The resulting truncated PCE system is solved using a novel numerical discretization method based on spatial derivative operators satisfying the summation by parts property and weak boundary conditions to ensure stability. The resulting PCE solution yields an accurate quantitative description of the stochastic evolution of the system, provided that appropriate boundary conditions are available. The specification of the boundary data is shown to influence the solution; we will discuss the problematic implications of the lack of precisely characterized boundary data and possible ways of imposing stable and accurate boundary conditions.展开更多

New and perhaps unexpected progress in rate-independent elastoplastic modeling is reported with a unified approach toward simulating widely ranging non-elastic effects of various advanced engineering materials such as...New and perhaps unexpected progress in rate-independent elastoplastic modeling is reported with a unified approach toward simulating widely ranging non-elastic effects of various advanced engineering materials such as metals,shape memory alloys,granular materials,fiber-reinforced composites,as well as crystalline solids,etc.This progress originates from a simple idea of bypassing inherent limitations of usual elastoplastic formulations centered on the notion of yielding.With no reference to any yield criteria,the plastic strain-rate should be induced at all stress levels in a more realistic sense that it is small for stresses within a classical yield surface and becomes appreciable for stresses close to and on this surface.A new and unified flow rule for the plastic strain-rate is then proposed of the same smooth form for all cases of both the stress level and the stress rate.Without imposing the ad hoc simplified conditions introduced in usual Prandtl-Reuss equations,new elastoplastic equations are then established by incorporating such small deviations from realistic behaviors as neglected just by postulating these conditions.It turns out that the new equations are not only essentially simpler in both conceptual and structural formulations,but can automatically as inherent response features incorporate significant effects excluded from usual Prandtl-Reuss equations,such as the yielding and unloading behaviors with smooth transitions,the pseudo-elastic effect with hysteresis loops,the non-elastic recovery during unloading as well as failure effects under either monotone or cyclic loading conditions,etc.Since such effects not only go beyond the scope of usual elastoplastic equations but can be only partially simulated even if augmented constitutive equations are postulated toward further characterizing damaging and fracturing effects resulting from evolving micro-defects and macro-cracks,it may be probably surprising that now the new equations of essentially simpler structure not only can in a unified manner simulate all these effects but also can bypass numerical complexities in integrating various rate constitutive equations of complex structures.New results in treating long-standing issues in a few respects are presented,including(i)the yielding and the unloading behaviors with smooth transitions,(ii)the non-elastic recovery during unloading,(iii)the pseudo-elastic effect as extraordinary Bauschinger effect,(iv)failure effects under monotone and cyclic loading,(v)anisotropic multi-mode failure effects of unidirectional composites,(vi)new formulation of crystal elastoplasticity without involving non-uniqueness and singularity issues,(vii)non-normality effects for non-proportional multi-axial loading cases,and(viii)high efficiency algorithms for simulating multi-axial fatigue effects.展开更多

However, the procedure is usually complex and often is time-consuming. We thus put forward adeep learning method to model the geometrically nonlinear bending behavior of FG plates, bypassing the complexIGA simulation process. A long bidirectional short-term memory (BLSTM) recurrent neural network is trainedusing the load and gradient index as inputs and the displacement responses as outputs. The nonlinear relationshipbetween the outputs and the inputs is constructed usingmachine learning so that the displacements can be directlyestimated by the deep learning network. To provide enough training data, we use S-FSDT Von-Karman IGA andobtain the displacement responses for different loads and gradient indexes. Results show that the recognition erroris low, and demonstrate the feasibility of deep learning technique as a fast and accurate alternative to IGA formodeling the geometrically nonlinear bending behavior of FG plates.展开更多

It is assumed that lattices are linear elastic but not necessarily isotropic, whereas interphases exhibit non-linear elastic behavior. It is demonstrated that such problems can be treated effectively using Green's functions, which allow to eliminate the degrees of freedom outside of the interphase. Illustrative numerical examples focus on the determination of applied stresses leading to lattice instability.展开更多

