    Junpeng Lyu1, Hai Mei1,2, Liping Zu1, Lisheng Liu1,2,*, Liangliang Chu1,2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 391-410, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.030614

    Abstract This article proposes a modeling method for C/C-ZrC composite materials. According to the superposition of Gaussian random field, the original gray model is obtained, and the threshold segmentation method is used to generate the C-ZrC inclusion model. Finally, the fiber structure is added to construct the microstructure of the three-phase plain weave composite. The reconstructed inclusions can meet the randomness of the shape and have a uniform distribution. Using an algorithm based on asymptotic homogenization and finite element method, the equivalent thermal conductivity prediction of the microstructure finite element model was carried out, and the influence of component volume fraction… 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 >

    Multi-Scale Topology Optimization Method Considering Multiple Structural Performances

    Wenjun Chen1, Yingjun Wang1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09095

    Abstract The rapid development of topology optimization has given birth to a large amount of different topology optimization methods, and each of them can manage a class of corresponding engineering problems. However, structures need to meet a variety of requirements in engineering application, such as lightweight and multiple load-bearing performance. To design composite structures that have multiple structural properties, a new multi-scale topology optimization method considering multiple structural performances is proposed in this paper. Based on the fitting functions of the result set and the bisection method, a new method to determine the weight coefficient is proposed in this paper, which… More >

    Magnetic Micropillar Structures for Programmable and Reprogrammable Actuation

    Ke Ni1, Zhengzhi Wang1,2,3,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.4, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09248

    Abstract Stimuli-responsive micropillar structures that can perform dynamics and reversible deformations according to external stimuli have been applied in a wide spectrum of fields, including object manipulation, soft miniature robots, and functional surfaces. However, it remains a challenge to exhibit programmable actuation behaviors for applications that require on-demand deformation response. Herein, a two-step photomask-assisted template casting technique is developed to fabricate a hybrid magnetic micropillar array for programmable actuation. By modulating the spatial distribution of the magnetic nanoparticles within the elastomer micropillars, the bending deformations of the micropillars with different particle distributions can vary near one order of magnitude under the… More >

    Microstructures and Nanomechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured Metallic Stents

    Enzoh Langi1, Liguo Zhao2,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010163

    Abstract Additive manufacturing emerges as an innovative technology to fabricate medical stents used to treat blocked arteries. However, there is a lack of study of underlying microstructure and mechanical properties of additively manufactured stent. In this work, additively manufactured 316L stainless steel stent was investigated, with electrochemical polishing being used to improve the surface finish. Microstructural characterisation was carried out using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. The hardness and elastic modulus were measured using Berkovich nanoindentation, with an emphasis on the effect of grain orientation. In addition, spherical nanoindentation was used to obtain indentation stress-strain curves based… More >

    Topological Design of Negative Poisson’s Ratio Material Microstructure Under Large Deformation with a Gradient-Free Method

    Pai Liu1,*, Weida Wu1, Yangjun Luo1, Yifan Zhang1

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09893

    Abstract Lightweight metamaterials with negative Poisson’s ratios (NPRs) have great potential for controlling deformation, absorbing energy, etc. The topology optimization [1] technique is an effective way to design metamaterials. However, as studied in [2], the NPR metamaterial configuration obtained under small deformation assumption may not maintain the desired Poisson’s ratio under relatively large deformation conditions. This paper focuses on the large-deformation NPR metamaterial design based on a gradient-free topology optimization method, i.e. the material-field series expansion (MFSE) method [3]. The metamaterial’s performance is evaluated using the finite element method, taking into account the geometry nonlinearity. By considering the spatial correlation of… More >

    Interfacial Delamination in High-Temperature Coatings with Segmented Microstructures

    Biao Li1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09818

    Abstract High-temperature coatings are extensively used in aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines to protect hot-section components from harsh operating environments [1]. Representative high-temperature coatings include thermal barrier coatings and environmental barrier coatings, which are applied to substrates made of superalloy and ceramic matrix composites, respectively. The durability of the coatings is of significant importance for the structural integrity of the components [2-4]. A segmented microstructure was widely used to improve the coatings' durability. A network of through-thickness vertical cracks is introduced into the outer layer of the coatings, which increases the compliance of the coatings and therefore reduces the interfacial… More >

    Xin Wang1,3, Ying Yan1,3, Hongmei Ji1,3,*, Xiaowu Li1,2,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.8, pp. 3297-3308, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.027066

    Abstract As an essential renewable mineral resource, mollusk shells can be used as handicrafts, building materials, adsorbents, etc. However, there are few reports on the wear resistance of their structures. The Vicker’s hardness and friction, and wear resistance of different microstructures in mollusk shells were comparatively studied in the present work. The hardness of prismatic structures is lower than that of cross-lamellar and nacreous structures. However, the experimental results of sliding tests indicate that the prismatic structure exhibits the best anti-wear ability compared with foliated, crossed-lamellar, and nacreous structures. The anti-wear and hardness do not present a positive correlation, as the… More > Graphic Abstract

    Liang Yu1,2,3, Yuan Liu1,2,3, Xiuling Cao4,*, Yulong Yan1,2,3, Chen Zhang1,2,3, Yanli Jiang1,2,3,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.7, pp. 3057-3072, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.025732

    Abstract In this study, the effect of sintering temperature and the addition of kaolin, a sintering agent, on the microscopic, phase, and mechanical properties of ceramics were investigated using secondary aluminum dross (SAD) as the main component in the manufacturing of ceramics. The basic phases of the ceramics were Al2O3, MgAl2O4, NaAl11O17, and SiO2 without the addition of kaolin. The diffraction peaks of MgAl2O4, NaAl11O17, and SiO2 kept decreasing while those of Al2O3 kept increasing with an increase in temperature. In addition, the increase in temperature promoted the growth of the grains. The grains were uniform in size and regular in… More > Graphic Abstract

    Jing Yu1, Jie Ren2, Guangming Shen3, Weixiang Sun2, Hui Wang4,*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.9, pp. 2385-2398, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.027877

    Abstract In this paper, the influence of NaCl freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles and dry-wet (D-W) alternations on the flexural, compressive and bonding strengths of alkali-activated fly ash (FA) and a blast furnace slag powder (BFS) is investigated. The considered NaCl concentration is 3%. The effect of polypropylene fibers on the mechanical strengths is also examined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry (TG) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are selected to discern the mechanisms underpinning the NaCl-induced erosion. The obtained results indicate that the best results in terms of material resistance are obtained with admixtures containing 60% BFS and 40% FA in terms of mass… More >
