High pressure tunnels with concrete lining have been extensively utilized in project practice. However, due to the characteristic of concrete being susceptible to cracking under tension, the lining inevitably develops cracks under high internal water pressure, posing a serious threat to the operation of tunnels. This study aims at developing a hydro-mechanical numerical model of cohesive crack propagation of concrete lining in high internal pressure tunnels. In this regard, the determination of cohesive element parameters is elucidated, the contact simulation within the software ABAQUS is improved to accurately characterize the interface between lining and surrounding rock, and the numerical calculation process in ABAQUS is realized using indirect coupled method. The simulation results align well with the physical model test and engineering monitoring data, demonstrating that the proposed method can accurately simulate the hydraulic interactions of high pressure tunnel. Additionally, a comparison with calculation models employing tie constraints to simulate the lining-surrounding rock interface is conducted. Finally, comparison with traditional continuum method reveals that while both methods exhibit consistent overall trends. It is recommended to choose the proposed method when describing the discontinuous propagation process of cracks, which cannot be simulated by the continuum analysis method.

采用混凝土衬砌的高压隧道在工程实践中得到了广泛应用。然而，由于混凝土受拉易开裂的特性，衬砌在高内水压作用下不可避免地会产生裂缝，对隧道运营构成严重威胁。本研究旨在开发高内压隧道混凝土衬砌内聚裂缝扩展的水力学数值模型。为此，阐明了内聚元素参数的确定，改进了 ABAQUS 软件中的接触模拟，以准确表征衬砌与围岩之间的界面，并采用间接耦合法实现了 ABAQUS 中的数值计算过程。模拟结果与物理模型试验和工程监测数据非常吻合，表明所提出的方法能够准确模拟高压隧道的水力相互作用。此外，还与采用拉杆约束模拟衬砌-围岩界面的计算模型进行了比较。最后，通过与传统连续介质法的比较发现，两种方法的总体趋势一致。建议在描述连续分析方法无法模拟的裂缝不连续扩展过程时，选择建议的方法。

Additive manufacturing is revolutionizing structural design, with lattice structures becoming increasingly prominent due to their superior mechanical properties. However, simulating these structures quickly and accurately using the finite element method (FEM) remains challenging. Recent research has highlighted beam element simulation within FEM as a more efficient alternative to traditional solid FE simulations, achieving similar accuracy with reduced computational resources. However, a significant challenge is managing the lack of rigidity at nodes and the prevalence of low aspect ratio beams. While various methodologies have been proposed to address these issues, there is still a gap in the comprehensive evaluation of their limitations. An optimal node penalization methodology is required to expand the limited range of accurately represented lattice behavior. A preliminary study investigates lattice geometries through comparative analysis of solid and beam FE simulations. Built on this, we developed a methodology suitable to linear, dynamics and nonlinear beam FE simulations, contributing to enhanced computational speed and accuracy. Several lattice structures were printed using material jetting and quasi-static compressive tests were conducted to validate the methodology’s accuracy. The numerical results reveal a good accuracy between the proposed beam FE methodology and the experimental data, offering a better alternative to conventional FEM for energy absorption in terms of computing time.

增材制造正在彻底改变结构设计，晶格结构因其卓越的机械性能而日益突出。然而，使用有限元法（FEM）快速、准确地模拟这些结构仍然具有挑战性。最近的研究表明，有限元法中的梁元素模拟是传统实体有限元模拟的一种更有效的替代方法，它能以更少的计算资源实现类似的精度。然而，一个重大的挑战是如何处理节点刚性不足和低纵横比梁的普遍存在。虽然已经提出了各种方法来解决这些问题，但在全面评估这些方法的局限性方面仍存在差距。需要一种最佳节点惩罚方法来扩大精确表示晶格行为的有限范围。一项初步研究通过对实体和梁的 FE 仿真进行比较分析，对晶格几何进行了研究。在此基础上，我们开发了一种适用于线性、动力学和非线性梁 FE 仿真的方法，有助于提高计算速度和精度。我们使用材料喷射打印了几种晶格结构，并进行了准静态压缩试验，以验证该方法的准确性。数值结果表明，所提出的梁有限元方法与实验数据之间具有良好的准确性，在计算时间方面，可以更好地替代传统的能量吸收有限元方法。

