Multiscale techniques are often prohibitively expensive for large models, while neural networks struggle to represent underlying microscopic material properties. To overcome these challenges, a meso-micro scale numerical method using a virtual node approach is developed in this study. A Wbraid/Al/Epoxy functional structural material is fabricated, and a representative periodic unit cell is identified based on its architecture. The complex structure is then discretized into nodes, and mechanical interactions are governed by pre-defined computation rules. This virtual node method is systematically compared against both multiscale simulation and a neural network algorithm, with validation provided through mechanical experiments. The results demonstrate that the nodal operation strategy significantly reduces computational resource requirements. By quantifying microscopic bonding with coefficients, explicit interface treatment is avoided, granting the method strong adaptability to lattice materials. The method can simulate extremely complex structures using parameters from simple tests and is suited for large systems. Compared to three-point bending experiments, errors for multiscale, virtual node, and neural network methods were 12.4%, 6.9%, and 34.5%, respectively. Under dynamic compression, the errors were 2.7%, 9.3%, and 15.43%. The virtual node method demonstrated superior accuracy under static conditions, enabling efficient prediction and auxiliary development of complex structural materials.展开更多

文摘Machine learning-assisted methods for rapid and accurate prediction of temperature field,mushy zone,and grain size were proposed for the heating−cooling combined mold(HCCM)horizontal continuous casting of C70250 alloy plates.First,finite element simulations of casting processes were carried out with various parameters to build a dataset.Subsequently,different machine learning algorithms were employed to achieve high precision in predicting temperature fields,mushy zone locations,mushy zone inclination angle,and billet grain size.Finally,the process parameters were quickly optimized using a strategy consisting of random generation,prediction,and screening,allowing the mushy zone to be controlled to the desired target.The optimized parameters are 1234℃for heating mold temperature,47 mm/min for casting speed,and 10 L/min for cooling water flow rate.The optimized mushy zone is located in the middle of the second heat insulation section and has an inclination angle of roughly 7°.

文摘Adhesively bonded joints are widely used in modern lightweight structures due to their high strengthto-weight ratio and design flexibility.However,the reliable non-destructive evaluation of bond integrity remains a significant challenge.This study presents a numerical investigation of adhesively bonded joints with different adhesive properties using ultrasonic guided waves.The main focus of the investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of using guided waves to assess bond integrity,particularly for detecting challenging weak bonds.For this purpose,a theoretical analysis of dispersion curves was conducted,revealing that the S0 Lamb wave mode is significantly sensitive to variations in adhesive properties in the 300-700 kHz frequency range.Finite element modelling was used to analyse the propagation of guided waves in two scenarios:an adhesively bonded aluminum structure and a more complex configuration-adhesively bonded lap joints.The Short-Time Fourier Transform(STFT)was used to process the obtained results and determine the group velocities of guided waves.By analysing the group velocity characteristics,their dependence on the adhesive properties was identified.In the first scenario,a clear separation of S0 modes from A0 modes was observed in the STFT analysis,with a decrease in group velocity as adhesive stiffness increased.For the more complex lap joint scenario,the separation between A0 and S0 modes was less distinct.However,the analysis of the average group velocity shows a dependence of average group velocity on adhesive properties.This is similar to the first scenario.There is a decrease in average group velocity as adhesive stiffness increases.The results obtained demonstrate that guided wavebased methods have a high potential for non-destructive evaluation of adhesively bonded structures,including the detection of weak bonds.

