Abstract Fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP) composite materials for ships that are widely used are marine-grade unsaturated polyester resin matrix and combimat fiber, a combination of marine-grade chopped strand mat (CSM) and woven roving (WR) fibers. Although less popular than marine CSM–WR, marine biaxial warp-knitted glass fabrics have the potential to be applied as fiber laminates for ship hull materials. A comparative study of tensile and bending strength between marine CSM–WR composite and marine CSM–biaxial composite had been conducted. All composites met the criteria of the Indonesian Classification Bureau. Specifically, the CSM–biaxial had higher tensile and flexural strength with fewer laminations than the CSM–WR. Laminate type II had the highest average normalized tensile and flexural strength, 186.1 and 319.2 MPa. A layer of biaxial fiberglass had a very significant effect on tensile and flexural strength. Besides its strength, fewer type II laminations can speed up the production process of FRP ship hulls. Furthermore, the CSM–biaxial composite had relatively high normalized flexural strength compared to other references. However, the normalized tensile strength achieved in this study was at an intermediate level compared to other references.

Abstract Concrete shells are widespread in civil engineering constructions. Because of the moldability of concrete, special structures such as domes, bridge caissons, buried or raised reservoirs, and arch dams are built with concrete. In this study, we are particularly interested in the variation of the thickness and the resulting strains during a short-term mechanical loading of a concrete ring in its elastic phase. On the one hand, transverse stresses through the thickness are calculated numerically by implementing a particular family of finite elements (four degrees of freedom per summit node) with a two-dimensional shell model, which accounts for thickness variations and transverse distortions. On the other hand, an experimental device was mounted in order to validate numerical predictions.

Abstract Research on natural convection is exciting in some experimental and numerical cases, especially in rectangular cavities with relatively low heat dissipation and thermal control systems with low cost, reliability, and ease of use. The present study will use the meshless radial basis function method to solve the velocity formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations by varying some nominal Rayleigh numbers of 104, 105, and 106. The numerical accuracy is compared with the previous research. The advantages of the meshless method are that it does not require a structured mesh and does not require inter-nodal connectivity. The results show that the temperature pattern is identical to the previous research. The calculations have been done for three different Rayleigh numbers of 104, 105, and 106 for 151 × 151 nodes. The variations of the Ra number will affect the isothermal, velocity contours, and Nusselt number.

Abstract In this research, flow around two vibrating cylinders in a tandem arrangement is simulated at Reynolds number Re = 200 using the dynamic overset mesh technique in finite volume-based commercial software. This investigation aims to study the combined influences of the spacing between the two identical circular cylinders and their excitation frequency in the flow. The cylinders are excited by a transverse forced vibration in a uniform cross-flow by applying a simple harmonic motion. The gap distance between the vibrating cylinders is chosen to be L/D = 1.5 and 4, and the vibration amplitude is kept constant at A/D = 0.25. The study focuses on three frequency ratios of the cylinders’ excitation frequency to Strouhal shedding frequency of the single stationary cylinder f e/f s = 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2. Simulation results showed that the flow characteristics over the two vibrating circular cylinders differ from that of a single vibrating cylinder. Also, it is observed that the lock-in state (resonance) for the two vibrating cylinders and the vortex wake patterns are highly affected by the gap distance between cylinders and the excitation frequency.

Abstract In this study, four absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF)-based approaches are utilized in order to predict the buckling load of Lee’s frame under concentrated load. The first approach employs the standard two-dimensional shear deformable ANCF beam element based on the general continuum mechanics (GCM). The second approach adopts the standard ANCF beam element modified by the locking alleviation technique known as the strain-split method. The third approach has the standard ANCF beam element with strain energy modified by the enhanced continuum mechanics formulation. The fourth approach utilizes the higher-order ANCF beam element based on the GCM. Two buckling load estimation methods are used, i.e., by tracing the nonlinear equilibrium path of the load–displacement space using the arc-length method and applying the energy criterion, which requires tracking eigenvalues through the dichotomy scheme. Lee’s frame with different boundary conditions including pinned–pinned, fixed-pinned, pinned-fixed, and fixed–fixed are studied. The complex nonlinear responses in the form of snap-through, snap-back, and looping phenomena during nonlinear postbuckling analysis are simulated. The critical buckling loads and buckling mode shapes obtained through the energy criterion-based buckling method are obtained. After the comparison, higher-order beam element is found to be more accurate, stable, and consistent among the studied approaches.