文摘New and perhaps unexpected progress in rate-independent elastoplastic modeling is reported with a unified approach toward simulating widely ranging non-elastic effects of various advanced engineering materials such as metals,shape memory alloys,granular materials,fiber-reinforced composites,as well as crystalline solids,etc.This progress originates from a simple idea of bypassing inherent limitations of usual elastoplastic formulations centered on the notion of yielding.With no reference to any yield criteria,the plastic strain-rate should be induced at all stress levels in a more realistic sense that it is small for stresses within a classical yield surface and becomes appreciable for stresses close to and on this surface.A new and unified flow rule for the plastic strain-rate is then proposed of the same smooth form for all cases of both the stress level and the stress rate.Without imposing the ad hoc simplified conditions introduced in usual Prandtl-Reuss equations,new elastoplastic equations are then established by incorporating such small deviations from realistic behaviors as neglected just by postulating these conditions.It turns out that the new equations are not only essentially simpler in both conceptual and structural formulations,but can automatically as inherent response features incorporate significant effects excluded from usual Prandtl-Reuss equations,such as the yielding and unloading behaviors with smooth transitions,the pseudo-elastic effect with hysteresis loops,the non-elastic recovery during unloading as well as failure effects under either monotone or cyclic loading conditions,etc.Since such effects not only go beyond the scope of usual elastoplastic equations but can be only partially simulated even if augmented constitutive equations are postulated toward further characterizing damaging and fracturing effects resulting from evolving micro-defects and macro-cracks,it may be probably surprising that now the new equations of essentially simpler structure not only can in a unified manner simulate all these effects but also can bypass numerical complexities in integrating various rate constitutive equations of complex structures.New results in treating long-standing issues in a few respects are presented,including(i)the yielding and the unloading behaviors with smooth transitions,(ii)the non-elastic recovery during unloading,(iii)the pseudo-elastic effect as extraordinary Bauschinger effect,(iv)failure effects under monotone and cyclic loading,(v)anisotropic multi-mode failure effects of unidirectional composites,(vi)new formulation of crystal elastoplasticity without involving non-uniqueness and singularity issues,(vii)non-normality effects for non-proportional multi-axial loading cases,and(viii)high efficiency algorithms for simulating multi-axial fatigue effects.

文摘Topology optimization(TO)has become a core computational paradigm for structural design by defining optimality through physics-based objectives and constraints.However,practical engineering design often involves incomplete and imperfect physical modeling due to multi-physics coupling,manufacturing uncertainty,and computational constraints,leaving critical design factors insufficiently captured in purely physics-driven formulations.In parallel,data-driven and generative methods have enabled rapid topology generation and intent-aware design exploration,yet often weaken explicit optimality guarantees.This review argues that these seemingly divergent developments can be organized under a unified information-physics perspective.We term this emerging field Topology Optimization Informatics(TOI):optimal structural design is obtained through the joint modeling and optimization of physical laws and design-relevant information.We first summarize the integration of artificial intelligence(AI)and TO into two major paradigms:AI-based one-shot TO,which learns mappings or distributions of near-optimal designs from data and prioritizes fast generation and diversity,and AI-enhanced iterative TO,which embeds learning-based modules into the classical solver-in-the-loop pipeline while keeping the underlying governing equations unchanged.Finally,we show that traditionally separate tasks—design control,computational acceleration,and fidelity enhancement—can be interpreted as different manifestations of information-physics co-modeling within a single optimization framework,thereby clarifying their connections and design implications and outlining opportunities for semantic-and data-enabled next-generation structural design.

文摘Potential damage in composite structures caused by hail ice impact is an essential safety threat to the aircraft in flight.In this study,a nonlinear finite element(FE)model is developed to investigate the dynamic response and damage behavior of hybrid corrugated sandwich structures subjected to high velocity hail ice impact.The impact and breaking behavior of hail are described using the FE-smoothed particle hydrodynamics(FE-SPH)method.A rate-dependent progressive damage model is employed to capture the intra-laminar damage response;cohesive element and surface-based cohesive contact are implemented to predict the inter-laminar delamination and sheet/core debonding phenomena respectively.The transient processes of sandwich structure under different hail ice impact conditions are analyzed.Comparative analysis is conducted to address the influences of core shape and impact position on the impact performance of sandwich structures and the corresponding energy absorption characteristics are also revealed.

