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 More >

Abstract The macroscopic tar-rich coal in-situ pyrolysis (TCISP) multi-physics simulation is conducted, in the fractured porous zone, by coupling heat transfer, fluid flow, and chemical reaction. A novel TCISP pattern of gas injection between fractured zones is proposed, by treating the fractured porous zone as a homogeneous porosity gradient descending region. In this case, nearly 11500 kg of oil can be produced within 6 months from a 10*10*1 m3 area. The influence of the fractured zone and porosity are investigated. Results indicated that gas injection between fractured zones is more conducive to rapid production, compared with More >

Abstract In a turbine of a jet engine, deposition phenomenon is often observed. Deposition is a phenomenon that particles such as volcanic ash, sand and dust passing through a combustion chamber of a jet engine are melt, rapidly cooled and then accumulate on the turbine blade and end-wall surfaces. Deposition is one of critical problems when aircraft flies in a cloud with many particles. Obviously, deposition can degrade the aerodynamic performance of the turbine blade and vane, and make partial or complete blockage of film-cooling holes. As the result, deposition deteriorates safety and life time of… More >

Abstract Recently, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are expected to utilize for the components of gas turbine engines due to its low density, high strength, and high rigidity in the high-temperature condition. The environmental barrier coating (EBC) is a key technology for the practical application of CMC to prevent surface regression from particulate and water vapor environments. However, the anti-erosion characteristics of CMC and EBC have not been clarified. In the present study, the authors performed numerical simulations of particulate erosion phenomena in a high-pressure turbine first stage to investigate the differences in the damage pattern and More >

Abstract A recently developed novel three-dimensional (3D) computational framework for the analysis of polycrystalline materials at the grain scale is described in this lecture. The framework is based on the employment of: i) 3D Laguerre-Voronoi tessellations for the representation of the micro-morphology of polycrystalline materials; ii) boundary integral equations for the representation of the mechanics of the individual grains; iii) suitable cohesive traction-separation laws for the representation of the multi-physics behavior of the interfaces (either inter-granular or trans-granular) within the aggregate, which are the seat of damage initiation and evolution processes, up to complete decohesion and failure. The lecture will describe More >

Abstract Skeletal muscles are responsible for the relative motion of the bones at the joints and provide the required strength. They exhibit highly nonlinear mechanical behaviour and are described by nonlinear hyperelastic constitutive relations. It is distinct from other biological soft tissue. Its hyperelastic or viscoelastic behaviour is modelled by using CE, SEE, and PEE. Contractile element simulates the behaviour of skeletal muscle when it is subjected to eccentric and concentric contraction. This research aims to estimate the stress induced in skeletal muscle in eccentric and concentric contraction with respect to the predefined strain. With the… More >

Abstract This paper describes the capabilities of fluid structure interaction based multi-physics numerical modelling in solving problems related to vascular biomechanics. In this research work, the onset of a pressure pulse was simulated at the entrance of a three dimensional straight segment of the blood vessel like circular tube and the resulting dynamic response in the form of a propagating pulse wave through the wall was analysed and compared. Good agreement was found between the numerical results and the theoretical description of an idealized artery. Work has also been done on implementing the material constitutive models More >

Abstract Vibration of a single graphene and a pair of graphenes at micro meter scale induced by air flow is numerically simulated and examined by using a hybrid computational method starting from a microscopic level of description for the graphene. In order to bridge a huge gap in spatial and time scales in their motions, the carbon atoms of the graphene are represented by a small number of coarse grained particles, the fluid motion is described by the lattice Boltzmann equation and the momentum exchange at the boundary is treated by the time averaged immersed boundary… More >

Abstract The capability to predict the residual stresses induced during the manufacturing process in composite components is necessary for the timely fielding of new combat systems. At the U.S. Army Research Laboratory we have developed a computational environment to model the resin flow, heat transfer, curing, and residual stresses in composite components manufactured with the resin transfer molding (RTM) process. This computational environment uses object-oriented programming methods to provide model coupling capabilities and access to high performance computing assets. In this paper we will provide details of the physical models, software, and the validation/verification procedure used More >
