Abstract This work introduces an efficient improved discrete velocity method (IDVM) with inner iteration for simulating steady flows across all flow regimes. Building upon our prior implicit IDVM, this extension achieves a significantly enhanced convergence rate. In the previous method, simultaneous solution of the discrete velocity Boltzmann equation (DVBE) and corresponding macroscopic governing equations was performed. However, the computational cost was primarily driven by the DVBE calculations due to the substantial difference in the number of discrete distribution functions compared to macroscopic conservative variables. Additionally, the convergence rate was influenced by the predicted equilibrium state derived… More >

Abstract The advancement of continuous fiber-reinforced polymer additive manufacturing (CFRP-AM) enables the fabrication of structures with complex geometries and superior properties. However, current design methodologies consider toolpath design and structure optimization as separate stages, with toolpath design typically serving as a post-processing step after structure optimization. This sequential methodology limits the full exploitation of fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) capabilities, particularly in achieving optimal structural integrity and manufacturability. In this paper, a manufacturing-oriented method is proposed for designing continuous FRPC structures, in which the structural layout and continuous fiber toolpaths are simultaneously optimized. The integrated design… More >

Abstract Additively-manufactured microlattice materials have attracted much attention due to their outstanding mechanical properties and energy absorption capacity. Considering the high cost of 3D printing, numerical simulation has become the most common approach for predicting and optimizing the mechanical performance of micro-lattice materials. The current study provides an efficient method to incorporate the printing process induced geometric defects in the lattice models. Numerical simulations are performed to precisely predict the mechanical response of the printed microlattice materials under quasi-static and dynamic loadings. Furthermore, the microlattice structures are graphically represented based on their mesoscopic structural characteristics. Accordingly, More >

Abstract In laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), the unmelted powder recovered from the powder bed is degraded due to particle-laser interaction during continuous processing. The sensitivity of LPBF performance and molding quality to powder properties, waste powder is usually discarded after several molding cycles, which increases the cost of raw materials. At the same time, the low laser absorption rate and high thermal conductivity of copper and copper alloys inhibit the complete melting of copper powder prepared by LPBF. Therefore, it is challenging to fabricate copper alloy components with full high density and high conductivity through… More >

Abstract Capillarity is prevalent in nature, daily life, and industrial processes, governed by the fundamental Young-Laplace equation. Solving this equation not only enhances our understanding of natural phenomena but also provides valuable insights into industrial advancements. To address challenges posed by conventional numerical methods in parameter identification and complex boundary condition handling, the Young-Laplace Physics-informed Neural Network (Y-L PINN) is introduced to solve the Young-Laplace equation within a tubular domain. Through computational analyses focusing on the classical capillary rise case, the proposed method's accuracy is affirmed through comparisons with Jurin's law, experimental data, and numerical results.… More >

Abstract Due to its flexibility and foldable ability, the inflatable wing is widely employed to loitering munitions and aerostats [1-3]. Meanwhile, as a typical flexible thin-walled structure, the wrinkling and buckling behaviors of the inflatable wing induced in flight will limit its load-bearing capacity [4,5]. Therefore, a wrinkling-resistant structural configuration is the key to improving performance of the inflatable wing. Among various schemes, the swept baffled structure is considered to have the potential to retard wrinkling because of the designable axis of twist [6,7]. However, owing to the flexible large deformation of inflatable wing under aerodynamic… More >

Abstract High resolution flow field results are of great significance for exploring physical laws and guiding practical engineering practice. However, traditional activities based on experiments or direct numerical solutions to obtain high-resolution flow fields typically require a significant amount of computational time or resources. In response to this challenge, this study proposes an efficient and robust high-resolution flow field reconstruction method by embedding graph theory into neural networks, to adapt to low data volume situations.

Abstract Micro- and nano-scale collisions are widely involved in molecular movement, drug delivery, the actuation of micro-nano devices, etc. They often exhibit extraordinary behaviour relative to the common macroscopic collisions. A deep understanding on the scale reduction-induced novel collision phenomenon and the related mechanism is rather crucial. In this work, the comprehensive impact behaviour of metal projectiles on graphene is investigated on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that besides the common penetration and rebound behaviours, the impacting metal projectile can also be captured by the ultrasoft two-dimensional materials, i.e., the adhesion behaviour.… More >

Abstract The surface brittle fracture of cermet coating seriously restricts its application. Accurate evaluation of the fracture toughness of cermet coating is a prerequisite for improving its life. This paper aims to propose an accurate characterization method for fracture toughness of cermet coating. By coupling instrumented indentation and X‑ ray computed tomography, the indentation-induced fracture behaviors under various loads within WC-12%Co coatings were studied. The indentation response was correlated with the damage evolution directly observed within the coating. The impact of substrate effects on indentation-induced fracture behaviors was further studied using finite element analysis (FEA). The… More >

The embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) is the typical one that using the conforming grid and modelled based on the finite volume method (FVM) framework. The EDFM maintains advantages of mass conservation and low computational complexity, but it cannot characterize blocking fractures and has a low accuracy on the mass exchange between fractures and matrix [1].

Abstract The crack tip of the asymmetric four-point bend end-notched flexure (4AENF) delamination testing under shear loading often exhibits a proportion of mode I component, making it a typical mixed-mode I/II problem. Characterizing the total fracture toughness in 4AENF laminates is crucial for understanding the delamination phenomenon in composites. In this study, 4AENF tests were conducted on carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy asymmetric laminates to evaluate the total interlaminar fracture toughness under shear loading conditions. Additionally, the variation of interlaminar fracture toughness in asymmetric laminates with different fiber orientation angles was considered. Theoretical modelling was performed using an More >

Hydraulic fracturing (HF) technology serves as a crucial means aimed at enhancing the complexity of underground fracture networks and increasing heat exchange efficiency, thus improving the performance of HDR geothermal utilization systems. However, the fracture structure formed by conventional HF techniques is relatively simple, resulting in limited heat exchange areas. Hence, the temporary… More >

Abstract Protective coatings play a crucial role in preserving high-temperature engineering components from environmental degradation [1-3]. The durability of these coatings is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the components. Introducing a segmented microstructure was recognized as an effective strategy for enhancing the strain tolerance of coatings by mitigating the in-plane stiffness of the coatings, thereby alleviating interface stresses and delamination driving forces. While previous studies on delamination mechanisms in high-temperature protective coatings have predominantly focused on either pure mechanical loading or pure thermal loading conditions (i.e., residual stress) due to their ease of implementation,… More >
