Abstract Using liquid hydrogen as fuel is helpful to the aviation industry to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. However, the liquid hydrogen storage tank will inevitably slosh during the use inhydrogen-powered aircraft, thus it is necessary to study the thermodynamic characteristics of liquid hydrogen storage tank during the sloshing process. In this paper, the thermodynamic behavior of liquid hydrogen storage tank under external excitation is studied by using Volume of Fluid(VOF) model and Lee model through numerical simulation methods. The changes of pressure and temperature in the process of tank sloshing under… More >

Abstract Metal Hydride (MH) is a promising hydrogen storage technique owing to its safety, availability, and high volumetric storage density. MH hydrogen storage reactor is the core component of MH hydrogen storage technology. However, the thermal effect of MH hydrogen storage reactor in the process of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation is significant, which requires an efficient heat management system for the reactor. Phase change materials (PCM) can be applied to MH hydrogen storage reactor, and have the advantages of simple structure. In this paper, representative PCM thermal management methods were summarized, and the distribution structure of the existing multi-layer… More >

Abstract Controlling dynamics of impacting droplets on meshes is significantly important, which attracted a lot of attention because of its great potential applications in liquid separation, self-cleaning, and water harvesting [1-3], yet the underlying physical mechanisms are not entirely revealed. Here, the impact dynamics of a nanodroplet on mesh surfaces with different wettability are studied through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Due to scale effects between the nano and macroscale, the impacting nanodroplets exhibit some unique dynamic characteristics [4-7]. On a superhydrophobic mesh surface, when varying the impact conditions of nanodroplets, different outcomes can occur: (i) at… More >

Abstract Research on the mechanism of fluid flows (particularly nonlinear) on solid structures is of great scientific and engineering significance, as well as to implement effective control by using intelligent solid structures (i.e., agents). These dynamical systems involve complex interactions of fluid dynamics and solid mechanics and, thus are typically defined as fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. For effective analysis of FSI systems and implementing active control, numerical modeling that couples fluid and solid solvers proves to be an effective approach. However, the efficiency and accuracy of conventional numerical methods for solving such problems are limited due… More >

Abstract With the improvement of aircraft design requirements, the development of airborne equipment towards lightweight, miniaturization and weight reduction has brought great challenges to the structural design of airborne equipment. Usually, airborne equipment needs to be connected to the fuselage through supporting brackets. In the process of airplane flight, due to the influence of vibration and other complex load conditions, the mounting bracket of airborne equipment is prone to damage caused by the unreasonable structural design of airborne equipment. Some sensitive airborne electronic equipment has special requirements for the dynamic characteristics of the bracket. Therefore, the… More >

Abstract Traditional interface reconstruction methods often rely on numerical approaches, which can be inefficient when dealing with large bubbles, requiring extensive computational resources. To address this issue, we propose a novel model based on convolutional neural networks aimed at rapidly and accurately predicting the equations governing circular bubbles. This model takes the volume fraction of the main-phase fluid surrounding each computational grid cell as input variables and is capable of precisely forecasting the coordinates and radii of bubbles. To further enhance model performance, we employ the Optuna hyperparameter optimizer to fine-tune the model's parameters. Upon training More >

Abstract Bio-inspired thin-walled structures have attracted widespread attention in the engineering field due to their excellent energy absorption capacity. In this work, it was observed that the stem of the bird-of-paradise plant consisted of longitudinal thin walls and transverse diaphragms. The diaphragms inside of the stems are parallel to each other within a column and exhibit staggered arrangements in the adjacent columns. Inspired by the stem of the bird-of-paradise plant, the staggered diaphragm design was introduced to improve the compressive properties of structures. Considering the staggered arrangement method and the Centro symmetry method, three types of… More >

Abstract The "curse of dimensionality" faced by high-dimensional complex engineering problems can be tackled by a set of quantitative model evaluation and analysis tools named high-dimensional model representation (HDMR) [1,2], which has attracted much attention from researchers in various fields, such as global sensitivity analysis (GSA) [3], structural reliability analysis (SRA) [4], CFD uncertainty quantification [5] and so on [6]. In this paper, a new method for uncertainty quantification is proposed. Firstly, PCE-HDMR for SRA is developed by taking advantage of the accuracy and efficiency of PCE-HDMR for modeling high-dimensional problems [7]. Secondly, the formulas for… More >

Abstract In the low and medium pressure urban gas pipe network, transporting the hydrogen-blended natural gas through polyethylene pipe is an important means to realize the large-scale delivery and utilization of hydrogen-blended natural gas. However, due to the characteristics of polymer material, polyethylene pipes will experience aging phenomenon, which will lead to the deterioration of performance and eventually result in brittle damage and failure. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze and predict the lifetime of polyethylene pipe due to the aging in the hydrogen-blended natural gas environment to ensure the safe transportation.