文摘The paper applied the isogeometric boundary element method(IGABEM)to thermoelastic problems.The Non-Uniform Rational B-splines(NURBS)used to construct geometric models are employed to discretize the boundary integral formulation of the governing equation.Due to the existence of thermal stress,the domain integral term appears in the boundary integral equation.We resolve this problem by incorporating radial integration method into IGABEM which converts the domain integral to the boundary integral.In this way,IGABEM can maintain its advantages in dimensionality reduction and more importantly,seamless integration of CAD and numerical analysis based on boundary representation.The algorithm is verified by numerical examples.

文摘This paper proposes a novel optimization framework in passive control techniques to reduce noise pollution.The geometries of the structures are represented by Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces,which are able to build gap-free Computer-Aided Design models and meanwhile tackle the extraordinary points that are commonly encountered in geometricmodelling.The acoustic fields are simulated using the isogeometric boundary elementmethod,and a density-based topology optimization is conducted to optimize distribution of sound-absorbing materials adhered to structural surfaces.The approach enables one to perform acoustic optimization from Computer-Aided Design models directly without needingmeshing and volume parameterization,thereby avoiding the geometric errors and time-consuming preprocessing steps in conventional simulation and optimization methods.The effectiveness of the present method is demonstrated by three dimensional numerical examples.

文摘Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is known to showadvanced features compared to traditional finite element approaches.Using IGA one may accurately obtain the geometrically nonlinear bending behavior of plates with functionalgrading (FG). However, the procedure is usually complex and often is time-consuming. We thus put forward adeep learning method to model the geometrically nonlinear bending behavior of FG plates, bypassing the complexIGA simulation process. A long bidirectional short-term memory (BLSTM) recurrent neural network is trainedusing the load and gradient index as inputs and the displacement responses as outputs. The nonlinear relationshipbetween the outputs and the inputs is constructed usingmachine learning so that the displacements can be directlyestimated by the deep learning network. To provide enough training data, we use S-FSDT Von-Karman IGA andobtain the displacement responses for different loads and gradient indexes. Results show that the recognition erroris low, and demonstrate the feasibility of deep learning technique as a fast and accurate alternative to IGA formodeling the geometrically nonlinear bending behavior of FG plates.
文摘Anti-plane deformation of square lattices containing interphases is analyzed. It is assumed that lattices are linear elastic but not necessarily isotropic, whereas interphases exhibit non-linear elastic behavior. It is demonstrated that such problems can be treated effectively using Green's functions, which allow to eliminate the degrees of freedom outside of the interphase. Illustrative numerical examples focus on the determination of applied stresses leading to lattice instability.

文摘We propose a new framework for the sampling,compression,and analysis of distributions of point sets and other geometric objects embedded in Euclidean spaces.Our approach involves constructing a tensor called the RaySense sketch,which captures nearest neighbors from the underlying geometry of points along a set of rays.We explore various operations that can be performed on the RaySense sketch,leading to different properties and potential applications.Statistical information about the data set can be extracted from the sketch,independent of the ray set.Line integrals on point sets can be efficiently computed using the sketch.We also present several examples illustrating applications of the proposed strategy in practical scenarios.

文摘Light-induced ultrafast spin dynamics in materials is of great importance for developments of spintronics and magnetic storage technology.Recent progresses include ultrafast demagnetization,magnetic switching,and magnetic phase transitions,while the ultrafast generation of magnetism is hardly achieved.Here,a strong lightinduced magnetization(up to 0.86μBper formula unit)is identified in non-magnetic monolayer molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2)).With the state-of-the-art time-dependent density functional theory simulations,we demonstrate that the out-of-plane magnetization can be induced by circularly polarized laser,where chiral phonons play a vital role.The phonons strongly modulate spin-orbital interactions and promote electronic transitions between the two conduction band states,achieving an effective magnetic field~380 T.Our study provides important insights into the ultrafast magnetization and spin-phonon coupling dynamics,facilitating effective light-controlled valleytronics and magnetism.
