Focused ultrasound (FUS) therapy generates sufficient heat for medical interventions like tumor ablation by concentrating energy at the focal point. The complex viscoelastic properties of biological tissues pose challenges in balancing focusing precision and penetration depth, impacting the safety of surrounding tissues and treatment efficacy. This study develops an acoustic-solid-thermal coupling computational model to elucidate the dynamic mechanical response and energy dissipation mechanisms of soft tissue during FUS thermal therapy using a hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model. Results indicate that the high compressibility and low shear resistance of biological tissues result in a unique shear dissipation mechanism. Energy dissipation efficiency per area is indirectly influenced by load frequency via its effect on the dynamic shear modulus and is directly proportional to load amplitude. Focusing precision, represented by the focal zone width, is inversely controlled by frequency via wavelength. A mathematical model for evaluating temperature rise efficiency is proposed, and an optimal frequency for efficient FUS thermal therapy in brain-like soft materials is identified. This research elucidates the link between viscoelastic tissue behavior and FUS treatment outcomes, offering insights for optimizing FUS applications in various medical fields.

聚焦超声(FUS)疗法通过在焦点处集中能量,产生足够的热量用于肿瘤消融等医疗干预。生物组织具有复杂的粘弹性,这给平衡聚焦精度和穿透深度带来了挑战,影响了周围组织的安全性和治疗效果。本研究建立了声-固-热耦合计算模型,利用超粘弹性构成模型阐明了 FUS 热疗过程中软组织的动态机械响应和能量耗散机制。结果表明,生物组织的高可压缩性和低剪切阻力形成了独特的剪切耗散机制。单位面积的能量耗散效率通过对动态剪切模量的影响而间接受到载荷频率的影响,并与载荷振幅成正比。聚焦精度由聚焦区宽度表示,通过波长与频率成反比。该研究提出了一个评估温升效率的数学模型,并确定了在类脑软质材料中进行高效 FUS 热疗的最佳频率。这项研究阐明了粘弹性组织行为与 FUS 治疗效果之间的联系,为优化 FUS 在各个医疗领域的应用提供了启示。

Magnesium alloy, as a new material for vascular stents, possesses excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. However, the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy stents exhibit relatively inferior performance compared to traditional metal stents with identical structural characteristics. Therefore, improving their mechanical properties is a key issue in the development of biodegradable magnesium alloy stents. In this study, three new stent structures (i.e., stent A, stent B, and stent C) were designed based on the typical structure of biodegradable stents. The changes made included altering the angle and arrangement of the support rings to create a support ring structure with alternating large and small angles, as well as modifying the position and shape of the link. Using finite element analysis, the compressive performance, expansion performance, bending flexibility performance, damage to blood vessels, and hemodynamic changes of the stent were used as evaluation indexes. The results of these comprehensive evaluations were utilized as the primary criteria for selecting the most suitable stent design. The results demonstrated that compared to the traditional stent, stents A, B, and C exhibited improvements in radial stiffness of 16.9%, 15.1%, and 37.8%, respectively; reductions in bending stiffness of 27.3%, 7.6%, and 38.1%, respectively; decreases in dog-boning rate of 5.1%, 93.9%, and 31.3%, respectively; as well as declines in the low wall shear stress region by 50.1%, 43.8%, and 36.2%, respectively. In comparison to traditional stents, a reduction in radial recoiling was observed for stents A and C, with decreases of 9.3% and 7.4%, respectively. Although there was a slight increase in vessel damage for stents A, B, and C compared to traditional stents, this difference was not significant to have an impact. The changes in intravascular blood flow rate were essentially the same after implantation of the four stents. A comparison of the four stents revealed that stents A and C exhibited superior overall mechanical properties and they have greater potential for clinical application. This study provides a reference for designing clinical stent structures.