The oxidation-induced self-healing of cracks is an attractive function for the application of ceramics in high-temperature structural components requiring high reliability. To further optimize materials or components for practical applications, the development of numerical simulation techniques is of importance. In this study, we examined crack growth, crack-gap-filling by oxide, and re-cracking behaviors in chevron-notched specimens under various load and temperature conditions by adopting a finite element analysis (FEA) approach incorporating a damage-healing constitutive model based on fracture mechanics and oxidation kinetics. Furthermore, by implementing the mechanical properties and oxidation kinetic parameters of reported self-healing ceramics composites into the FEA, we examined the effects of the composition and composite structure on the cracking and healing behaviors. Crack-gap-filling simulations suggested that the damage variables gradually decreased from the crack tip, and the minimum healing time was determined by the time required for the complete filling of the element at the crack mouth with the largest crack opening width. Furthermore, the recovery of the stiffness and strength could be successfully reproduced after complete healing with a reasonable healing temperature and time. The proposed FEA approach could also contribute to estimating the minimum healing time required at various temperatures to heal a given damage for various composites.

氧化引起的裂纹自愈合是陶瓷在要求高可靠性的高温结构部件中应用的一项极具吸引力的功能。为了进一步优化材料或部件的实际应用，数值模拟技术的发展具有重要意义。在本研究中，我们采用有限元分析（FEA）方法，结合基于断裂力学和氧化动力学的损伤愈合构成模型，研究了在不同载荷和温度条件下，楔形缺口试样的裂纹生长、氧化物填充裂纹间隙和再开裂行为。此外，通过将已报道的自愈合陶瓷复合材料的机械性能和氧化动力学参数应用到有限元分析中，我们研究了成分和复合材料结构对开裂和愈合行为的影响。裂缝间隙填充模拟表明，损伤变量从裂缝尖端逐渐减小，最小愈合时间由裂缝开口宽度最大的裂缝口元素完全填充所需的时间决定。此外，在合理的愈合温度和时间下，完全愈合后的刚度和强度恢复也能成功再现。所提出的有限元分析方法还有助于估算各种复合材料在不同温度下愈合特定损伤所需的最短愈合时间。

A thirteen-node octahedral three-dimensional lattice-spring model based on the sapphire crystal structure is established by applying the parameter mapping theory, and the finite element stiffness matrix is mapped into the linear spring stiffness coefficients of the lattice-spring model according to the parameter mapping method, so that the selection of the spring stiffness coefficients has a strict mathematical derivation. The elastic–plastic potential function that unifies the elastic–plastic characteristics of the material and the fracture energy is established. The lattice-spring model is tested by three algorithms, including longitudinal wave velocity, three-dimensional crack extension path under dynamic indentation, and impact compression deformation and lattice size sensitivity test, and the test results show that the established three-dimensional lattice-spring model has a high computational accuracy. The correctness of the calculation of the lattice-spring model is verified by comparing the calculation of the evolution process of spherical impact damage on the edge of sapphire under different crystal directions with the experiment.

Elastic wave propagation in periodic stress-driven nonlocal Timoshenko beams 周期应力驱动非局部季莫申科梁中的弹性波传播

Nonlocal theories are well established to model statics and dynamics of small-size structures. Recent studies investigated elastic wave propagation in nonlocal beams and attention focused on periodic nonlocal beams, either endowed with resonators or resting on supports, for relevant applications at small scale. In this context, this work proposes a stress-driven nonlocal Timoshenko beam formulation and develops an original and comprehensive analytical/computational framework for wave propagation analysis in bare and periodic beams.

The framework addresses infinite and finite beams. First, exact analytical expressions are derived for the dispersion curves of the bare beam, which provide full insight into the effects of nonlocality. Second, an exact Plane Wave Expansion method is devised for periodic beams, either equipped with mass-spring resonators or resting on elastic supports; both

ω (q)

and

q (ω)

dispersion curves are derived in this work, where

ω

is the frequency and

q

is the wave number. Third, an approximate homogenization approach is formulated to estimate opening frequencies and sizes of band gaps induced by mass-spring resonators. Finally, a two-field finite element method is proposed to calculate the transmittance of finite periodic beams.

