    Particle Dynamics in a Low-Reynolds-Number Fluid Under Spherical Confinement

    Gaofeng Chen1,2, Xikai Jiang1,2,*
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09877
    Abstract Dynamics of a single particle suspended in a low-Reynolds-number fluid under spherical confinement was studied numerically. We calculated hydrodynamic mobilities of a sphere, a prolate spheroid, and an oblate spheroid parallel and transverse to particle-cavity line of centres. The mobilities show maximum in the cavity centre and decay as the particle moves towards the no-slip wall. For prolate and oblate spheroids, their mobilities are also affected by the angle between particle's axis of revolution and the particle-cavity line of centres due to particle anisotropy. It was observed that the effect of particle anisotropy becomes stronger… More >

    Recent Progresses of Shallow Water Hydro-sediment-morphodynamic Modelling: Improvement of Computational Efficiencies and Typical Applications

    Peng Hu1,*
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09880
    Abstract Shallow water hydro-sediment-morphodynamic modelling plays significant role in several aspects (e.g., river and estuarine engineering). In response to climate change and intense human activities, there have been dramatic changes in river water and sediment flux conditions, and thus sediment transport intensity and bed morphological evolution differs from traditional characteristics. These necessitates fully coupled shallow water hydro-sediment-morphodynamic modelling, which however may damage the computational efficiency. Here we report some progresses in developing a computationally efficient version of fully coupled shallow water hydro-sediment-morphodynamic model and its preliminary applications in bottle-neck navigational waterways of the Yangtze river.

    An In Vitro Study of Correlation Between the Compositions, Structure and Mechanical Properties of the Arterial Plaque

    Mohamed Abdulsalam1, Jiling Feng1,*
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09884
    Abstract Atherosclerosis developed in the arterial wall is the major cause of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart failure. Atherosclerosis, also referred to as arterial plaque can be classified as stable, unstable, and vulnerable plaque. In terms of the features of compositions and structures, atherosclerosis also can be classified as calcified plaque, the plaque with a lipid core, and plaque with a thin fibrous cap. It is expected that the compositions, structures, and mechanical properties of the plaques interrelate with each other. The correlations between the compositions, structure, and mechanical properties are expected to characterize… More >

    Topological Design of Negative Poisson’s Ratio Material Microstructure Under Large Deformation with a Gradient-Free Method

    Pai Liu1,*, Weida Wu1, Yangjun Luo1, Yifan Zhang1
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09893
    Abstract Lightweight metamaterials with negative Poisson’s ratios (NPRs) have great potential for controlling deformation, absorbing energy, etc. The topology optimization [1] technique is an effective way to design metamaterials. However, as studied in [2], the NPR metamaterial configuration obtained under small deformation assumption may not maintain the desired Poisson’s ratio under relatively large deformation conditions. This paper focuses on the large-deformation NPR metamaterial design based on a gradient-free topology optimization method, i.e. the material-field series expansion (MFSE) method [3]. The metamaterial’s performance is evaluated using the finite element method, taking into account the geometry nonlinearity. By… More >

    Self-swimming of a Droplet Induced by Combined Diffusiophoresis and Marangoni Effects

    Yuhang Wang1,2, Gaojin Li1,2,*
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09895
    Abstract The chemically active droplets, which converts the chemical energy into a localized fluid flow at the interfaces by generating a concentration gradients of surfactant, can realize self-propulsion with complex trajectories and have been widely studied to mimic the swimming behavior of micro-organisms. In reality, the motion of chemically active droplets is influenced by a combination of diffusiophoresis and Marangoni effect under concentration gradients of surfactant. However, the interaction between these two effects has been only studied for a drop under the constraint of the axial-symmetric motion. To understand the hydrodynamics of the unconstraint motion, we… More >

    Ultrafast Adsorption of Tiny Oil Droplets Within Water by Superhydrophobic-Superoleophilic Conical Micro-arrays

    Yunyun Song1, Xu Zhang1, Jialei Yang1, Zhongqiang Zhang1,*, Guanggui Cheng1
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09916
    Abstract Although floating oil with large particle sizes can easily be separated from water by membrane separation methods, tiny oil droplets with tremendously small volume force and density gradient at oil-water interfaces within water lead to barriers of oil-water separation. Consequently, tiny oil droplets remain in the water, resulting in energy waste, environmental pollution and biological health hazard. Traditional super-wetting membranes with extremely small pore sizes were easily blocked during the oil-water separation process. Inspired by the cactus and rice leaf, we developed a superhydrophobic-superoleophilic surface with conical micro-arrays to realize ultrafast adsorption of tiny oil… More >

    A Crystal Plasticity Based Constitutive Model for the Temperature Dependent Anomalous Behaviors of Nickel-Based Single-Crystal Superalloy

    Xueling Fan1,*, Pin Lu1, Xiaochao Jin1
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09919
    Abstract Ni-based single crystal superalloys have been favored in the high-temperature service zones of aeroengine and gas turbine due to its excellent mechanical properties at high temperature. It is very significant to construct a constitutive model that can accurately capture the mechanical response of Ni-based single crystals for simulation analysis. In this work, a forest dislocation density-based single crystal plasticity constitutive model was developed to capture the mechanical behavior of Ni-based single crystals, including the temperature dependent anomalous yield and tension/compression asymmetry. Firstly, thermally activated cross-slip mechanism was introduced into the hardening model to describe the… More >

    Characterization of Mechanical Properties of CNFs and the Assembled Microfibers Through a Multi-scale Optimization-Based Inversion Method

