    A Review on Finite Element Alternating Methods for Analyzing 2D and 3D Cracks

    Jai Hak Park*

    Digital Engineering and Digital Twin, Vol.2, pp. 79-101, 2024, DOI:10.32604/dedt.2024.047280

    Abstract A finite element alternating method has been known as a very convenient and accurate method to solve two and three-dimensional crack problems. In this method, a general crack problem is solved by a superposition of two solutions. One is a finite element solution for a finite body without a crack, and the other is an analytical solution for a crack in an infinite body. Since a crack is not considered in a finite element model, generating a model is very simple. The method is especially very convenient for a fatigue crack growth simulation. Over the past 40 years, S. N.… More >

    The Boundary Element Method for Ordinary State-Based Peridynamics

    Xue Liang1,2, Linjuan Wang3,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2807-2834, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.046770

    Abstract The peridynamics (PD), as a promising nonlocal continuum mechanics theory, shines in solving discontinuous problems. Up to now, various numerical methods, such as the peridynamic mesh-free particle method (PD-MPM), peridynamic finite element method (PD-FEM), and peridynamic boundary element method (PD-BEM), have been proposed. PD-BEM, in particular, outperforms other methods by eliminating spurious boundary softening, efficiently handling infinite problems, and ensuring high computational accuracy. However, the existing PD-BEM is constructed exclusively for bond-based peridynamics (BBPD) with fixed Poisson’s ratio, limiting its applicability to crack propagation problems and scenarios involving infinite or semi-infinite problems. In this paper, we address these limitations by… More >

    Particle Discontinuous Deformation Analysis of Static and Dynamic Crack Propagation in Brittle Material

    Zediao Chen, Feng Liu*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.2, pp. 2215-2236, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.046618

    Abstract Crack propagation in brittle material is not only crucial for structural safety evaluation, but also has a wide-ranging impact on material design, damage assessment, resource extraction, and scientific research. A thorough investigation into the behavior of crack propagation contributes to a better understanding and control of the properties of brittle materials, thereby enhancing the reliability and safety of both materials and structures. As an implicit discrete element method, the Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) has gained significant attention for its developments and applications in recent years. Among these developments, the particle DDA equipped with the bonded particle model is a powerful… More >

    Yujia Liu1,2, Bo Xu1, Sen Tang3, Lang Li1, Chao He1, Qingyuan Wang1,2,3, Chong Wang1,2,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.4, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010057

    Abstract This paper presents a thermodynamic characterization method for estimating the internal crack growth rate, which has been a puzzle in very high cycle fatigue research. A theoretical approach of surface temperature is established with crack size, initiation site, and time for thin sheet material. Infrared thermography is used to study the inner crack behavior and the heat dissipation phenomenon under 20 kHz vibration loading on high-strength stainless steel. A numerical simulation reveals the consequent temperature elevation on the surfaces by the heat generation at the crack tip and the heat conduction. Ultimately, the internal crack growth rate and final fatigue… More >

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.4, pp. 1-3, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09930

    Abstract Damage evaluation is an important index for the evaluation of buildings health. To provide a rapid crack evaluation in practical applications, a crack identification and damage evaluation via deep learning framework is proposed in this paper. We built a combined dataset from Kaggle and site photos. A pre-trained U-net model is used to perform the training of model. With updated weights, the identification of cracks could be performed on non-labelled photos. More >

    Fragile Points Method for Modeling Complex Structural Failure

    Mingjing Li1,*, Leiting Dong1, Satya N. Atluri2

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.4, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09689

    Abstract The Fragile Points Method (FPM) is a discontinuous meshless method based on the Galerkin weak form [1]. In the FPM, the problem domain is discretized by spatial points and subdomains, and the displacement trial function of each subdomain is derived based on the points within the support domain. For this reason, the FPM doesn’t suffer from the mesh distortion and is suitable to model complex structural deformations. Furthermore, similar to the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method, the displacement trial functions used in the FPM is piece-wise continuous, and the numerical flux is introduced across each interior interface to guarantee the… More >

    Experimental and Numerical Simulation Study on Axial Drop Hammer Impact of Rubber Modified Non-Autoclaved Concrete Pipe Pile

    Sheng Lan1, Fei Yang1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.4, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09077

    Abstract Non-autoclaved concrete pipe piles are gaining attention as an environmentally friendly alternative to autoclaved concrete pipe piles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the impact resistance of a non-autoclaved concrete pipe pile with the addition of rubber. To this end, various volume fractions of rubber particles were used to replace the fine sand in the non-autoclaved pipe pile concrete (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%). Additionally, the axial impact resistance of rubber modified non-autoclaved concrete pipe pile was studied from the concrete materials and pipe pile components through quasi-static, dynamic compression and splitting tensile tests and… More >

    A Modified Rate-Dependent Peridynamic Model with Rotation Effect for Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Ceramic Materials

    Yaxun Liu1,2, Lisheng Liu1,2,*, Hai Mei1,2, Qiwen Liu1,2, Xin Lai1,2

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.4, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09007

    Abstract As a mathematical expression of the dynamic mechanical behavior, the constitutive model plays an indispensable role in numerical simulations of ceramic materials. The current bond-based peridynamic constitutive models can accurately describe the dynamic mechanical behavior of partial ceramic materials under impact loading, however, the predicted value of the Poisson’s ratio is 0.25, which is not true for most of the known ceramic materials. Herein, based on the existing bond-based peridynamic constitutive model, the current study utilizes the description of tangential bond force and considers the influence of bond force on rotation to accurately predict the Poisson's ratio of different types… More >

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09220

    Abstract The thermomechanical response and potential cracking in nuclear fuel rods are extremely important for nuclear safety analysis. The Pellet-Clad Mechanical Interaction (PCMI) is a significant factor for the thermomechanical behaviors of pellet and clad. This study presents a PCMI model based on ordinary statebased peridynamic (OSB-PD) theory, which considering the heat transfer through the gap and contact heat transfer between pellet and clad. The two-dimensional (2D) models are constructed through irregular nonuniform discretization. The pellet model includes the random variability of the critical stretch of each bond based on normal distribution. The contact model with non-uniform discretization is proposed in… More >

    Effects of Material Heterogeneity on the Blast-Induced Rock Crack Initiation and Propagation

    Shuyu Wang1, Linjuan Wang1,*, Yunteng Wang2

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09217

    Abstract Material heterogeneity plays an important role in the blasting induced rock fracture. However, the investigation of the effects of material heterogeneity is limited by the numerical methods for dynamic fracture. In the work, we propose a peridynamic model for brittle rock with heterogeneous micro-modulus and critical stretch to investigate the effects of material heterogeneity on the blast-induced rock crack initiation and propagation. The discretization in polar coordinates is introduced into the proposed model to avoid the fallacious directional guidance to the crack initiation around the hole. The proposed model satisfies the More >
