This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation into the axial performance of six Steel and Concrete Composite Curved Panels (SCCCPs) designed as modular components for a self-erecting wind turbine tower. Both compressive and tensile behaviors were evaluated on scaled specimens, which serve as representative modules of the Self-Erecting Tower (SeT) system. Compression tests revealed that failure was primarily governed by global buckling of the steel frame coupled with concrete crushing, while tensile tests indicated that failure predominantly occurred at the bolted steel connections. High-resolution Digital Image Correlation (DIC) was employed to monitor crack initiation, propagation, and strain distribution across the SCCCPs, additionally providing a detailed insight into damage mechanisms. A finite element model was developed using ABAQUS and calibrated against the experimental results. Following, a Geometrically and Materially Nonlinear Analysis with Imperfections (GMNIA) was performed, accurately capturing both global and local failure modes. The numerically predicted load-displacement responses showed close alignment with the experimental observations. Additionally, a sensitivity study on initial geometric imperfections highlighted their critical impact on axial capacity and panel stability. The modeling approach incorporated material behavior and design parameters consistent with Eurocode provisions, offering a framework that supports future design optimization within standardized European practice. The ultimate resistance of SCCCPs was also calculated based on the design provisions of AISC, CECS, and EC4. Overall, the results validate the structural feasibility and mechanical reliability of the proposed modular concept, highlighting its potential for application in advanced wind turbine tower systems.
本文对自立式风力发电塔架的六块钢筋混凝土复合弯曲板(scccp)的轴向性能进行了试验和数值研究。以自立塔(SeT)体系为代表,对其压缩性能和拉伸性能进行了评价。压缩试验表明,破坏主要是由钢框架的整体屈曲和混凝土破碎引起的,而拉伸试验表明,破坏主要发生在螺栓连接的钢连接处。采用高分辨率数字图像相关(DIC)来监测scccp的裂纹萌生、扩展和应变分布,此外还提供了对损伤机制的详细了解。利用ABAQUS建立了有限元模型,并根据实验结果进行了校正。随后,进行了几何和材料非线性缺陷分析(GMNIA),准确捕获了全局和局部失效模式。数值预测的荷载-位移响应与实验结果吻合较好。此外,对初始几何缺陷的敏感性研究强调了它们对轴向能力和面板稳定性的关键影响。建模方法结合了符合欧洲规范规定的材料性能和设计参数,提供了一个支持标准化欧洲实践中未来设计优化的框架。根据AISC、CECS和EC4的设计规定计算scccp的极限阻力。总体而言,结果验证了所提出的模块化概念的结构可行性和机械可靠性,突出了其在先进风力发电塔架系统中的应用潜力。

Magneto-elastic analysis of thin-walled superconducting solenoids 薄壁超导螺线管的磁弹性分析
IF 6.6 1区 工程技术 Q1 ENGINEERING, CIVIL Pub Date : 2026-04-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.tws.2026.114619