镁合金作为血管支架的一种新材料,具有优异的机械性能、生物相容性和生物降解性。然而,与结构特性相同的传统金属支架相比,镁合金支架的机械性能相对较差。因此,改善其机械性能是开发可生物降解镁合金支架的关键问题。本研究根据可生物降解支架的典型结构设计了三种新型支架结构(即支架 A、支架 B 和支架 C)。所做的改动包括改变支撑环的角度和排列方式,以形成大小角度交替的支撑环结构,以及修改链接的位置和形状。通过有限元分析,支架的抗压性能、膨胀性能、弯曲灵活性能、对血管的损伤以及血液动力学变化被用作评估指标。这些综合评估的结果被用作选择最合适支架设计的主要标准。结果表明,与传统支架相比,支架 A、B 和 C 的径向刚度分别提高了 16.9%、15.1% 和 37.8%;弯曲刚度分别降低了 27.3%、7.6% 和 38.1%;狗骨率分别降低了 5.1%、93.9% 和 31.3%;低壁剪切应力区域分别降低了 50.1%、43.8% 和 36.2%。与传统支架相比,支架 A 和 C 的径向回缩有所减少,分别减少了 9.3% 和 7.4%。虽然与传统支架相比,支架 A、B 和 C 的血管损伤略有增加,但这种差异并不显著,不会产生影响。植入四种支架后,血管内血流速度的变化基本相同。对四种支架进行比较后发现,A 和 C 两种支架的整体机械性能更优越,更有可能应用于临床。这项研究为临床支架结构的设计提供了参考。

A systematic verification and validation (V&V) of our previously proposed momentum source wave generation method is performed. Some settings of previous numerical wave tanks (NWTs) of regular and irregular waves have been optimized. The H2-5 V&V method involving five mesh sizes with mesh refinement ratio being 1.225 is used to verify the NWT of regular waves, in which the wave height and mass conservation are mainly considered based on a Lv3 (Hs = 0.75 m) and a Lv6 (Hs = 5 m) regular wave. Additionally, eight different sea states are chosen to validate the wave height, mass conservation and wave frequency of regular waves. Regarding the NWT of irregular waves, five different sea states with significant wave heights ranging from 0.09 m to 12.5 m are selected to validate the statistical characteristics of irregular waves, including the profile of the wave spectrum, peak frequency and significant wave height. Results show that the verification errors for Lv3 and Lv6 regular wave on the most refined grid are −0.018 and −0.35 for wave height, respectively, and −0.14 and for −0.17 mass conservation, respectively. The uncertainty estimation analysis shows that the numerical error could be partially balanced out by the modelling error to achieve a smaller validation error by adjusting the mesh size elaborately. And the validation errors of the wave height, mass conservation and dominant frequency of regular waves under different sea states are no more than 7%, 8% and 2%, respectively. For a Lv3 (Hs = 0.75 m) and a Lv6 (Hs = 5 m) regular wave, simulations are validated on the wave height in wave development section for safety factors FS ≈ 1 and FS ≈ 0.5–1, respectively. Regarding irregular waves, the validation errors of the significant wave height and peak frequency are both lower than 2%.

对我们之前提出的动量源波生成方法进行了系统的验证和确认(V&V)。对之前的规则波和不规则波数值波箱(NWT)的一些设置进行了优化。使用 H2-5 V&V 方法(涉及五种网格尺寸,网格细化率为 1.225)验证了规则波的 NWT,其中主要考虑了基于 Lv3 (Hs = 0.75 m) 和 Lv6 (Hs = 5 m) 规则波的波高和质量守恒。此外,还选择了八种不同的海况来验证规则波的波高、质量守恒和波频。关于不规则波的西北太平洋试验,选择了五个不同的海况,其显著波高从 0.09 米到 12.5 米不等,以验证不规则波的统计特征,包括波谱剖面、峰值频率和显著波高。结果表明,在最精细网格上,Lv3 和 Lv6 不规则波的波高验证误差分别为-0.018 和-0.35,质量保证误差分别为-0.14 和-0.17。不确定性估计分析表明,通过精细调整网格尺寸,数值误差可以被建模误差部分抵消,从而获得较小的验证误差。而不同海况下的波高、质量守恒和规则波主导频率的验证误差分别不超过 7%、8% 和 2%。对于 Lv3(Hs = 0.75 米)和 Lv6(Hs = 5 米)规则波,分别在安全系数 FS ≈ 1 和 FS ≈ 0.5-1 时对波浪发展段的波高进行了模拟验证。对于不规则波,显著波高和峰值频率的验证误差均小于 2%。