文摘As binary geological media,soil-rock mixtures(SRMs)exhibit a distinct gradational composition,leading to their unique mechanical behaviors.To appraise the stability of SRM slopes,it is essential to determine equivalent parameters of SRMs,which are typically obtained through experimental and numerical methods.In contrasted to other numerical methods,the numerical manifold method(NMM)is more effective in addressing SRM problems.This is because the high-precision regular mathematical meshes in NMM can be used without aligning with the soil-rock interfaces and boundaries of SRMs.In the current research,the equivalent strength parameters of SRMs,i.e.the equivalent cohesion ce and internal friction angleϕ_(e),are determined using NMM.Initially,an NMM triaxial numerical model is established and validated based on triaxial experiments.Subsequently,the soil and rock parameters are derived through parameter inversion.Moreover,the impacts of rock content,size,shape and rock blocks'major-axis orientation on ce andϕ_(e) of SRMs are thoroughly examined using the NMM triaxial numerical model.Additionally,a fitting function is proposed to linkϕ_(e) to the rock content and size of SRMs.When other influencing factors are fixed,the above fitting model leads to the following conclusions:(1)the predictedϕ_(e) of SRMs increase with the increase of rock content;and(2)SRM samples with smaller rocks display a higher predictedϕ_(e).

文摘In this article,we show the existence,uniqueness and stability of bounded solutions to the following quasilinear problems with mean curvature operator(φ'(x′(t)))′=f(t,x),t≥t_(0),lim_(t→∞)x(t)=ψ_(0),lim_(t→∞)x′(t)e^(t)=0,where t_(0) and ψ_(0) are real constants,φ(s)=s/√1−s^(2),s∈R with s∈(−1,1),f:[t_(0),∞)×R→R satisfies the Lipschitz or Osgood-type conditions.
文摘Composite resin restorations are routinely exposed to acidic and chromogenic beverages that may alter their surface integrity over time.This in-vitro study evaluated the surface roughness behavior of two universal single-shade(Unishade)composites and two conventionalmulti-shade composites following immersion in commonly consumed staining solutions and assessed whether repolishing could restore smoothness after degradation.A total of 120 standardized disc specimens were fabricated and allocated to fourmaterial groups,with each group subdivided into distilled water,cola,and coffee immersion subgroups.Surface roughness was recorded at baseline,after one week,after one month,and following a final repolishing step using a standardized multi-step system.The findings demonstrated that Unishade composites exhibited more stable surface characteristics across all immersion periods,with changes consistently remaining below the threshold associated with biofilm accumulation.Conventional composites showed greater variability,particularly in cola,where roughness values increased significantly compared with distilled water and coffee.Repolishing substantially reduced immersion-induced roughness in all materials,although its effectiveness varied depending on composite formulation and beverage acidity.Cola produced the greatest surface alterations across all groups,highlighting the erosive potential of low-pH beverages.These results indicate that Unishade composites possess superior resistance to surface degradation,likely due to their nano-structured filler configuration and less hydrophilic resin matrices,while conventional materials appear more susceptible to acidic challenge.Within the limitations of this study,selecting surface-stable material types and applying appropriate finishing and repolishing protocols may enhance the long-term performance and esthetics of composite restorations.

文摘Regenerative catalytic oxidizers(RCO)are widely used to remove volatile organic compounds(VOCs)due to their energy-saving and stability.In this study,a multi-component catalytic reaction model was constructed to numerically investigate the reaction process of hydrocarbon-containing VOCs in RCO using computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation.To obtain the conversion characteristics of multi-component hydrocarbons,the effects of intake load,equivalence ratio,and the composition of multi-component hydrocarbons on the flow,heat transfer,and conversion rate of the reactor were analyzed.A feasibility study plan targeting the hard-to-convert components was also proposed.The results indicated that as the load increases,the conversion rates of the various components decrease,while the reaction rates increase.Moreover,increasing the flow velocity intensifies turbulence and enhances the collision frequency between the gas and the wall surfaces.This,in turn,amplifies the resistance effect of the porous medium.As the equivalence ratio of VOCs to oxygen increases,the oxygen-deficient condition leads to a decrease in the molecular weight of the hydrocarbons involved in the reaction.The reaction temperature also shows a downward trend.A comparative analysis of the catalytic combustion characteristics of multi-component VOCs and single-component gases reveals that adding ethane and propane can facilitate methane oxidation.