The design of thin-walled superconducting solenoids for particle physics applications requires the consideration of magnet deformations due to self-induced magnetic forces. We present a reduced-order model for these bidirectional magneto-elastic interactions that exploits the inherent axisymmetry of the problem. The developed simulation code allows for the efficient calculation of stresses and deformations in thin-walled solenoids, as well as the magnetic field map of the deformed solenoid.
The simulation uses two coupled solvers: one for the structural and one for the electromagnetic domain. Magnetic field and Lorentz forces are calculated by a dedicated Biot–Savart solver. The structural solver is based on the Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) for shells of revolution. The coupled problem is solved iteratively by the solvers exchanging updated magnet forces and displacements for increasing current increments. This approach captures geometric non-linearities as well as the non-linear redistribution of magnetic forces due to deformations. The non-linear simulation capabilities are demonstrated by exemplary calculations of the BESS-Polar solenoid. We find deviations up to ± 1% in magnetic field caused by the solenoid’s deformations. Geometric non-linearity is found to have only a minor effect and may thus be neglected for the calculation of magnet deformations. In parametric studies, the magneto-elastic solver is shown to be an order of magnitude faster than commercial finite element solvers. The proven computational efficiency makes the tool well-suited for the preliminary structural design of superconducting solenoids and for the estimation of magneto-elastic effects in future particle physics experiments like AMS-100.
用于粒子物理应用的薄壁超导螺线管的设计需要考虑由于自感磁力引起的磁体变形。我们提出了一个双向磁弹性相互作用的降阶模型,利用了问题固有的轴对称。开发的仿真代码允许有效地计算薄壁螺线管的应力和变形,以及变形螺线管的磁场图。仿真使用两个耦合求解器:一个用于结构域,一个用于电磁域。磁场和洛伦兹力由专用的毕奥-萨瓦求解器计算。结构求解基于传递矩阵法(TMM)求解旋转壳。求解器通过交换磁体力和位移来增加电流增量来迭代求解耦合问题。这种方法捕获几何非线性以及由于变形引起的磁力的非线性再分布。非线性仿真能力通过BESS-Polar螺线管的示例计算证明。我们发现由螺线管变形引起的磁场偏差高达±1%。几何非线性的影响很小,因此在计算磁体变形时可以忽略不计。在参数化研究中,磁弹性求解器比商用有限元求解器快一个数量级。经过验证的计算效率使该工具非常适合超导螺线管的初步结构设计以及未来粒子物理实验(如AMS-100)中磁弹性效应的估计。

To fully exploit the integrated structural and thermal advantages of precast concrete sandwich insulation panel, this paper proposes a new thin-walled ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) composite sandwich insulated wall panel (UCSP). The inner and outer wythes are each made of 20 mm thick UHPC, and anchorage-reinforced and connection-reinforced zones are arranged within the wythes. Experimental studies were conducted on the in-plane shear response and flexural response of UCSPs, comparing the effects of different inter-wythe connection schemes on panel performance. The results show that the flexural failure modes of UCSPs can be categorized into wythe failure and connection-system failure. When the peak shear load of the connection system increased by 29%, the degree of composite action improved by 15% in the elastic stage and 21% in the ultimate stage. For UCSPs with wythe through ribs, their flexural performance was close to that of a sandwich panel under the fully composite limit state. As the connection spacing was reduced by 50%, the flexural stiffness, peak load, and ductility of the UCSP increased by at least 31%, 25%, and 15%, respectively. Although UCSP reduced its self-weight by approximately 60% compared to conventional concrete sandwich panels, it could still withstand a uniformly distributed load of at least 5.4 kN/m² before cracking and exhibited deformation greater than 1/150 of its span at failure, demonstrating its excellent flexural performance. Finally, theoretical calculation models for the flexural bearing capacity and deformation of UCSP were established and verified against the test results. Overall, UCSP overcome the application difficulties of PCSPs in both nonstructural and structural roles.
为了充分发挥预制混凝土夹芯保温墙板的综合结构和热工优势,本文提出了一种新型薄壁高性能混凝土(UHPC)复合夹芯保温墙板(UCSP)。内外包体均由20mm厚的超高强度混凝土制成,包体内部设有锚固加固区和连接加固区。试验研究了ucsp的面内剪切响应和弯曲响应,比较了不同的双向连接方式对面板性能的影响。结果表明:ucsp的弯曲破坏模式可分为轴向破坏和连接系统破坏。当连接体系峰值剪切荷载增加29%时,弹性阶段复合作用程度提高15%,极限阶段复合作用程度提高21%。在完全复合材料极限状态下,带wythe through肋的ucsp的抗弯性能接近夹层板。当连接间距减小50%时,UCSP的抗弯刚度、峰值载荷和延性分别提高了至少31%、25%和15%。尽管与传统的混凝土夹芯板相比,UCSP的自重减少了约60%,但在开裂之前,它仍然可以承受至少5.4 kN/m²的均匀分布荷载,并且在破坏时显示出大于其跨度的1/150的变形,显示出优异的抗弯性能。最后,建立了UCSP抗弯承载力和变形的理论计算模型,并与试验结果进行了验证。总的来说,UCSP克服了pcsp在非结构和结构角色中的应用困难。