Advanced programmable metamaterials with heterogeneous microstructures have become increasingly prevalent in scientific and engineering disciplines attributed to their tunable properties. However, exploring the structure-property relationship in these materials, including forward prediction and inverse design, presents substantial challenges. The inhomogeneous microstructures significantly complicate traditional analytical or simulation-based approaches. Here, we establish a novel framework that integrates the machine learning (ML)-encoded multiscale computational method for forward prediction and Bayesian optimization for inverse design. Unlike prior end-to-end ML methods limited to specific problems, our framework is both load-independent and geometry-independent. This means that a single training session for a constitutive model suffices to tackle various problems directly, eliminating the need for repeated data collection or training. We demonstrate the efficacy and efficiency of this framework using metamaterials with designable elliptical holes or lattice honeycombs microstructures. Leveraging accelerated forward prediction, we can precisely customize the stiffness and shape of metamaterials under diverse loading scenarios, and extend this capability to multi-objective customization seamlessly. Moreover, we achieve topology optimization for stress alleviation at the crack tip, resulting in a significant reduction of Mises stress by up to 41.2% and yielding a theoretical interpretable pattern. This framework offers a general, efficient and precise tool for analyzing the structure-property relationships of novel metamaterials.

具有异质微结构的先进可编程超材料因其可调特性而在科学和工程学科中日益盛行。然而,探索这些材料的结构-性能关系(包括正向预测和逆向设计)面临着巨大挑战。不均匀的微结构使传统的分析或模拟方法变得非常复杂。在这里,我们建立了一个新颖的框架,将用于正向预测的机器学习(ML)编码多尺度计算方法和用于逆向设计的贝叶斯优化方法整合在一起。与之前局限于特定问题的端到端 ML 方法不同,我们的框架与负载和几何形状无关。这意味着只需对结构模型进行一次训练,就能直接解决各种问题,无需重复收集数据或训练。我们利用具有可设计椭圆孔或晶格蜂窝微结构的超材料,展示了这一框架的功效和效率。利用加速正向预测,我们可以在各种加载情况下精确定制超材料的刚度和形状,并将这种能力无缝扩展到多目标定制。此外,我们还实现了拓扑优化,以减轻裂纹尖端的应力,从而将米塞斯应力显著降低了 41.2%,并产生了理论上可解释的模式。该框架为分析新型超材料的结构-性能关系提供了一种通用、高效和精确的工具。

The role of hydrodynamic effect in the meeting of multiple fish is a fascinating topic. The interactions of two self-propelled flexible plates swimming in opposite directions horizontally and maintaining a certain lateral distance are numerically simulated using a penalty-immersed boundary method. The effects of the flapping phase and lateral distance on the propulsive performance of two fish meetings are analyzed. Results show that, when two plates meet, if their leading edges diverge laterally, the individual plate can efficiently and rapidly move apart from the other horizontally. If their leading edges converge laterally, the plate motion can be retarded, leading to high energy consumption. Moreover, an increasing lateral distance between two plates significantly weakens the fluid-structure interactions, resulting in an exponential decline in mean cruising speed. A quantitative force analysis based on vortex dynamic theory is performed to gain physics insight into the hydrodynamic interaction mechanism. It is found that lateral separation between the two leading edges enhances the vorticity generation and boundary vorticity flux on the surface of the plate, subsequently reinforcing the thrust effect and increasing horizontal velocity. This study offers insight into the hydrodynamic mechanisms of the fluid-structure interactions among fish moving toward each other and suggests potential strategies for enhancing the maneuverability of robotic fish in complex environment.