Numerical applications investigate the dispersion diagram of bare and periodic beams for different internal lengths of the stress-driven nonlocal model. Remarkably, results for finite periodic beams validate the predictions from wave propagation analysis of corresponding infinite ones. Moreover, parametric analyses show the capability of the stress-driven nonlocal model in capturing typical small-size effects.

非局部理论在模拟小尺寸结构的静力学和动力学方面已得到广泛应用。最近的研究调查了非局部梁中的弹性波传播，并将注意力集中在周期性非局部梁上，这些梁要么带有谐振器，要么位于支撑物上，可用于小尺度的相关应用。在此背景下，本研究提出了应力驱动的非局部季莫申科梁公式，并为裸梁和周期梁中的波传播分析开发了一个原创性的综合分析/计算框架。首先，推导出裸梁频散曲线的精确分析表达式，从而全面了解非局部性的影响。其次，针对配备质量弹簧谐振器或位于弹性支撑上的周期梁，设计了精确的平面波展开方法；在这项工作中，ω(q) 和 q(ω) 扩散曲线都被推导出来，其中 ω 是频率，q 是波数。第三，提出了一种近似均质化方法来估算质量弹簧谐振器诱导的开口频率和带隙大小。最后，提出了一种双场有限元方法来计算有限周期梁的透射率。数值应用研究了应力驱动非局部模型不同内部长度的裸梁和周期梁的色散图。值得注意的是，有限周期梁的结果验证了相应无限周期梁的波传播分析预测。此外，参数分析表明应力驱动非局部模型能够捕捉典型的小尺寸效应。

Dynamic digital image correlation method for rolling convective contact 滚动对流接触的动态数字图像相关方法

Digital image correlation (DIC) is an increasingly popular and effective non-contact method for measuring full-field displacements and strains of deformable bodies under load. Current DIC methods applied to bodies undergoing large displacements and rotations require a large measurement area for both the reference (i.e., undeformed) image and the deformed images. This can limit the resulting resolution of the displacement and strain fields. To address this issue, we propose a two-stage dynamic DIC method capable of measuring displacements and strains under material convection with high resolution. During the first stage, the reference image is assembled from smaller, high-resolution images of the undeformed object obtained using a spatially-fixed or moving frame. Following capture, each sub-image is rigidly translated and rotated into its appropriate place, thereby producing a full, high-resolution image of the reference body. In stage two, images of the loaded and deformed body, again obtained using a small camera frame with high resolution, are aligned with matching regions of the undeformed composite image using BRISK feature detection before performing DIC. We demonstrate the method on a contact problem whereby an elastomeric roller travels along a rigid surface. In doing so, we obtain fine-resolution measurements of the state of strain of the region of the roller sidewall in contact with the substrate, even as new material convects through the region of interest. We present these measurements as a series of images and videos capturing strain evolution as the roller transitions from static loads to a fully dynamic steady-state, documenting the effectiveness of the method.

数字图像相关（DIC）是一种日益流行和有效的非接触式方法，用于测量负载下可变形体的全场位移和应变。目前应用于大位移和大旋转体的 DIC 方法需要对参考（即未变形）图像和变形图像进行大面积测量。这会限制位移和应变场的分辨率。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种两阶段动态 DIC 方法，能够以高分辨率测量材料对流下的位移和应变。在第一阶段，参考图像由未变形物体的较小、高分辨率图像组合而成，这些图像通过空间固定或移动框架获得。捕捉后，每个子图像都会被刚性平移和旋转到适当的位置，从而生成参考体的完整高分辨率图像。在第二阶段，再次使用高分辨率的小型相机帧获取加载和变形体的图像，在执行 DIC 之前，使用 BRISK 特征检测将其与未变形复合图像的匹配区域对齐。我们在弹性辊子沿刚性表面移动的接触问题上演示了该方法。在此过程中，我们获得了辊筒侧壁与基体接触区域应变状态的精细分辨率测量值，甚至在新材料通过相关区域对流时也是如此。我们将这些测量结果以一系列图像和视频的形式呈现，捕捉滚筒从静态负载过渡到完全动态稳态时的应变演变，记录下该方法的有效性。

