Abstract Ni-based superalloys are the main material for the high pressure turbine blades of modern gas turbine engines [1]. High temperature corrosion of the blade, also called hot corrosion, is inevitable due to the working environment which directly affects the performance and life of the engine [2]. The working environment is harsher if the turbine engine is used in the sea environment. The salt fog of high humidity in the sea results in the chloride of NaCl and KCl. Coupled hot corrosion and high temperature oxidation increase the decay of the blade performances. Therefore, it is… More >

Abstract Understanding the competitive adsorption behavior of CO₂ and CH₄ in shale nanopores is crucial for enhancing the recovery of shale gas and sequestration of CO₂, which is determined by both the inherent characteristics of the molecules and external environmental factors such as pore size, temperature, and partial pressures of CO₂ and CH₄. While the competitive adsorption behavior of CO₂/CH₄ has been analyzed by previous studies, a comprehensive understanding from the perspective of molecular kinetic theory and the efficient calculation for competitive adsorption behavior considering various geological situations is still challenging, limited by the huge computation cost of classical… More >

Abstract Multi-axis additive manufacturing (AM) is an advanced manufacturing method with advantages over traditional 3-axis additive manufacturing. A formidable challenge in AM is widely acknowledged in utilizing support materials, a process characterized by temporal and material resource consumption. Extensive research endeavors have been dedicated to mitigating or eliminating reliance on support materials, particularly emphasizing pioneering self-supporting design strategies. Empirical investigations reveal that when the overhang angle of a structure surpasses a predefined threshold (typically 45°), support structures may become dispensable for assisted printing. In traditional 3-axis AM systems, achieving support-free printing for structures exhibiting overhang angles… More >

Abstract Considering experimental testing data is costly, and sensor data is often sparse, while simulation analysis provides overall strength information with lower accuracy, a digital twin framework is proposed for full-field structural strength assessment and prediction. The framework is mainly divided into two stages. In the offline stage, the simulation model of the structure is established, and the sensor layouts are completed. Then, the DNN pre-training model is constructed based on the reduced simulation data. In the online stage, the experimentally measured data are predicted to obtain the time-series sensors data, and the traditional transfer learning… More >

Abstract The phase field method for fracture has become mainstream for fracture simulation. It transforms the crack nucleation problem into a minimization problem of the sum of the elastic potential energy and the crack surface energy. Because of the biconvexity of its energy functional, there is an energy barrier between local minima with and without a crack, resulting it difficult for standard methods, such as the Newton method, to converge to a cracked solution when starting from a solid without crack, especially when the material and the geometry are uniform, even if current cracked solution with… More >

Abstract Fused deposition modeling (FDM) with foaming materials offers the capability to generate internal porous structures through in-situ foaming, imparting favorable characteristics such as weight reduction, shock absorption, thermal insulation, and sound insulation to printed objects. However, the process planning for this technology presents challenges due to the difficulty in accurately controlling the foaming rate, stemming from a complex underlying mechanism that remains poorly understood. This study introduces a multi-sensor platform for FDM with foaming materials, facilitating in-situ process monitoring of temperature field information during material modeling and quality evaluation of printed objects, i.e., abnormal foaming… More >

Abstract The emerging technique of artificial micro/nano-motors [1] provides a vivid example of the idea using tiny machines to finish jobs in microscopic world. Among many micro/nano-motors, microbubble driven micromotor is a unique type that can reach the highest propulsion speed [2, 3], owing to the high surface energy of the bubble and the focused hydrodynamic jet during bubble collapse that can significantly enhance micromotor’s propulsion. Recent progress has demonstrated that the microbubble itself can implement new functions for the micromotor based on bubble dynamics and induced hydrodynamic flow, rather than merely providing energy. For instance,… More >

Abstract As metal additive manufacturing (MAM) becomes more widely used in engineering, an increasing number of novel lattice structures are being developed. However, most recently developed lattice structures do not match the requirement of MAM efficiently. Based on the Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), comparing the mainstream implicit and explicit modelling methods, it is proposed to introduce a Subdivisional (Sub-D) modelling method to model lattice structures with better modelling versatility, 3D printability, and mechanical properties. To this end, a novel negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) structure is developed as an example to demonstrate the efficient and wide… More >

