe the novel properties of nanomateials. It is powerful in a way that it can directly correlate the microstructure of the nanomaterials with their physical properties for the same nanoscale sample. In this talk, I will report on the construction and applications of a home-made in-situ TEM platform for nanomanipulation and nanomeasurements.
Mechanics and electromechanical coupling of individual nanowires have been studied inside TEM. The mechanism of resistance switching effects of nanoscale ionic conductors has been revealed by in-situ TEM high-resolution observation. And the transport properties of carbon… More >

Abstract This paper presents a method for the large strain consolidation analysis of soft-clay road embankment with stochastic parameters to random excitation. Based on the large strain theory of continuum material, Biot consolidation theory and Neumann stochastic finite element method (NSFEM), the large strain consolidation NSFEM (LSC-NSFEM) has been established. A program of LSC-NSFEM is designed to analyze soft-clay road embankment. The residue iteration method is used to deal with the nonlinear fluctuating part of stiffness matrix, and the approximate algorithm of the fluctuating part of stiffness matrix is designed to improve LSC-NSFEM program efficiency.

Abstract Fourier transform method has been widely sued on fringe analysis in optical metrology, including the structured illumination metrology and the interference metrology. The Fourier transform profilometry is one of the popular non-contact 3-D shape measurement methods, where a Ronchi grating or sinusoidal grating is projected onto a 3-D diffuse surface, and the resulting deformed grating image is detected by a CCD camera and processed by a computer. This method requires only one frame of the deformed fringe pattern to retrieve the surface of measured object, so it has obvious advantage for real-time data acquisition and 3-D measurement of dynamic process.… More >

Abstract It is well known that the coupling nature of piezoelectric materials has led to their wide applications. Interface failure is one of the most dominant failure mechanisms in laminated piezoelectric elements and structures. A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed, to solve the interface crack problem between two dissimilar piezoelectric solids. Permeable and impermeable electrical boundary conditions are considered on the crack faces. Stationary governing equations for electrical fields and the elastodynamic equations with an inertial term for two-dimensional (2-D) mechanical fields are considered. Nodal points are spread on the analyzed domain, and each node is… More >

Abstract Linear rolling ball guideway is a key component of many machines. However, due to the point contact between the ball and the groove, stiffness of linear guideway is the major factor which affects the rigidity and precision of machines. Preload in the guideway can increase the stiffness of linear guideway and thus reduces the position deviation under an external load. The purpose of this study is to develop FEA and compare the results with experimental results to prove the correctness of the FEA model. This model can be used to predict the stiffness of linear guideway with 4 rows of… More >

Abstract Dynamic behaviors of tensile strength of brittle materials are investigated analytically, and an explicit mathematical expression for the dynamic tensile strength under a quadratic boundary loading is derived, together with the so-called structural-temporal failure criterion. The analytical solution shows reasonably good agreement with the previous dynamic experimental data. Moreover, it is shown by using the explicit expression that the dynamic tensile strength of brittle materials can be determined completely by the quasistatic material parameters such as the quasistatic tensile strength, material density and the incubation-time, which implies that the so-called strain-rate effect on the strength of brittle materials should not… More >
