    Macroscopic Modelling Approach for Textile Reinforcement Forming

    Renzi Bai1,2,*, Julien Colmars3, Hui Cheng1,2, Kaifu Zhang1,2, Philippe Boisse3

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.30, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.011719

    Abstract The increasing use of composite material require more efficient and inexpensive manufacturing process analysis method to optimize the product quality. The manufacture of textile reinforced composites often requires the preforming of a dry textile reinforcement and the subsequent injection of a resin in Liquid Composite Moulding processes (LCM). The composite can also be produced by thermoforming a prepreg consisting of a textile reinforcement incorporating the unhardened matrix, so that the composite can be formed. In both cases (LCM and prepreg), the forming process is driven by the deformation of the textile reinforcement which is influenced… More >

    Lei Zhang1, Rongliang Shi1,2,*, Junhui Li2, Yannan Yu1, Yu Zhang1

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.11, pp. 3181-3197, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2024.054485 - 21 October 2024

    Abstract The grid-forming virtual synchronous generator (GFVSG) not only employs a first-order low-pass filter for virtual inertia control but also introduces grid-connected active power (GCAP) dynamic oscillation issues, akin to those observed in traditional synchronous generators. In response to this, an improved strategy for lead-lag filter based GFVSG (LLF-GFVSG) is presented in this article. Firstly, the grid-connected circuit structure and control principle of typical GFVSG are described, and a closed-loop small-signal model for GCAP in GFVSG is established. The causes of GCAP dynamic oscillation of GFVSG under the disturbances of active power command as well as More >

    Abstract Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous, recurring cancer characterized by a high rate of metastasis, poor prognosis, and lack of efficient therapies. KBU2046, a small molecule inhibitor, can inhibit cell motility in malignant tumors, including breast cancer. However, the specific targets and the corresponding mechanism of its function remain unclear. Methods: In this study, we employed (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H tetrazolium) (MTS) assay and transwell assay to investigate the impact of KBU2046 on the proliferation and migration of TNBC cells in vitro. RNA-Seq was used to explore the targets of KBU2046 that inhibit the motility of TNBC.… More > Graphic Abstract

    Zerong Tang, Tiecheng Song*, Jing Hu

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.81, No.1, pp. 1835-1854, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.056983 - 15 October 2024

    Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) will carry a large amount of security and privacy-related data, which makes the secure communication between the IoV terminals increasingly critical. This paper studies the joint beamforming for physical-layer security transmission in the coexistence of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) assistance, taking into account hardware impairments. A communication model for physical-layer security transmission is established when the eavesdropping user is present and the base station antenna has hardware impairments assisted by RIS. Based on this model, we propose to maximize the V2I physical-layer security… More >

    Bending Collapse of Easily Fabricated Single- and Multi-Cell Arched Beams

    Xiong Zhang1,2,*, Jinkang Xiong1, Xinrong Fu1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.29, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.011760

    Abstract Thin-walled beams are widely applied as energy-absorbing components in industrial products to meet the requirements of passive safety. Researchers have tried various approaches to improve the energy absorption efficiency of them. Recently, adopting arched beams was proposed by researchers to improve the crashworthiness of beams under transverse loads. Arched beams can switch the transverse forces to axial forces and were reported to show very much better crashworthiness performances than straight beams.
    Although adopting arched beams is an effective way to improve the performance of beams under transverse loads, the fabrication of arched beams is more… More >

    Conforming Embedded Isogeometric Analysis with Applications in Structural Mechanics and Fluid-Solid Interactions

    Xuefeng Zhu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.29, No.4, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.012543

    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 >

    Deqing Han, Yong Zeng*, Jintong Gu, Bin Yan

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.10, pp. 2393-2415, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.053114 - 23 September 2024

    Abstract To accurately predict the film thickness distribution during dynamic spraying performed with air guns and support accordingly the development of intelligent spray painting, the spray problem was analyzed numerically. In particular, the Eulerian-Eulerian approach was employed to calculate the paint atomization and film deposition process. Different spray heights, spray angles, spray gun movement speeds, spray trajectory curvature radii, and air pressure values were considered. Numerical simulation results indicate that the angle of spray painting significantly affects the velocity of droplets near the spray surface. With an increase in the spraying angle, spraying height and spray… More >

    Luda Chen1, Kuangzhu Bao2, Ying Chen2, Jingang Hao2,*, Jianfeng He1,3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 409-427, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.048507 - 25 April 2024

    Abstract Pancreatic diseases, including mass-forming chronic pancreatitis (MFCP) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), present with similar imaging features, leading to diagnostic complexities. Deep Learning (DL) methods have been shown to perform well on diagnostic tasks. Existing DL pancreatic lesion diagnosis studies based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) utilize the prior information to guide models to focus on the lesion region. However, over-reliance on prior information may ignore the background information that is helpful for diagnosis. This study verifies the diagnostic significance of the background information using a clinical dataset. Consequently, the Prior Difference Guidance Network (PDGNet)… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.140, No.1, pp. 461-483, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.046467 - 16 April 2024

    Abstract In this research, we present the pure open multi-processing (OpenMP), pure message passing interface (MPI), and hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallel solvers within the dynamic explicit central difference algorithm for the coining process to address the challenge of capturing fine relief features of approximately 50 microns. Achieving such precision demands the utilization of at least 7 million tetrahedron elements, surpassing the capabilities of traditional serial programs previously developed. To mitigate data races when calculating internal forces, intermediate arrays are introduced within the OpenMP directive. This helps ensure proper synchronization and avoid conflicts during parallel execution. Additionally, in… More > Graphic Abstract