水动力效应在多鱼相遇中的作用是一个引人入胜的课题。本文采用惩罚浸没边界法,对两块水平方向相反并保持一定横向距离的自推进柔性板的相互作用进行了数值模拟。分析了拍打阶段和横向距离对两鱼相遇时推进性能的影响。结果表明,当两个板块相遇时,如果它们的前缘横向发散,则单个板块可以高效、快速地与另一个板块在水平方向上分开。如果两块板的前缘向横向靠拢,则板的运动会受阻,导致能量消耗过高。此外,两块板之间的横向距离增加,会大大削弱流体与结构之间的相互作用,导致平均巡航速度呈指数下降。为了从物理学角度深入了解流体动力相互作用机制,我们基于涡旋动力学理论进行了定量力分析。研究发现,两个前缘之间的横向分离增强了板表面涡流的产生和边界涡流通量,从而加强了推力效应并提高了水平速度。这项研究有助于深入了解鱼类相互移动时流体与结构相互作用的流体力学机制,并为增强机器鱼在复杂环境中的机动性提出了潜在策略。

Within the context of global energy transitions, many wind turbines have been installed in desert and Gobi regions. Nevertheless, the impact of turbulence characteristics in actual sand-laden atmospheric flows on the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines has not been evaluated. The current study employs the high-quality wind velocity data measured in the Qingtu Lake Observation Array station of Min Qin to reveal the effects of turbulence characteristics in sand-laden atmospheric flows on the power and loads of a small wind turbine. The results demonstrate that turbulent coherent structures under sand-laden conditions occur more frequently and with shorter durations than that under the unladen conditions, leading to frequent and large fluctuations of wind turbine loads, specifically, the power, thrust, and blade root flapwise moment increased by 238%, 167%, and 194%, respectively.

在全球能源转型的背景下,许多风力涡轮机已安装在沙漠和戈壁地区。然而,实际含沙气流中的湍流特性对风力涡轮机空气动力性能的影响尚未得到评估。本研究利用在民勤青土湖观测阵列站测量到的高质量风速数据,揭示了含沙大气流中的湍流特性对小型风力涡轮机功率和负载的影响。结果表明,含沙条件下的湍流相干结构比非含沙条件下的湍流相干结构发生频率更高、持续时间更短,导致风力发电机组的载荷波动频繁且波动幅度大,具体而言,功率、推力和叶片根部襟翼力矩分别增加了 238%、167% 和 194%。应用极端湍流模型的预测结果表明,风力发电机在满载风沙条件下的最大极端推力、叶片根部襟翼力矩和叶片根部边缘力矩分别比空载条件下高出 23%、19% 和 7%。这项研究有望为风力涡轮机在含沙环境下的设计和选址决策提供基础资料。

The flow control at low Reynolds numbers is one of the most promising technologies in the field of aerodynamics, and it is also an important source of the innovation for novel aircraft. In this study, a new way of nonlinear flow control by interaction between two flexible flaps is proposed, and their flow control mechanism is studied employing the self-constructed immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann-finite element method (IB-LB-FEM). The effects of the difference in material properties and flap length between the two flexible flaps on the nonlinear flow control of the airfoil are discussed. It is suggested that the relationship between the deformation of the two flexible flaps and the evolution of the vortex under the fluid-structure interaction (FSI). It is shown that the upstream flexible flap plays a key role in the flow control of the two flexible flaps. The FSI effect of the upstream flexible flap will change the unsteady flow behind it and affect the deformation of the downstream flexible flap. Two flexible flaps with different material properties and different lengths will change their own FSI characteristics by the induced vortex, effectively suppressing the flow separation on the airfoil’s upper surface. The interaction of two flexible flaps plays an extremely important role in improving the autonomy and adjustability of flow control. The numerical results will provide a theoretical basis and technical guidance for the development and application of a new flap passive control technology.