Abstract In this work, the state -space nonlocal strain gradient theory is used for the vibration analysis of magneto thermo piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) nanobeam. An analysis of FGM constituent properties is stated by using the power law relations. The refined higher order beam theory and Hamilton’s principle have been used to obtain the motion equations. Besides, the governing equations of the magneto thermo piezoelectric nanobeam are extracted by developed nonlocal state-space theory. And to solve the wave propagation problems, the analytical wave dispersion method is used. The effect of magnetic potential, temperature gradient, and electric voltage in variant parameters are presented in graph.

Abstract Wind turbines generate clean and renewable energy for the international market. The most important aspect of wind turbine maintenance is reducing failures, downtime, and operating and maintenance expenses. This study aims to detect multiple faults exhibited by wind turbine blades; failures such as cracks (tip crack, mid-span crack, and crack near the root) were observed in the blades at different locations. The research suggests a new approach, incorporating vibration signals and machine learning techniques to identify various failures in wind turbine blades. The technology of ranking features such as ReliefF algorithms, chi-squares, and information gains was adopted to discuss a method framework to diagnose several problems in wind turbine blades, such as cracks in different locations. The k-nearest neighbors (KNNs), support vector machines, and random forests are used to classify data based on measured vibration signals. The eight main time-domain features are calculated from the vibration signals. The proposed methodology was validated using four databases. The results showed good classification accuracy in four databases, with at least three non-conventional features in each database’s top nine features of the three classification techniques. The results also showed that when the ReliefF selection algorithm is applied with the KNN classification algorithm, it generates the highest classification accuracy under all failure conditions, and the value is 97%. Finally, the performance of the proposed classification model is compared with other machine learning classification models, and a promising result is obtained.

Abstract Al-Cu Nanocomposites (NCs) are widely used in industrial applications for their high ductility, light weight, excellent thermal conductivity, and low-cost production. The mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of Metal Matrix NCs (MMNCs) strongly depend on the matrix microstructure and the interface between the matrix and the second phase. The present study relies on Molecular Dynamics (MD) to investigate the effects of temperature on the mechanical properties and elastic and plastic behavior of the Al-Cu NC with single-crystal and polycrystalline matrices. The effects of heating on microstructural defects in the aluminum matrix and the Al/Cu interface were also addressed in the following. It was found that the density of defects such as dislocations and stacking fault areas are much higher in samples with polycrystalline matrices than those with single-crystal ones. Further, by triggering thermally activated mechanisms, increasing the temperature reduces the density of crystal defects. Heating also facilitates atomic migration and compromises the yield strength and the elastic modulus as a result of the increased energy of atoms in the grain boundaries and in the Al-Cu interface. The results showed that the flow stress decreased in all samples by increasing the temperature, making them less resistant to the plastic deformation.

Abstract This paper presents an experimental and numerical analysis of the effect of the geometric parameter on the two-phase flow (white kerosene-water) flow pattern system. The investigation was carried out using three lengths (1, 2 and 3) m of rectangular horizontal smooth channel and three channel heights of (5, 7.5 and 10) cm respectively. The flow conditions for the input water velocity (0.2 m/s) and the input kerosene velocity (0.1 m/s) for both measurements have been investigated. Two-inlet techniques have been employed. Firstly, at the inlet, the kerosene was on top of the bath. Then, second, from the center, the kerosene inlets (water is above and below the kerosene). A numerical verification analysis was introduced using the ANSYS software using the method of volume of fluid (VOF) and mixture multiphase flow modeling coupled with the normal k-ε turbulence schemes. A collection of seven methods of CFD types is explored by running 224 instances. Comparisons were made between numerical and experimental works.

Abstract Recently, the increasing demand for advanced materials around the world led to search on require and optimal materials characteristics. An alloy (Al-Mg-Si) named hindalium was used in this study which made from aluminum recycling (aluminums sandwich panel plates). In addition, powder technology was applied to investigate the effect of adding silicon carbide (SiC) particles on the composite properties that enter in fabricate of disc brake rotors. The main reason to use this technology is a single material cannot meet the demands of an extreme engineering setting that encourage towards necessitating the use of composites. Metal matrix composites are a type of material that has a lot of potential for components and structural applications that require a lot of unique modulus, strength, and durability as well as in the same time being light in weight. The composites materials of metal base with good properties are becoming now widely used in several industrial sectors due to their high mechanical properties and resistant to wear. Al-Mg-Si alloys are a common material category because of their inherent hardness, and corrosion resistance. The properties of hardness, wear rate, and microstructure are the physical and mechanical tests were performing in this study. It is indicated that the modeling with using a Genetic Algorithm is the best solution to choose the samples that have been prepared. According to the results, it was observed that the hardness increased by 14% at 15%SiC content and the wear rate decreased by 17% as comparing with the base alloy used in this study.