Bionic design and stability analysis of double-sided different curvature corrugated shells 双面不同曲率波纹壳的仿生设计及稳定性分析
IF 6.6 1区 工程技术 Q1 ENGINEERING, CIVIL Pub Date : 2026-04-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.tws.2026.114586

This study introduces a double-sided different curvature (DSDC) corrugated shell inspired by the turritella bacillum shell, characterized by the dual effect of local thickness and local curvature on the cylindrical shell. Furthermore, the initial topological optimization operation confirmed the rationality of this design. Corrugated shells can be used for pressure structures of important equipment such as nuclear submarines and Deep-sea space station. This paper establishes a constitutive model for the corrugated shell element, provides three specific examples, and calculates each stiffness term using theoretical methods. The equivalent stiffness was calculated and compared with the finite element analysis (FEA) results. A series of corrugated shells with the same volume and weight were constructed. By combining stability theory, FEA and hydrostatic pressure test, the mechanical behavior of the DSDC corrugated shells was revealed. The results show that the design of the DSDC corrugated shell is correct. The corrugation peaks provide overall support, and the large deformation of the corrugation troughs helps to improve the buckling load. Therefore, DSDC can effectively overcome the cracking of corrugated shells during the post-buckling process, as can be proven by comparison with existing experimental studies. This research improves the stability of corrugated shells and optimizes their failure modes, providing a new approach for innovative design of corrugated shells.
本研究引入了一种受turritella bacillus壳体启发的双面不同曲率(DSDC)波纹壳,其特征是局部厚度和局部曲率对圆柱壳的双重影响。初步的拓扑优化运行验证了该设计的合理性。波纹壳可用于核潜艇、深海空间站等重要设备的承压结构。本文建立了波纹壳单元的本构模型,给出了三个具体算例,并用理论方法计算了各刚度项。计算了等效刚度,并与有限元分析结果进行了比较。构造了一系列具有相同体积和重量的波纹壳。通过稳定性理论、有限元分析和静水压力试验相结合,揭示了DSDC波纹壳的力学性能。结果表明,DSDC波纹壳的设计是正确的。波纹峰提供整体支撑,波纹槽的大变形有助于提高屈曲载荷。因此,DSDC可以有效地克服波纹壳后屈曲过程中的开裂,与已有实验研究的对比可以证明这一点。该研究提高了波纹壳的稳定性,优化了波纹壳的破坏模式,为波纹壳的创新设计提供了新的途径。

This paper presents a vibro-acoustic analysis and parameter optimization method for a submerged Functionally Graded Material (FGM) shell with floating raft isolation system. The Corrugated Sandwich (CS) structure is employed for the raft to make full use of its light weight and high stiffness. A semi-analytical method of high accuracy and efficiency is developed for the vibro-acoustic analysis. In the proposed method, deformations of the FGM hull are characterized via the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), acoustic pressure in the fluid field is formulated using Helmholtz equations, and bidirectional fluid-structure coupling is realized through interface displacement continuity conditions and work terms from acoustic pressure. The 3D coupling problem is analytically reduced to 2D problem by Fourier series expansion of displacement and pressure components, while the proposed modified variational principles allows flexible basis functions to achieve accurate numerical solutions. The semi-analytical method is then integrated with a genetic evolutionary algorithm for multi-objective optimization of the key material parameters of the coupled system. This algorithm exhibits fast convergence speed (basically converging after 20 iterations) and the capability of achieving both global and local optimization, thus overcoming the local optimum limitation of traditional gradient-based methods. The influences of the composite materials on vibro-acoustic control using floating raft system are examined. Optimal structural parameters of the CS raft are then determined, providing theoretical support and optimization method for the design of low-vibration and quiet coupled composite shells.