This paper develops a versatile and effective force-density framework for the flexible multi-body dynamic analysis of clustered tensegrity structures. In this framework, the force density is selected as the basic variable instead of force, and the clustered tensegrity structure is mathematically described in a vector and matrix form, encompassing topology, geometry, material, and force properties. A non-negative variable is defined as an indicator of the member stress state, and a complementary function is constructed to address the discontinuity issues that arise from the unidirectional axial stiffness of cables. Dynamic formulas are established within this force-density framework, with nodal coordinates selected as generalized parameters and formulations constructed in a matrix form. A complementary framework is established as an alternative for solving the dynamic equations, transforming the isolated steps of Newton’s iteration and cable state judgment (slack or tension) into a unified one, bringing more potential for improving solving efficiency. Numerical simulations are carried out to validate the approach, demonstrating that it effectively reveals the dynamic oscillation, tension changes, and cable slack behavior of clustered tensegrity structures during shape control. Comparative studies highlight the advantage of computational efficiency. The method proposed in this paper provides a robust mathematical model for studying clustered tensegrity structures, particularly regarding the shape control of deployable, active, and intelligent structures, aiding in understanding dynamic oscillation, tension changes, and cable slack behavior during their deformation. The methods can also be applied to cable net structures and other prestressed pin-jointed systems.

本文开发了一种多功能且有效的力密度框架，用于对集束张弦结构进行灵活的多体动力学分析。在这一框架中，力密度被选为基本变量而不是力，聚类张拉整体结构以矢量和矩阵的形式进行数学描述，包括拓扑、几何、材料和力属性。一个非负变量被定义为构件应力状态的指示器，并构建了一个补充函数，以解决电缆单向轴向刚度引起的不连续性问题。在此力密度框架内建立动态公式，选择节点坐标作为通用参数，并以矩阵形式构建公式。作为求解动态方程的替代方法，建立了一个补充框架，将牛顿迭代和电缆状态判断（松弛或拉伸）的孤立步骤转化为统一步骤，为提高求解效率带来了更多潜力。为了验证该方法，我们进行了数值模拟，结果表明该方法能有效揭示集群张弦结构在形状控制过程中的动态振荡、张力变化和拉索松弛行为。对比研究凸显了计算效率的优势。本文提出的方法为研究簇状张弦结构，特别是可部署、主动和智能结构的形状控制提供了一个稳健的数学模型，有助于理解其变形过程中的动态振荡、张力变化和缆索松弛行为。这些方法还可应用于索网结构和其他预应力销钉连接系统。

The fragmentation-reconstitution (FR) metamaterial has recently been shown to be a suitable candidate for producing Poisson’s ratio discontinuity at the original state. A new FR metamaterial is introduced herein that additionally permits sign-switching of Poisson’s ratio upon stress reversal along one axis. This was achieved by the use of rotating rhombi in which every rhombus can be further fragmented into six sub-units. The latter consists of two non-rotating smaller rhombi and four rotating isosceles triangles. While results show that the metamaterial exhibits sign-switching of Poisson’s ratio upon stress reversal along one axis due to differing mechanism, this is not so for loading in the other on-axis direction due to the dimension being maximum in that direction. Instead, there are two compression pathways which can lead to either fragmentation or reconstitution modes of deformation. The predisposition for each pathway is proposed by means of charge attachments. The uniqueness of this metamaterial avails its use for applications that are not attainable by other materials and metamaterials.

最近的研究表明，碎裂-重构（FR）超材料是在原始状态下产生泊松比不连续的合适候选材料。本文介绍了一种新的碎裂-重构超材料，它还允许在沿一条轴线发生应力反转时实现泊松比的符号转换。这是通过使用旋转菱形来实现的，其中每个菱形可进一步分割成六个子单元。后者由两个不旋转的较小菱形和四个旋转的等腰三角形组成。结果表明，由于机制不同，超材料在沿一条轴线发生应力反转时，泊松比会发生符号转换，但在沿另一条轴线方向加载时，由于该方向的尺寸最大，泊松比却不会发生符号转换。相反，有两种压缩途径可导致破碎或重组变形模式。每种途径的倾向性都是通过电荷附着物提出的。这种超材料的独特性使其可以应用于其他材料和超材料无法实现的领域。