文摘Prenatal exposure to bisphenols and metals has raised significant concerns regarding their potential impact on fetal development,particularly the risk of fetal chromosome numerical abnormalities(CNA).In this case-control study,we analyzed bisphenol and metal concentrations in amniotic fluid of high-risk pregnant women undergoing amniocentesis.Concentrations of bisphenols and metals were measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry,respectively.Logistic regression and quantile-based g-computation were applied to evaluate individual and combined effects,while dose-response relationships were assessed using restricted cubic splines.Our findings indicated that bisphenol S(BPS),bisphenol Z(BPZ),bisphenol AF(BPAF),antimony(Sb),and vanadium(V)were significantly associated with an increased risk of CNA when analyzed individually,whereas manganese,iron,copper(Cu),nickel(Ni),and zinc(Zn)were significantly and inversely associated with CNA risk.Combined exposure to bisphenol and metal mixtures was associated with an increased risk of CNA in multi-pollutant models.Cu and Ni exhibited a positive additive interaction.Furthermore,BPS,BPZ,and BPAF were individually associated with an increased risk of Down syndrome,while Zn was associated with a decreased risk of Down syndrome.BPS,Sb,V,and Zn were individually associated with an increased risk of Klinefelter syndrome.These findings underscore the potential role of prenatal bisphenol and metal exposure in the pathogenesis of fetal CNA,highlighting both additive and synergistic effects.
文摘Existing numerical methods for complex composites, such as multiscale simulation and neural network algorithms, face significant limitations. Multiscale techniques are often prohibitively expensive for large models, while neural networks struggle to represent underlying microscopic material properties. To overcome these challenges, a meso-micro scale numerical method using a virtual node approach is developed in this study. A Wbraid/Al/Epoxy functional structural material is fabricated, and a representative periodic unit cell is identified based on its architecture. The complex structure is then discretized into nodes, and mechanical interactions are governed by pre-defined computation rules. This virtual node method is systematically compared against both multiscale simulation and a neural network algorithm, with validation provided through mechanical experiments. The results demonstrate that the nodal operation strategy significantly reduces computational resource requirements. By quantifying microscopic bonding with coefficients, explicit interface treatment is avoided, granting the method strong adaptability to lattice materials. The method can simulate extremely complex structures using parameters from simple tests and is suited for large systems. Compared to three-point bending experiments, errors for multiscale, virtual node, and neural network methods were 12.4%, 6.9%, and 34.5%, respectively. Under dynamic compression, the errors were 2.7%, 9.3%, and 15.43%. The virtual node method demonstrated superior accuracy under static conditions, enabling efficient prediction and auxiliary development of complex structural materials.
文摘Hydraulic fracturing serves as a critical technology for reservoir stimulation in deep coalbed methane(CBM)development,where the mechanical properties of gangue layers exert a significant control on fracture propagation behavior.To address the unclear mechanisms governing fracture penetration across coal-gangue interfaces,this study employs the Continuum-Discontinuum Element Method(CDEM)to simulate and analyze the vertical propagation of hydraulic fractures initiating within coal seams,based on geomechanical parameters derived from the deep Benxi Formation coal seams in the southeastern Ordos Basin.The investigation systematically examines the influence of geological and operational parameters on cross-interfacial fracture growth.Results demonstrate that vertical stress difference,elastic modulus contrast between coal and gangue layers,interfacial stress differential,and interfacial cohesion at coal-gangue interfaces are critical factors governing hydraulic fracture penetration through these interfaces.High vertical stress differences(>3 MPa)inhibit interfacial dilation,promoting predominant crosslayer fracture propagation.Reduced interfacial stress contrasts and enhanced interfacial cohesion facilitate fracture penetration across interfaces.Furthermore,smaller elastic modulus contrasts between coal and gangue correlate with increased interfacial aperture.Finally,lower injection rates effectively suppress vertical fracture propagation in deep coal reservoirs.This study elucidates the characteristics and mechanisms governing cross-layer fracture propagation in coal–rock composites with interbedded partings,and delineates the dynamic evolution laws and dominant controlling factors involved.Thefindings provide critical theoretical insights for the optimization of fracture design and the efficient development of deep coalbed methane reservoirs.
