Abstract The dynamics of a bilayer system filling a rectangular cuvette subjected to external heating is studied. The influence of two types of thermal exposure on the flow pattern and on the dynamic contact angle is analyzed. In particular, the cases of local heating from below and distributed thermal load from the lateral walls are considered. The simulation is carried out within the frame of a two-sided evaporative convection model based on the Boussinesq approximation. A benzine–air system is considered as reference system. The variation in time of the contact angle is described for both heating More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Recent industrial explosions globally have intensified the focus in mechanical engineering on designing infrastructure systems and networks capable of withstanding blast loading. Initially centered on high-profile facilities such as embassies and petrochemical plants, this concern now extends to a wider array of infrastructures and facilities. Engineers and scholars increasingly prioritize structural safety against explosions, particularly to prevent disproportionate collapse and damage to nearby structures. Urbanization has further amplified the reliance on oil and gas pipelines, making them vital for urban life and prime targets for terrorist activities. Consequently, there is a growing imperative for computational… More >

Abstract Projection-based embedded discrete fracture model (pEDFM) is an effective numerical model to handle the flow in fractured reservoirs, with high efficiency and strong generalization of flow models. However, this paper points out that pEDFM fails to handle flow barriers in most cases, and identifies the physical projection configuration of fractures is a key step in pEDFM. This paper presents and proves the equivalence theorem, which explains the geometric nature of physical projection configurations of fractures, that is, the projection configuration of a fracture being physical is equivalent to it being topologically homeomorphic to the fracture, More >

Abstract In modeling of material deformation responses, the physical phenomena such as stress singularity problems, strain localization and modeling of size effects cannot be properly captured by means of classical continuum mechanics. Therefore, various regularization techniques have been developed to overcome these problems. In the case of gradient approach the implicit gradient formulations are usually used when dealing with softening. Although the structural responses are mesh objective, they suffer from spurious damage growth. Therefore, a new formulation based on the strain gradient continuum theory, which includes both strain gradients and their stress conjugates, has been proposed.… More >

Abstract The deformation and damage evolution of sandstone after heat treatment greatly influence the efficient and safe development of deep geothermal energy extraction. To investigate this issue, laboratory confined compression tests and numerical simulations were conducted on pre-holed sandstone specimens after heat treatment. The laboratory test results show that the failure modes are closely related to the heat treatment temperature, with increasing treatment temperature, the failure modes change from mixed and shear modes to a splitting mode. The cracks always initiate from the sidewalls of the hole and then propagate. The failure process inside the hole… More >

Abstract The present paper deals with a numerical investigation on hybrid bolted joints between unidirectional, quasi isotropic Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite and aluminium alloy plates, subjected to traction loads. CFRP composite materials are widely used in aerospace applications, where requirements of weight reduction and structural high performances are very compelling. Composite materials generally present high resistance to fatigue and corrosion but the presence of joints in the structure can cause structural problems and then decrease the structural reliability of jointed component.
A hybrid bolted joint constituted of a metal plate, made of aluminium alloy, and… More >

Abstract Since 80’s many devices were developed to exploit the unique blend of mechanical and biocompatibility properties of shape memory alloys in orthodontic applications. It results in a high clinical effectiveness, but also in a spreading of technical knowledge on the properties of the single appliances. The goal of the present contribution is to contrast this sense of bewilderness and to prepare the basis for a simulationtool able to support the orthodontist choice. In particular a finite-element beam with a one-dimensional constitutive law, able to describe the SMA super elasticity and shape memory effect, is presented: More >

Abstract In this study, the efficient discrete model including the resin infusion and the fiber compaction is developed to simulate the RFI (resin film infusion) process. The non-linear governing equations are derived by the Darcy's law, the Terzaghi's law and the continuity equations. The finite element method and the finite difference method are used to discretize the proposed equations, and the VOF method is used to track the filling front. Compared with the analytical results of Park, our numerical results agree well with them. Furthermore, we analyze the RFI process of BMI/G0814, and simulate the resin More >

Abstract In the modeling of liquid to solid phase change processes the movement of the solid phase (e.g., the grains that form when solidifying an alloy) can have a significant impact on the timing and pattern of the process. While a number of solidification models account for the movement of the solid phase, additional analysis is needed to fully understand the phenomena and guide in the selection of appropriate numerical technologies for its resolution. Towards this end, here, we introduce a reduced complexity model (RCM) to describe the solidification of an initially liquid binary material flowing… More >
