Abstract Different numerical schemes are introduced to formulate and solve nonlinear vibration analysis of elastically supported multilayer composite plate problems. The type of elastic foundation is Winkler - Pasternak foundation model. The governing equations are formulated according to a first order transverse shear theory. Examined schemes are based on polynomial, sinc, discrete singular convolution differential quadrature (DSCDQ) methods. These schemes are appointed to reduce the problem to nonlinear Eigen-value problem. The reduced system is solved iteratively. Numerical analysis is performed to explore influence of different computational characteristics on convergence and efficiency of the obtained results. Comprehensive numerical results validate the solutions by comparison with those obtained by the exact and numerical ones. Moreover, a parametric study is introduced to investigate the influence of supporting conditions, foundation parameters, elastic and geometric characteristics of the vibrated plate, on natural frequencies and mode shapes. The obtained results exhibit that the (DSCDQM) is an accurate efficient method in the dynamic analysis of discontinuity plates resting on nonlinear elastic foundation.

Abstract Multi-fidelity models have exploded in popularity as they promise to circumvent the computational complexity of a high-fidelity model without sacrificing accuracy. In this paper, we demonstrate the process of building a multi-fidelity model and illustrate its advantage through an uncertainty quantification study using the beam vibration problem. A multi-fidelity co-kriging model is built with data from low- and high-fidelity models, which are finite element models with coarse and fine discretization, respectively. The co-kriging model’s predictive capabilities are excellent, achieving accuracy within 1% of the high-fidelity model while providing 98% computational savings over the high-fidelity model in the uncertainty quantification study.

Abstract The current paper explores the flow of dusty nanoliquid over a rotating and stretchable disk with non-uniform heat sink/source. Further, we have done a comparative study on Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT)-water and multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)-water based dusty fluid flows. By means of apt similarity variables, the governing equations are converted to set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then they are numerically tackled using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg’s fourth fifth order (RKF45) method by adopting shooting technique. The influence of non-dimensional parameters on the heat transfer fields are incorporated and extensively discussed by means of appropriate graphs. Further, the reduced shear stresses at the disk in the tangential direction, in the radial direction and the heat transference rates of the fluid and particles are deliberated graphically. Results reveal that, the escalating values of space and temperature dependent heat source/sink parameters improves the heat transference of both liquids. The SWCNT-water based fluid shows improved shear stress in tangential and radial direction when compared to MWCNT-water based fluid for both the phases. The SWCNT-water based fluid shows enhanced heat transfer rate than MWCNT-water based fluid for both fluid and dust phases.

Abstract 3D braided composite has significant attractiveness compared to the classical composite, such as better in-plane mechanical properties, strength in the thickness directions, damage tolerance, anti-delamination capability, etc. In the present work, a new shear deformation theory with 12 degrees of freedom per node is implemented in the framework of the 3D finite element formulation for the free vibration analysis of 3D braided pre-twisted conical shells under rotation. For moderate rotational speeds, the Coriolis effect is neglected. The equivalent material properties of the 3D braided rotating conical shells are computed by bridging models base on a volume averaging method (VAM).

Abstract In this work, we propose to replace the conventional flat stainless steel gasket in flanged bolted joints used in seawater piping with an O-ring polymer gasket to provide a leak-proof joint under bolt preload. Modeled as hyperelastic material, the polymer gasket undergoes large deformation when sandwiched between the pipe flanges. To alleviate the commonly encountered problems due to element distortion, we use a variant of the smoothed finite element, the SFEM within Abaqus standard to simulate the flanged bolted joint. A systematic study is performed to arrive at an acceptable design for leak-proof flanged bolted joints.

Abstract Numerical modeling of the thermo-elastic fracture using a hybrid phase-field method is presented. The model’s capability to simulate complex thermo-elastic crack propagation paths under the temperature and mechanical loads’ influence is demonstrated through a few example problems. The evolution of complex crack patterns in a ceramic plate subjected to quenching are simulated. Further, the behavior of functionally graded specimens with a spatial variation of material properties when subjected to thermal shock is investigated. A staggered solution scheme is used to solve the coupled system of multi-field partial differential equations using an open-source finite element software FEniCS.

Abstract This work aims to discuss a proposed solution for wave equations that utilize discretization by means of the finite difference method, weighted by a parameter η, with sweeping done according to the time-stepping method. The multigrid method is employed to speed up the convergence in obtaining the solution of the system of equations resulting from the discretization. To validate the proposed model, the discretization errors, effective and apparent orders, convergence factor, orders of complexity, and the computational time were assessed. A comparison between the singlegrid and multigrid methods was carried out in order to determine the most advantageous one.

Abstract The modified decomposition method is applied to analyze the transverse vibrations of tapered rotating beams incorporating both axial centrifugal stiffening and flexible end constraints. Unlike prior analyses relying upon a power series expansion about the left end constraint, we instead expand the solution for the transverse deflection about the interval midpoint, which has significant advantages including an increased rate of convergence and readily adaptation to the Robin-type boundary conditions. The modified decomposition method facilitates systematic solution of the mathematical model including parametric simulations where the boundary conditions can be varied without resolving the original equation.

Abstract The current article explores the impact of magnetic effect on the Casson nanoliquid flow over a curved stretching sheet with the influence of chemical reaction. Further, the heat and mass transference characteristics are analyzed by means of Brownian motion, exponential heat source and thermophoresis effects. Governing equations of the described flow problem are transformed into ordinary differential equations by means of similarity variables. These reduced equations are numerically solved by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth (RKF 45) order scheme with shooting method. Results reveal that, the escalating values of curvature parameter improves the velocity gradient whereas, converse trend is detected in thermal gradient.
