    DIBYENDU S. BAG*, SHILPI TIWARI, AKANSHA DIXIT, KM. MEENU

    Journal of Polymer Materials, Vol.40, No.1-2, pp. 105-123, 2023, DOI:10.32381/JPM.2023.40.1-2.9

    Abstract In this paper, we report the microstructural investigation and influence of H-bonding on the thermal behavior e.g., glass transition (Tg ) and thermal degradation of chiral copolymers of (R)- N-(1-phenyl-ethyl) methacrylamide (R-NPEMAM) and 2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The Tg increases with the increase of chiral unit content in the copolymers and then attains optimum at around 25 mole % of chiral content. Thereafter it decreases with the increase of chiral content. The effect of copolymer composition and secondary interaction associated with the Hbonding on the thermal properties of these copolymers was also studied. Secondary interaction, specifically H-bonding has been interpreted… More >

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.18, No.2, pp. 125-141, 2024, DOI:10.32604/sdhm.2024.042594

    Abstract The safety and integrity requirements of aerospace composite structures necessitate real-time health monitoring throughout their service life. To this end, distributed optical fiber sensors utilizing back Rayleigh scattering have been extensively deployed in structural health monitoring due to their advantages, such as lightweight and ease of embedding. However, identifying the precise location of damage from the optical fiber signals remains a critical challenge. In this paper, a novel approach which namely Modified Sliding Window Principal Component Analysis (MSWPCA) was proposed to facilitate automatic damage identification and localization via distributed optical fiber sensors. The proposed method is able to extract signal… More > Graphic Abstract

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.1, pp. 167-186, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.031503

    Abstract Recycled steel fiber reinforced concrete is an innovative construction material that offers exceptional mechanical properties and durability. It is considered a sustainable material due to its low carbon footprint and environmental friendly characteristics. This study examines the key influencing factors that affect the behavior of this material, such as the steel fiber volume ratio, recycled aggregate replacement rate, concrete strength grade, anchorage length, and stirrup constraint. The study investigates the bond failure morphology, bond-slip, and bond strength constitutive relationship of steel fiber recycled concrete. The results show that the addition of steel fibers at 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% volume ratios… 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 >

    Nanomechanics of Incipient Kink Defects Formed in Nanocellulose

    Rongzhuang Song1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09608

    Abstract Kink defects in nanocellulose are ubiquitous yet associated questions remain open regarding the unclear microstructure-mechanical property relationship. Various kink patterns without molecular-scale resolution result in bemusements of how nanocellulose forms different kinks and what the fundamental mechanisms of reversible and irreversible kinks are. In our atomic force microscopy images of mechanically treated cellulose nanofibrils, bent nanofibrils usually exhibit small curvatures while kinked nanofibrils feature sharp bends, in which kinks are conspicuous due to their promiscuous configurations. To identify the nanomechanics of incipient kink defects formed in nanocellulose, molecular dynamics simulations of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) under curvature-dependent bending are subsequently carried… More >

    A Cosserat Bond-Based Correspondence Model

    Zhuang Chen1, Xihua Chu1,*, Diansen Yang1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09057

    Abstract In this study, we develop a Cosserat bond-based correspondence model(Cosserat BBCM) based on the bondbased correspondence model (BBCM)[1]. BBCM is a generalized bond-based peridynamic model, where the peridynamic pair-wise force (PD force) is calculated by classical constitutive equations through the relation between PD force and stress. In our previous study, we develop the Cosserat peridynamic model (CPM) to investigate the microstructure-related crack growth behavior [2, 3]. But the interactions between material particles are represented by PD forces and moments instead of the stress and couple stress. Due to this divergence, the Cosserat constitutive model such as the elastoplastic Cosserat model… More >

    A Coupled Hygro-Thermo-Mechanical Bond-Based Cosserat Peridynamic Porous Media Model for Heated Fracture of Concrete

    Jiaming Zhang1, Xihua Chu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.3, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09055

    Abstract This paper presents a fully coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical bond-based Cosserat peridynamic porous media model for concrete at high temperature [1-3]. The model enables the problem of Poisson's ratio limitation to be relieved and the effect of cement particle size and its independent micro-rotation to be taken into account [4]. A multi-rate explicit integration strategy is proposed, which allows this complex multi-field fully coupled governing equation to be well solved. Numerical simulations mainly focus on the terms of temperature, water vapour pressure and damage level to verify the validity of the model [5-9]. And they additionally demonstrate the effect of cement particle… More >

    Peridynamic Analysis on Thermal-Elastic Deformation of Isotropic Plate with Traction Boundary Condition

    Ming Yu1, Zeyuan Zhou1, Zaixing Huang1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.4, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09264

    Abstract How to well characterize traction boundary condition is always a difficult problem in peridynamics. In order to solve this problem, an integral term of boundary traction weighted by a tensor-typical transfer function is added to the original peridynamic motion equation, to form the so-called the traction-associated peridynamic motion equation. The traction-associated peridynamic motion equation is proved to be compatible with the conservation laws of linear and angular momentum. The conservation law of energy is also verified to have the same form as the original peridynamics advanced by Silling. Therefore, the constitutive models in the original peridynamics can be directly applied… More >

    Peridynamic Material Correspondence Models: Bond-Associated and Higher-Order Formulations

    Hailong Chen1,*, Wailam Chan1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09835

    Abstract The conventional peridynamic material correspondence model suffers from the well-known issue of material instability. The material instability in peridynamics can be understood as the existence of nonunique mapping between deformation states and the resultant force state. This instability poses practical difficulties while using the correspondence model in computational modeling. One consequence of this instability is the oscillation in the predicted displacement field, i.e., existence of zero-energy modes. Bondassociated correspondence formulations have been proposed to inherently remove the material instability. Different from the conventional formulation, bond-associated formulations are developed based on the concept of bond-associated deformation gradient that constructed based on… More >