Steel bridges are extensively utilized due to their superior mechanical properties and consistency with sustainable development objectives. However, the challenges of vibration and structure-borne noise induced by moving vehicle loads remain unresolved. This study presents a vibration mitigation concept for steel bridges based on the acoustic black hole (ABH) theory, in which variable-thickness U-rib stiffened panels are treated as ABH structures. Considering the periodic arrangement of U-ribs, the finite element method is employed to examine variations in vibration bandgap characteristics and attenuation performance across different frequency ranges. The results demonstrate that, compared to equivalent uniform-thickness U-rib panels of identical mass and rib height, the ABH-U rib stiffened panels broaden the overall bandgap width and modify the bandgap distribution. The ABH-U plates exhibit significant vibration reduction both within and beyond the band gaps. Parametric analysis indicates that tuning the structural parameters of ABH-U plates enables customized vibration control within specific frequency ranges. Among these parameters, the maximum thickness of the variable-thickness U-rib exerts a strong effect on vibration suppression. A case study on a practical steel box-girder segment shows that incorporating ABH-U ribs into the steel box girder achieves measurable vibration reduction across both bandgap and full frequency ranges, with particularly remarkable performance in controlling transverse vibrations. Proper design of U-rib parameters ensures more desirable vibroacoustic performance within the targeted frequency bands.
钢结构桥梁因其优越的力学性能和符合可持续发展目标而得到广泛应用。然而,由移动车辆荷载引起的振动和结构噪声的挑战仍然没有得到解决。本文提出了一种基于声黑洞理论的钢桥减振概念,将变厚u肋加筋板视为声黑洞结构。考虑u形肋的周期性排列,采用有限元方法研究了不同频率范围内振动带隙特性和衰减性能的变化。结果表明:与同等质量、同等肋高的等厚u肋板相比,ABH-U肋加筋板能提高带隙宽度,改变带隙分布;ABH-U板在带隙内外均表现出显著的减振效果。参数分析表明,调整ABH-U板的结构参数可以在特定频率范围内实现定制振动控制。其中变厚u型肋的最大厚度对减振效果较好。实际钢箱梁段的实例研究表明,在钢箱梁段中加入ABH-U肋,在带隙和全频率范围内均可实现可测量的减振,特别是在控制横向振动方面效果显著。合理设计u形肋参数可确保在目标频带内获得更理想的振声性能。

Proper design of U-rib parameters ensures more desirable vibroacoustic performance within the targeted frequency bands.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49435,"journal":{"name":"Thin-Walled Structures","volume":"222 ","pages":"Article 114548"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146039001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acoustic energy harvesting offers a promising pathway towards self-powering microelectronic devices, yet current solutions are inherently limited by low power output and restricted operational bandwidth. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a point-defect acoustic metamaterial architecture that synergistically integrates a spiral-neck Helmholtz resonance (HR) with the trampoline effect. The core innovations involve incorporating a spiral neck design within the HR to extend the acoustic path, substantially lowering the resonant frequency for efficient low-frequency acoustic energy capture. Additionally, strategically patterned perforations are introduced in the aluminum substrate surrounding the piezoelectric element to induce a trampoline effect, significantly enhancing substrate compliance and thereby boosting resonance response and energy harvesting efficiency. Finite element method simulations demonstrate that the proposed structure achieves high peak power outputs and voltages at both localized and structural resonance frequencies, yielding superior power densities compared to conventional designs. Parametric studies confirm that the perforations substantially enhance acoustic energy harvesting efficiency. The structure exhibits exceptional environmental robustness, maintaining high performance across a wide range of incident sound pressures. Comparative analysis reveals significant advantages over state-of-the-art designs in output power, voltage, and power density. Experimental validation of transmission loss and acoustic energy harvesting performance shows excellent agreement with simulations, confirming the design efficacy. This metamaterial offers an efficient and sustainable powering strategy for microelectronic devices like sensors and monitors.
声学能量收集为自供电微电子设备提供了一条很有前途的途径,但目前的解决方案本身就受到低功率输出和有限的操作带宽的限制。为了克服这些限制,我们引入了一种点缺陷声学超材料结构,该结构将螺旋颈亥姆霍兹共振(HR)与蹦床效应协同集成。核心创新包括在HR内整合螺旋颈设计,以延长声路径,大大降低谐振频率,从而有效地捕获低频声能。此外,在压电元件周围的铝衬底上引入有策略图案的穿孔,以诱导蹦床效应,显著增强衬底顺应性,从而提高共振响应和能量收集效率。有限元模拟表明,该结构在局部共振频率和结构共振频率下均可实现峰值功率输出和电压,与传统设计相比,具有优越的功率密度。参数研究证实,射孔大大提高了声能收集效率。该结构表现出优异的环境稳健性,在大范围的入射声压下保持高性能。对比分析揭示了在输出功率、电压和功率密度方面优于最先进设计的显著优势。传输损耗和声能量收集性能的实验验证与仿真结果吻合良好,验证了设计的有效性。这种超材料为传感器和监视器等微电子设备提供了一种高效和可持续的供电策略。