Abstract Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite sandwich structures, due to their excellent mechanical properties and lightweight characteristics, are widely used in aerospace, marine, automotive, and wind turbine blade structures [1]. Different from traditional sandwich structures, composite honeycomb sandwich structures exhibit brittle properties, potentially leading to sudden and catastrophic debonding failure without any warning. Consequently, the interfaces between the face-core and the inner core may become the weakest parts of the structural system.
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental investigation into the debonding behavior of the face-core and inner core in composite honeycomb sandwich structures. Based on… More >

Abstract Marine environments pose severe corrosion challenges to underwater equipment, thereby leading to significant risks and demanding immediate in-situ restoration. Here we developed an underwater laser directed energy deposition (UDMD) technique to repair the E690 steel and enhance its corrosion resistance. Systematic investigations about the underwater pressure (P) and 316L stainless steel (SS316L) coatings on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the repaired E690 steel were conducted. Results show that water cooling can refine grain, promote the formation of lath martensite, and increase dislocation density. No obvious relationship between the pressure and microstructure evolution… More >

Abstract Ni60A hardfacing alloy, as one of the highest-alloy grades and hardest alloy of Ni-Cr-B-Si alloys, is expected to be used as hardfacing alloy for thrust discs in nuclear main pumps to reduce friction, corrosion and erosion. Since mechanical properties of Ni-Cr-B-Si alloys are very sensitive to their defects and microstructures, heat treatment/remelting methods have been used to eliminate porosity and to modify microstructural heterogeneity. In our previous research, Ni60A hardfacing layer with high micro-hardness and excellent bonding strength has been fabricated onto 0Cr18Ni10Ti austenitic stainless steel using hot isostatic press diffusion bonding technique.

Abstract Nuclear energy demands radiation-resistant metal materials. Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) show superior radiation resistance over traditional alloys due to lattice distortion, promising for advanced reactors. However, damage evolution and mechanical performance of irradiated MPEAs under loading are unclear, limiting long-term application. We investigated hardening behavior induced by irradiation defects like dislocation loops and voids in MPEAs using crystal plasticity models and experiments. Here, we developed i) a stochastic field theory-based discrete dislocation dynamics simulation. A novel cross-slip mechanism in irradiated crystals was unveiled through co-linear reactions between dislocations and diamond perfect loops [1]; ii) With… More >

Abstract Modern advanced equipment is often in high-temperature and high-load service environment for a long time, in which multiaxial creep rupture is one of the important failure modes of key components. For example, typical structures under multiaxial stresses state, such as aero-engine turbine blades film cooling holes and turbine disk groove connection structures, are usually prioritized for creep rupture failure in high-temperature, high-pressure and high-speed loading environments. At present, the coupling mechanism between temperature and stress fields in complex environments, as well as the rupture mechanisms and life characteristics of structures with multiaxial stresses in service… More >

Abstract Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) was introduced by Thomas Hughes et al. with the aim of integrating CAD and FEA. IGA methods can be categorized into two groups: Conforming IGA, such as T-spline based IGA, and non-conforming IGA, such as immersed or embedded IGA. Embedded or immersed IGA methods do not require the construction of analysis-aware geometry, unlike conforming IGA methods such as T-spline based IGA. However, the Galerkin method does not directly apply to these methods, making it challenging for immersed IGA methods to impose strong Dirichlet boundary conditions directly. Nitsche's method is a popular approach… More >

Abstract Due to excellent electrical conductivity, stretchability, and biocompatibility, electrically conductive hydrogels have been widely used in flexible wearable strain sensors. Generally, conductive fillers need to be integrated with the hydrogel matrix to impart electrical conductivity. According to the method of composite formation between electronic conductive fillers and hydrogel matrix, conductive hydrogels can be classified into embedded conductive and coated conductive hydrogels. Additionally, due to the intrinsic chemical and physical crosslinking networks, traditional hydrogels are not degradable, resulting in severe environmental pollution problems. Herein, we designed electrically conductive and degradable hydrogels for the epidermal strain sensor… More >

Abstract Government authorities, academies, research institutes and industries are presently hindered by a lack of functional, healthy and standardized human platforms of cells, tissues, and organs, predominantly using costly live animal models and cells of low human relevance. Existing models of live animals or immortalized cell lines of either animal or human origin, often poorly reflect human physiology. Primary human cell cultures are difficult to procure in sufficient quantity and can be prone to much inter-batch variability, depending on the cell source. By contrast, self-renewable, genetically healthy and single-sourced human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) exhibit enhanced… More >