Abstract Internal solitary waves (ISWs) a serious threat to moored floating structures in deep water, especially in South China Sea. On predicating dynamic response of a moored structure subjected to ISWs, previous researchers directly apply the pre-calculated ISW loading to the structure, which ignores the coupling effects between the structure and the ISW. To address this issue, this paper develops a coupled dynamic analysis model for moored structures, where the determination of ISW loading considers the effects of dynamic responses of floating structures. This model can simulate the action of various loading components on the floating… More >

Abstract Ti-6.5Al-2.5Zr-1Mo-1V alloy is a near α titanium alloy, which has been widely used in aerospace fields due to its low density, high specific strength, good corrosion resistance and high-temperature durability. To further improve the strength and high-temperature durability of Ti-6.5Al-2.5Zr-1Mo-1V complex components, the spherical Ti-6.5Al-2.5Zr-1Mo-1V alloy powder with a particle size of 15~53 μm and TiB2 powder with a particle size of 0.5~1 μm were used to fabricate in-situ TiBw reinforced Ti-6.5Al-2.5Zr-1Mo-1V composites through low energy ball milling and selective laser melting (SLM).

Abstract This study investigates the interactions between droplets and bubbles within water-in-oil (O/W) and oil-in-water (W/O) systems, a fundamental problem of bubble dynamics in binary immiscible fluid systems. Considering the density ratio between the two fluids and the bubble-to-droplet size ratio, we have refined the classical spherical bubble pulsation equation, Rayleigh collapse time, and the natural frequency. In our experimental study, we found that the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability hardly develops on the surface of the droplet when the densities of the two liquids are comparable. This phenomenon is explained using the classic theory of spherical RT More >

Abstract The collapses of bubbles near rigid walls are seen widely in engineering and medical applications, examples are surface cleaning, sonoporation, under water explosion, and cavitation erosions, to name a few. Recent experimental studies demonstrated that only bubbles with extremely small stand-off distance γ (γ = d/Rmax, γ is stand-off distance, d is the initial distance of the bubble center to the boundary, and Rmax is the maximum radius the bubble would attain) generate severe erosions during the first oscillating circle. This erosion phenomenon, attributed to a self-focusing mechanism, lacks a comprehensive explanation. Here we provided… More >

Abstract The interaction between the particle and the bubble under the ultrasonic wave excitation plays a pivotal role in various applications such as targeted therapy, ultrasonic cleaning, ultrasonography, and microbubble motors. When the particle is in close proximity or even attached to the bubble, a strong fluid-structure interaction occurs, significantly influencing the particle propulsion. The attachment of the bubble to the particle results in distinct bubble pulsation patterns and particle acceleration mechanisms from the non-contact state. Thus, we propose a fluid-structure interaction model based on the boundary integral method (BIM) to comprehensively consider the distance between More >

Abstract Defects are pivotal in influencing the mechanical performance of the hydroxyapatite (HAp) porous structure. In vat photopolymerization (VP) fabrication, directly peeling HAp/polymer green structure from the platform is an efficient approach but often introduces defects, compromising the mechanical performance of sintered HAp scaffolds. The peeling process is a physical phenomenon where the photocured HAp/polymer green structure exhibits resistance against applied peeling forces, which is influenced by its modulus and toughness. In this study, the peeling behavior of cubic-pore HAp (CP-HAp) green structures with varying levels of modulus and toughness was investigated in detail. The characterization… More >

While aerodynamic and aerothermal empirical solutions exhibit high computational efficiency, they lack precision. Numerical approaches equipped with accuracy but come with high computational costs. To address the contradiction between precision and efficiency, some research on hypersonic unsteady aerodynamic and aerothermal Reduced Order Models (ROMs) was conducted in this study, using Kriging surrogate method.
Meanwhile, hypersonic aircraft typically feature numerous thin-wall structures. The strong coupling of aerodynamic, aerothermal, and elasticity will inevitably lead to aerothermoelastic effects. This study centered on the Thermal Protection System (TPS) panel… More >