低雷诺数流动控制是空气动力学领域最有前途的技术之一,也是新型飞行器创新的重要源泉。本研究提出了一种通过两块柔性襟翼相互作用实现非线性流动控制的新方法,并采用自建沉浸边界-晶格玻尔兹曼有限元法(IB-LB-FEM)对其流动控制机理进行了研究。讨论了两个柔性襟翼之间材料特性和襟翼长度的差异对机翼非线性流动控制的影响。提出了在流固耦合(FSI)作用下,两块柔性襟翼的变形与涡流演变之间的关系。研究表明,上游柔性襟翼在两个柔性襟翼的流动控制中起着关键作用。上游柔性襟翼的 FSI 作用会改变其后面的非稳定流,并影响下游柔性襟翼的变形。两个不同材料特性和不同长度的柔性襟翼会在诱导涡的作用下改变自身的 FSI 特性,从而有效抑制机翼上表面的流动分离。两块柔性襟翼的相互作用在提高流动控制的自主性和可调性方面发挥着极其重要的作用。数值结果将为新型襟翼被动控制技术的开发和应用提供理论依据和技术指导。

Flexoelectricity refers to the link between electrical polarization and strain gradient fields in piezoelectric materials, particularly at the nano-scale. The present investigation aims to comprehensively focus on the static bending analysis of a piezoelectric sandwich functionally graded porous (FGP) double-curved shallow nanoshell based on the flexoelectric effect and nonlocal strain gradient theory. Two coefficients that reduce or increase the stiffness of the nanoshell, including nonlocal and length-scale parameters, are considered to change along the nanoshell thickness direction, and three different porosity rules are novel points in this study. The nanoshell structure is placed on a Pasternak elastic foundation and is made up of three separate layers of material. The outermost layers consist of piezoelectric smart material with flexoelectric effects, while the core layer is composed of FGP material. Hamilton’s principle was used in conjunction with a unique refined higher-order shear deformation theory to derive general equilibrium equations that provide more precise outcomes. The Navier and Galerkin-Vlasov methodology is used to get the static bending characteristics of nanoshells that have various boundary conditions. The program’s correctness is assessed by comparison with published dependable findings in specific instances of the model described in the article. In addition, the influence of parameters such as flexoelectric effect, nonlocal and length scale parameters, elastic foundation stiffness coefficient, porosity coefficient, and boundary conditions on the static bending response of the nanoshell is detected and comprehensively studied. The findings of this study have practical implications for the efficient design and control of comparable systems, such as micro-electromechanical and nano-electromechanical devices.

挠电性是指压电材料中电极化与应变梯度场之间的联系,尤其是在纳米尺度上。本研究旨在基于柔电效应和非局部应变梯度理论,全面关注压电夹层功能分级多孔(FGP)双曲浅纳米壳的静态弯曲分析。本研究考虑了两个降低或增加纳米壳刚度的系数,包括非局部参数和长度尺度参数,它们沿纳米壳厚度方向变化,三种不同的孔隙率规则是本研究的创新点。纳米壳结构置于帕斯捷尔纳克弹性基础之上,由三层独立的材料组成。最外层由具有柔电效应的压电智能材料组成,而核心层则由 FGP 材料构成。汉密尔顿原理与独特的精炼高阶剪切变形理论相结合,推导出一般平衡方程,提供了更精确的结果。Navier 和 Galerkin-Vlasov 方法用于获得具有各种边界条件的纳米壳的静态弯曲特性。通过与已发表的可靠研究结果进行比较,评估了文章所述模型特定实例中程序的正确性。此外,还检测并全面研究了挠电效应、非局部和长度尺度参数、弹性基础刚度系数、孔隙度系数和边界条件等参数对纳米壳静态弯曲响应的影响。这项研究的结果对有效设计和控制类似系统(如微机电和纳米机电设备)具有实际意义。

