Abstract This report documents the application and development of differential form meshfree methods for the numerical simulation and modeling in engineering applied problems. Some of the features of this family of methods include its good numerical stability, the ease boundary condition incorporation, the approximation of the governing equations directly in the nodes that discretize the domain and the ease with which they can be numerically implemented [1-2]. Moreover, their meshless nature gives them the advantage of dealing with fragmentation and highly distorted domains without the use of computational expensive remeshing approaches. All these characteristics have promoted More >

Abstract Liquid accretion control plays a key role across a wide range of industrial applications, such as anti-icing, power generation, sewage treatment, water desalination, and energy harvesting. In condensation system, durable dropwise condensation of saturated vapor for heat transfer and energy saving in extensive industrial applications. While numerous superhydrophobic surfaces can promote steam condensation, maintaining discrete microdroplets on surfaces without the formation of a flooded filmwise condensation at high subcooling remains challenging. Here, we report the development of carbon nanotube arrayembedded hierarchical composite surfaces that enable ultra-durable dropwise condensation under a wide range of subcooling temperatures (∆T_sub… More >

Abstract The complex damping influences on the instability characteristics of the panel aero-thermo-elastic system are theoretically investigated from the energy perspectives. Firstly, by assuming a constant, uniform thermal loading and adopting the piston theory, the panel aeroelastic governing equation is obtained. After deriving the panel buckling and vibration modes, the reduced order model can be built and adopted to investigate the system primary instability in the modal coordinates. Then, introducing the modal damping coefficients ratio η > 0, the critical parameters of the panel flutter oscillation are theoretically evaluated based on the on-conservative energy balance principle, thus More >

Abstract An isogeometric coupling algorithm based on the finite element method and the boundary element method (IGA-FEM/BEM) is proposed for the simulation of acoustic fluid-structure interaction and structuralacoustic topology optimization using the direct differentiation method. The geometries are constructed from triangular control meshes through Loop subdivision scheme. The effect of sound-absorbing materials on the acoustic response is characterized by acoustic impedance boundary conditions. The optimization problem is formulated in the framework of Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization methods and the sound absorption coefficients on elements are selected as design variables. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate More >

Abstract Material wear between contact surfaces with relatively sliding can be related to the failure of elevated asperities at small scales. The asperity wear depends on various factors, including material properties, interfacial adhesion, and friction velocity. In this study, using a series of materials characterized by the modified coarse-grained potentials, we studied the rate effect of adhesive wear at the asperity level over a wide range of plowing conditions. The results showed that increasing plowing velocity leads to the transition of the wear mechanism from plasticity-induced asperity smoothing to the formation of fractured debris and thus… More >

Abstract Refurbishment of thermal barrier coating (TBC) has become a valuable technique to prolong the service life of high-temperature components. In this work, the effect of refurbishment process on the oxidation behaviors of TBC was investigated. Before recoating, the soft chemical stripping method was used to remove TBC from DD6 single-crystal superalloy. The results showed that a certain amount of IDZ layer with Cr-rich would be retained in the DD6 superalloy substrate after coating removal. The characteristics of the β phases change from the elongated grain shapes and a high aspect ratio in the ordinary specimens… More >

Abstract The material anisotropy of an aluminum sheet alloy is determined by performing tensile tests at different angles with respect to the rolling direction (RD). To study the effect of pre-straining on the evolution of material anisotropy, a very wide sheet is stretched to different strains in the transverse direction (TD). The material in the central region is very close to a state of in-plane plane strain tension. Small tensile samples are cut from the central region of the pre-strained wide sample. Tensile tests are then performed on these small tensile samples. By comparing the differences More >

Abstract Considering the high cost of numerical simulation for aeroelastic coupling analysis, it is difficult to directly apply it to engineering. In this paper, the typical swept trapezoidal wing of hypersonic aircraft [1] is simplified to a cantilever trapezoidal plate [2]. Based on semi-analytical method [3], including von Karman plate theory to consider the structural geometric nonlinearity, third-order piston theory to calculate quasi steady aerodynamic force, and Rayleigh-Ritz method to characterize the displacement as a mode superposition form, the aeroelastic equation of the swept trapezoidal wing is established, and the fourthorder Runge Kutta numerical integration is More >

Abstract This presentation introduces a concurrent topology and fiber-path optimization for continuous fiber composite under thermos-mechanical loadings. The optimization goal is to minimize the structural compliance of composite with thermos-mechanical coupling while satisfying volume fraction constraint, and ensuring the manufacturability by using continuous fibers and avoiding the appearance of over thin members. Level-set function is utilized to represent both shape boundary and fiber path. The zero isocontour of level-set function is updated using a shape sensitivity analysis for anisotropic composite, and fiber paths in shape are given by level-set functions determined from shape boundary. A level-set-based… More >