There has been an increasing interest among the material research community in the pursuit of enhancing the designability of mechanical properties. The existing approaches usually resorted to sophisticated algorithms (such as machine learning) for the reverse design of materials with specific properties. Different from these existing approaches, here we propose a new approach to create lattice metamaterials with continuously controllable mechanical properties by continuously adjusting the geometric parameters of a unique cell topology originated from the projection of four-dimensional hypercubes. The cells contain an inner region and an outer region, each with different deformation characteristics. For example, the inner region is a stretching-dominated simple cubic (SC) unit cell, while the outer region is a bending-dominated body-centered cubic (BCC) unit cell. Specifically, both stiffness and strength isotropy can be simultaneously realized. The proposed lattice metamaterial exhibits intriguing feature of dual stress plateaus. These plateaus can be effectively controlled by adjusting the geometric parameters of inner and outer regions, which enables these lattice metamaterials to hold promising application prospects in the energy absorption scenarios, such as vehicle and pedestrian protection. Such lattice metamaterial design can be used to realize the gradient distribution of mechanical properties through continuous transition of cell topology without introduction of inefficient interfaces, providing a new approach for the design of heterogeneous metamaterials used in the scenarios involving non-uniform stress distribution.

材料研究界对提高机械性能的可设计性越来越感兴趣。现有的方法通常采用复杂的算法（如机器学习）来反向设计具有特定性能的材料。与这些现有方法不同，我们在此提出了一种新方法，通过不断调整源自四维超立方体投影的独特单元拓扑的几何参数，来创建具有连续可控机械特性的晶格超材料。晶胞包含内部区域和外部区域，每个区域具有不同的变形特性。例如，内部区域是以拉伸为主的简单立方（SC）单元格，而外部区域则是以弯曲为主的体心立方（BCC）单元格。具体来说，可以同时实现刚度和强度的各向同性。所提出的晶格超材料具有引人入胜的双应力高原特性。通过调整内部和外部区域的几何参数，可以有效控制这些高原，从而使这些晶格超材料在能量吸收场景（如车辆和行人保护）中具有广阔的应用前景。这种晶格超材料设计可通过单元拓扑结构的连续转换实现力学性能的梯度分布，而不会引入低效界面，为涉及非均匀应力分布的异质超材料设计提供了一种新方法。

Under cyclic loads, superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit stress–strain responses featured by functional fatigue, i.e., degradation of superelasticity and accumulation of irrecoverable deformation as cycling number increases, together with an asymmetry between tensile and compressive responses. Comprehensive understanding and modeling of these material complexities are crucial for the design and analysis of various superelastic SMA structures in practical applications. This work has developed a novel constitutive model based on irreversible thermodynamics to account for functional fatigue with tension–compression asymmetry. A potential function, defined as a weighted sum of two potentials that are calibrated against the tensile and compressive responses respectively, is employed to generate the asymmetric responses, and functional fatigue is represented by degradation of superelastic properties and growth of plastic strain as martensitic transformation accumulates. The model is adopted in numerical simulations for superelastic SMA tubes under cyclic lateral compression, which is experimentally investigated as a model problem. The agreement between simulations and experiments shows the validity and effectiveness of this constitutive modeling. Through additional finite element simulations incorporating this model, the effects of tension–compression asymmetry under cycling and diameter-to-thickness ratio of the tubular geometry upon mechanical responses of laterally compressed SMA tubes are also unveiled.

在循环载荷作用下，超弹性形状记忆合金（SMA）表现出以功能疲劳为特征的应力-应变响应，即随着循环次数的增加，超弹性下降，不可恢复的变形累积，以及拉伸和压缩响应之间的不对称。对这些材料复杂性的全面理解和建模对于设计和分析实际应用中的各种超弹性 SMA 结构至关重要。这项研究基于不可逆热力学开发了一种新的构成模型，用于解释具有拉伸-压缩不对称的功能疲劳。该模型采用了一个电位函数（定义为两个电位的加权和，分别针对拉伸和压缩响应进行校准）来生成非对称响应，并通过超弹性性能的退化和马氏体转变累积时塑性应变的增长来表示功能疲劳。该模型用于循环横向压缩条件下超弹性 SMA 管的数值模拟，并作为模型问题进行了实验研究。模拟与实验之间的一致性表明了该构成模型的有效性。通过结合该模型的额外有限元模拟，还揭示了循环下拉伸-压缩不对称以及管材几何形状的直径-厚度比对横向压缩 SMA 管机械响应的影响。