Temperature-dependent mechanical properties and crashworthiness of foam-filled spiral tube 泡沫填充螺旋管的温度相关力学性能和耐撞性

Thin-walled structures are widely employed in engineering protection at diverse environmental temperatures because of their superior energy-absorption capacity. This study developed a foam-filled spiral tube (FFST) to further improve the crashworthiness of thin-walled structures and systematically investigated its temperature-dependent mechanical behavior and energy-absorption characteristics. A combined experimental-numerical approach was adopted: finite-element models based on Voronoi diagrams were validated through quasi-static tests in a temperature chamber (−20 to 45 °C), followed by a parametric analysis. The results indicated that low temperatures increased the brittleness of the foam, leading to cell-wall fracture and lateral shear deformation. As the temperature increased, the deformation mode transitioned to plastic-hinge-dominated buckling, followed by stable layer-by-layer compaction. When the temperature increased from −20 to 45 °C, the specific energy absorption (SEA) decreased by 76.7 %, while the ultimate load-carrying capacity (ULC) decreased by 45.8 %. These findings demonstrate that although elevated temperatures reduce the energy-absorption capacity of the foam, they improve the smoothness of the deformation process and enhance the stability of the energy-absorption performance. For spiral tubes (STs), small amplitudes and long wavelengths induce asymmetric, unstable deformation, whereas increasing the amplitude or reducing the wavelength improves the geometric stability. Elevated temperatures reduce structural strength and SEA, and STs with small corrugation parameters exhibit temperature-sensitive load capacities owing to their potential for thermal instability. Foam filling enhances the SEA but may exacerbate the deformation instability of small-parameter STs at high temperatures. Geometric optimization can offset foam performance degradation and improve crashworthiness. The interaction analysis revealed that at low temperatures, foam protrusions enhanced interlocking, whereas at high temperatures, sliding friction dominated and diminished the energy contribution. Larger amplitudes stabilize axisymmetric crushing but limit foam penetration, whereas longer wavelengths increase the contact area but may aggravate global instability under volumetric expansion. These findings clarify the temperature-dependent deformation mechanisms and foam-tube interactions of the FFST and offer theoretical guidance for the design of temperature-adaptive energy-absorbing structures.
薄壁结构以其优越的吸能能力广泛应用于不同环境温度下的工程防护中。为了进一步提高薄壁结构的耐撞性,本研究开发了一种泡沫填充螺旋管(FFST),并系统地研究了其随温度变化的力学行为和吸能特性。采用实验-数值相结合的方法:基于Voronoi图的有限元模型在温度室(- 20 ~ 45°C)中进行准静态试验验证,然后进行参数分析。结果表明:低温增加了泡沫的脆性,导致泡沫胞壁破裂和侧向剪切变形;随着温度的升高,变形模式转变为以塑性铰为主的屈曲,随后是稳定的逐层压实。当温度从- 20℃升高到45℃时,比能吸收(SEA)下降了76.7%,极限承载能力(ULC)下降了45.8%。结果表明,高温虽然降低了泡沫材料的吸能能力,但提高了泡沫材料变形过程的平整度,增强了泡沫材料吸能性能的稳定性。对于螺旋管(STs),小振幅和长波长会导致不对称、不稳定的变形,而增加振幅或减小波长会改善几何稳定性。高温会降低结构强度和SEA,而波纹参数较小的STs由于其潜在的热不稳定性而表现出对温度敏感的负载能力。泡沫填充增强了SEA,但可能加剧小参数STs在高温下的变形不稳定性。几何优化可以抵消泡沫性能下降,提高耐撞性。相互作用分析表明,在低温下,泡沫突出增强了联锁,而在高温下,滑动摩擦占主导地位,降低了能量贡献。较大的振幅稳定了轴对称破碎,但限制了泡沫渗透,而较长的波长增加了接触面积,但可能加剧体积膨胀下的整体不稳定性。这些发现阐明了FFST的温度依赖变形机制和泡沫管相互作用,为温度自适应吸能结构的设计提供了理论指导。