In thermal protection structures, controlling and optimizing the surface roughness of carbon/phenolic (C/Ph) composites can effectively improve thermal protection performance and ensure the safe operation of carriers in high-temperature environments. This paper introduces a machine learning (ML) framework to forecast the surface roughness of carbon-phenolic composites under various thermal conditions by employing an ML algorithm derived from historical experimental datasets. Firstly, ablation experiments and collection of surface roughness height data of C/Ph composites under different thermal environments were conducted in an electric arc wind tunnel. Then, an ML model based on Ridge regression is developed for surface roughness prediction. The model involves incorporating feature engineering to choose the most concise and pertinent features, as well as developing an ML model. The ML model considers thermal environment parameters and feature screened by feature engineering as inputs, and predicts the surface height as the output. The results demonstrate that the suggested ML framework effectively anticipates the surface shape and associated surface roughness parameters in various heat flow conditions. Compared with the conventional 3D confocal microscope scanning, the method can obtain the surface topography information of the same area in a much shorter time, thus significantly saving time and cost.

在热保护结构中,控制和优化碳/酚醛(C/Ph)复合材料的表面粗糙度可有效提高热保护性能,确保载体在高温环境下的安全运行。本文介绍了一种机器学习(ML)框架,通过采用从历史实验数据集中得出的 ML 算法,预测碳/酚复合材料在各种热条件下的表面粗糙度。首先,在电弧风洞中对不同热环境下的碳/酚复合材料进行烧蚀实验并收集表面粗糙度高度数据。然后,开发了一个基于岭回归的 ML 模型,用于表面粗糙度预测。该模型包括特征工程,以选择最简洁、最相关的特征,以及开发一个 ML 模型。ML 模型将热环境参数和通过特征工程筛选出的特征作为输入,并将表面高度作为输出进行预测。结果表明,建议的 ML 框架能有效预测各种热流条件下的表面形状和相关表面粗糙度参数。与传统的三维共焦显微镜扫描相比,该方法能在更短的时间内获得相同区域的表面形貌信息,从而大大节省了时间和成本。

Helmets exacerbate head injuries to some degree under blast load, which has been recently researched and referred to as the underwash effect. Various studies indicate that the underwash effect is attributed to either wave interaction or wave-structure interaction. Despite ongoing investigations, there is no consensus on the explanations and verification of proposed mechanisms. This study conducts experiments and numerical simulations to investigate the underwash effect, resulting from the interaction among blast load, helmets, and head models. The analysis of overpressure in experiments and simulations, with the developed simplified models that ignore unimportant geometric details, reveals that the underwash effect arises from the combined action of wave interaction and wave-structure interaction. Initially reflected in front of the head, the blast load converges at the rear after diffraction, forming a high-pressure zone. Decoupling the helmet components demonstrates that the pads alleviate rear overpressure through array hindrance of the load, resulting in a potential reduction of up to 36% in the rear overpressure peak. The helmet shell exacerbates the rear overpressure peak through geometric restriction of the load after diffraction, leading to a remarkable 388% increase in rear overpressure. The prevailing impact of the geometric restriction imposed by the shell of the helmet leads to a significant 57% increase in overpressure when employing a complete helmet.

在爆炸荷载下,头盔会在一定程度上加剧头部伤害,最近对这一问题进行了研究,并将其称为下冲效应。各种研究表明,下冲效应可归因于波浪相互作用或波浪-结构相互作用。尽管调查仍在进行,但对所提出机制的解释和验证尚未达成共识。本研究通过实验和数值模拟来研究爆炸载荷、头盔和头部模型之间的相互作用所产生的下冲效应。实验和模拟中的超压分析,以及忽略了不重要几何细节的简化模型的开发,揭示了波浪相互作用和波浪-结构相互作用的综合作用产生的冲底效应。爆炸荷载最初反射到头部前方,经过衍射后汇聚到后方,形成一个高压区。头盔部件的解耦表明,衬垫通过阵列阻碍负载来减轻后部过压,从而使后部过压峰值可能降低 36%。头盔外壳在衍射后通过对负载的几何限制加剧了后部过压峰值,导致后部过压显著增加 388%。头盔外壳施加的几何限制的主要影响导致在使用完整头盔时超压显著增加 57%。