    Shuaijun Wang1, Wenqiong Tu1,*
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09926
    Abstract Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and the continuously assembled microfibers have shown transversely isotropic behavior in many studies. Due to fact that the size of CNFs and the assembled microfibers is at the nano and micro scale, respectively, the characterization of their mechanical properties is extremely challenge. That greatly hinders the accurate multi-scale modeling and design of CNFs-based materials. In our study, we have characterized the elastic constants of both CNFs microfibers and CNFs through a Multi-scale Optimization Inversion technology. Through the tensile test of CNFs microfibers reinforced resin with different volume fractions and the micromechanics model More >

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09927
    Abstract Advanced air-cooling turbine blades are capable of operating above the melting temperature of Nickel-based superalloy, which accordingly withstand complex thermomechanical fatigue loads during service life. This paper considers the problem of realizing gas turbine representative thermal gradients in the elevated temperature fatigue test, while ensuring the thermal gradient induced stress inside the specimens. For this purpose, a novel temperature control device utilizing impingement cooling, which supplies cooling air inside the gauge section and releases toward the inner wall, was constructed in tubular fatigue specimens. A single induction coil was arranged outside the gauge section, providing… More >

    The Comparisons Between Peridynamic Differential Operators and Nonlocal Differential Operators

    Xingyu Kan1,*, Yiwei Wang1, Jiale Yan2, Renfang Huang1
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09937
    Abstract Nonlocal differential operators have become an increasingly important tool in the field of numerical modeling and computational science. In recent years, two specific types of nonlocal differential operators have emerged as particularly useful in simulations of material and structural failures, such as fracture and crack propagations in solids. In this paper, the first type of nonlocal operator is based on the nonlocal operator theory in peridynamic theory, which is called PDOs [1,2]. The second type of nonlocal operator is derived from the Taylor series expansion of nonlocal interpolation, which is called NDOs [3-5]. NDOs are… More >

    Hierarchical Multiscale Modeling of Thaw-Induced Landslides in Permafrost

    Shiwei Zhao1,*, Hao Chen2, Jidong Zhao1
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09965
    Abstract With global warming, thaw-induced landslides occur more frequently in permafrost, which not only threaten the safety of infrastructures as general geohazards but also worsen global warming due to carbon release. This work presents a novel computational framework to model thaw-induced landslides from a multiscale perspective. The proposed approach can capture the thermal-mechanical (TM) response of frozen soils at the particulate scale by using discrete element method (DEM). The micromechanics-based TM model is superior to capturing the sudden crash of soil skeletons caused by thaw-induced cementation loss between soil grains. The DEM-simulated TM response is then More >

    Abstract Magnesium is a lightweight structural metal but the industrial application is limited by its poor intrinsic ductility. Pyramidal dislocations are believed to be responsible for the ductility enhancement whereas the dislocation plasticity of magnesium was not well studied, especially the pyramidal dislocations. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the pyramidal disloation behaviors including the decomposition of pyramidal dislocations on both pyramidal-I and pyramidal-II planes and the interactions between themselves and other dislocations in Mg. The pyramidal-I dislocations are decomposed into and dislocations under shear stress at 0-400K, which all resideMore >

    Mechanism of Strain Hardening Of Magnesium Single-Crystals: Discrete Dislocation Dynamics Simulations

    Mao Li1, Xiaobao Tian1, Wentao Jiang1, Qingyuan Wang1, Haidong Fan1,*
    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09981
    Abstract Poor ductility heavily limits the industrial application of magnesium (Mg) alloys, and pyramidal dislocations are an important deformation mode for ductility enhancement. In this work, discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations were performed to study the mechanical behavior and dislocation evolution of Mg singlecrystals compressed along c-axis. Especially, basal-transition and cross-slip algorithms of pyramidal dislocations were proposed and introduced in the DDD method. Simulation results show that basaltransition is an important mechanism for the strong strain hardening observed during c-axis compression of Mg single-crystals. Since the basal-transition events are thermally activated, increasing temperature leads to a More >

    Abstract Zirconium alloys were widely used as fuel cladding in nuclear reactors. Stacking fault pyramid (SFP) is an irradiation-induced defect in zirconium. In this work, the formation process of SFP from a hexagonal vacancy plate on basal plane is studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results show that, during the SFP formation from a basal vacancy plate, the dislocation is firstly dissociated into two partial dislocations and . The former one resides on the basal plane, while the latter one glides on the first-order pyramidal plane. The … More >

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09986
    Abstract Precipitates play an important role in the evolution of irradiation-induced defects and mechanical property of irradiated metals. In this work, the effects of a Zr2Cu precipitate on the production and subsequent evolution of cascade-induced point defects (vacancies and interstitials) in ZrCu alloy were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations at room temperature. The simulation results show that the precipitate increases the number of residual point defects at the end of cascade. However, most of the residual defects reside in the precipitate and near precipitate boundary. In the matrix, more interstitials survive than vacancies. In addition, a… More >

The water within concreter pores or cracks has a great influence on crack propagation behavior [2,3]. Several wedge-splitting experiments of compact specimens are conducted with a designed sealing device to study the water effects on concrete crack propagation. Different water pressures and different loading rates are considered loading on the pre-crack surfaces and waterproof strain gauges are stuck along the crack path to observe the fracture process during the experiments.

Nature inspired dual-phase metamaterial composites was developed and examined, by employing architectured lattice materials with different mechanical properties respectively as the constituent matrix and reinforcement phases. Then, the reinforcement phase was incorporated into the matrix phase with specific patterning. The composite metamaterials were simply fabricated using additive manufacturing. From quasistatic compression tests, the strength and toughness could be simultaneously enhanced after the addition of reinforcement phase grains. Through simulation modeling, effects of dual-phase distribution, elementary architecture, parent material and defects on mechanical properties of More >