The durability of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthened steel structures is a critical issue affecting their long-term reliability in practical engineering applications. However, the degradation behavior and durability of CFRP-strengthened circular hollow section (CHS) joints have not been quantified. This study proposed a numerical analysis method for assessing the durability of CFRP strengthened CHS joints based on experiments. First, durability tests in a neutral salt spray environment and tensile failure tests were conducted on the adhesive and CFRP sheets to obtain moisture diffusion parameters and establish mechanical performance formulae. Static tests were conducted on unaged and aged CFRP-reinforced CHS T-joints. Then, FE models of bare and CFRP-reinforced CHS joints were developed. In the models of CFRP-reinforced joints, mechanical property degradation of the CFRP composite layers and the CFRP-to-steel bonding interfaces were considered. FE models of CFRP composite layers and the bonding interface were developed for mass diffusion analysis. A coupled diffusion-mechanical analysis program was proposed to predict the joint’s durability year, which was verified by experimental results. Finally, the effects of interface moisture diffusion coefficient, CFRP length, and number of CFRP layers on the durability year were analyzed. Suggestions were proposed to improve the durability performance of CFRP-reinforced CHS joints. The proposed method provides an effective tool for predicting the long-term performance of CFRP-reinforced CHS joints and supports durability design.

This work describes the development and validation of an innovative shear deformable beam theory and conducts an experimental study designed for the elastic analysis of steel beams suffering from area losses, such as those caused by corrosion. This new theory introduces a kinematic model postulating two distinct rotation angles for cross-sections to accurately account for the complex shear deformations and stiffness reductions observed in damaged sections, which classical theories often fail to predict. The authors validate their proposed finite element formulation against extensive experimental data and three-dimensional finite element analyses (3D FEA), demonstrating that their approach provides structural response predictions—including deflections, and longitudinal normal and transversal shear stresses—with high accuracy and significantly reduced computational effort compared to 3D FEA. The research concludes that area losses, particularly their length, substantially increase beam deflections and stresses, underscoring the need for this improved analytical method.
这项工作描述了一种创新的剪切变形梁理论的发展和验证,并进行了一项实验研究,旨在对遭受面积损失的钢梁进行弹性分析,例如由腐蚀引起的损失。这个新理论引入了一个运动学模型,假设了两个不同的截面旋转角度,以准确地解释在损坏截面中观察到的复杂剪切变形和刚度降低,这是经典理论经常无法预测的。作者根据大量的实验数据和三维有限元分析(3D FEA)验证了他们提出的有限元公式,证明他们的方法提供了结构响应预测-包括挠度,纵向法向和横向剪应力-与3D FEA相比,具有高精度和显着减少的计算工作量。该研究得出结论,面积损失,特别是其长度,大大增加了梁的挠度和应力,强调了这种改进的分析方法的必要性。
