Laser Powder-Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is one of the most used Additive Manufacturing technologies for metals. The high degree of freedom in part design and the possibility for functional integration make this process suitable for the production of e.g. medical devices. However, the utilization of additive manufacturing for metals has yet to be explored in analytical instruments or gas measurement systems that prioritize surface and chemical inertness. In the event that L-PBF is to be utilized in novel domains, it is imperative that components adhere strictly to all stipulated criteria. Chemically inert metals like stainless steel 316L are of particular interest for gas measuring applications including exhaled breath analysis, but especially warping and geometrical inaccuracies of additively manufactured 316L parts inhibit the adoption for accessory fabrication. Support structures are considered as an inefficient waste of material increasing post-processing efforts, but they are one design feature to achieve high part quality by e.g. warping reduction. This study analyzes properties of cube samples and gas-carrying parts to gain insights into the influence of the support structure wall thickness and resulting quality. The portion of supported downskin surfaces is introduced after cross-section area calculations to give a transferable measure that is compared to other support strategies of other materials in literature. Especially roughness and geometrical accuracy of gas-carrying parts formed a foundation to select the best support structure compromise between saving material and achieving high part quality. As a result, trends are documented of increasing supported area portions are transferred to gas-carrying parts. There, 49% of supported part surface or 0.4 mm thick walls of block support structures,respectively, mark the best compromise between material efficiency and part quality. This gas-carrying part has the highest degree of geometrical accuracy in a horizontal build orientation of 0°.
激光粉末床熔融(L-PBF)是应用最广泛的金属增材制造技术之一。零件设计的高度自由度和功能集成的可能性使该工艺适用于诸如医疗设备的生产。然而,在优先考虑表面和化学惰性的分析仪器或气体测量系统中,金属增材制造的应用尚未得到探索。如果L-PBF要用于新的领域,那么组件必须严格遵守所有规定的标准。化学惰性金属如不锈钢316L对气体测量应用特别感兴趣,包括呼气分析,但特别是增材制造316L零件的翘曲和几何不准确性抑制了附件制造的采用。支撑结构被认为是一种低效的材料浪费,增加了后处理的工作量,但它们是通过减少翘曲来实现高零件质量的一个设计特征。本研究分析了立方体样品和载气部件的性能,以深入了解支撑结构壁厚和最终质量的影响。在横截面面积计算后,引入了支撑下皮表面的部分,以给出与文献中其他材料的其他支撑策略相比较的可转移措施。特别是载气件的粗糙度和几何精度为在节省材料和实现高质量零件之间选择最佳支撑结构提供了依据。结果表明,增加的支撑面积部分被转移到载气部分。其中,49%的被支撑部件表面或0.4 mm厚的块支撑结构壁分别标志着材料效率和部件质量之间的最佳折衷。这种载气部件在0°的水平构造方向上具有最高的几何精度。

IF 2.1 Q2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-16 DOI: 10.1016/j.apples.2026.100307

Accurate prediction of the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete is essential for designing sustainable and cost-effective construction materials. This study evaluates and compares the performance and accuracy of four machine learning models data, and R = 0.123 and RMSE = 16.37 for the testing data, indicating poor generalization capability. In contrast, Jafari et al. achieved better performance using more advanced algorithms, with R—XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, and Support Vector Regression (SVR)—for predicting compressive strength based on 162 geopolymer concrete mix designs. Each sample includes 16 input features, such as curing temperature, chemical composition of sodium silicate and fly ash, superplasticizer content, water, fine and coarse aggregates, and oxides (Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, CaO, Na₂O, SiO₂), with compressive strength as the target variable. All data processing and analysis were performed using Python software.To assess the relative performance of the developed models, the results were compared with previous studies. Loukog et al. employed machine learning models to predict the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete and reported a correlation coefficient of R = 0.768 and RMSE = 8.764 for the training = 0.89 and RMSE = 4.83 for the training set, and R = 0.826 and RMSE = 5.96 for the testing set. Compared with these studies, the models developed in the present research—particularly the XGBoost model—demonstrated substantially higher accuracy. In the testing set, XGBoost achieved a correlation coefficient of 0.86 and an RMSE of 5.59, outperforming both previous works. Moreover, other Boosting-based models (CatBoost and LightGBM) also exhibited competitive results, performing similarly to or better than previous studies. This comparison highlights that the adoption of Boosting algorithms can significantly enhance the prediction accuracy and stability of compressive strength estimation in geopolymer concrete.In addition to these performance advantages, the application of these predictive models results in considerable savings in laboratory time and costs, while significantly reducing human errors that may occur during traditional experimental procedures. The use of these algorithms facilitates faster and more optimized mix design, minimizing the risk of errors associated with manual testing.
准确预测地聚合物混凝土的抗压强度对于设计可持续和经济高效的建筑材料至关重要。本研究对四种机器学习模型数据的性能和准确率进行了评估和比较,测试数据的R = 0.123, RMSE = 16.37,说明泛化能力较差。相比之下,Jafari等人使用更先进的算法(R-XGBoost、LightGBM、CatBoost和支持向量回归(SVR))实现了更好的性能,用于预测基于162种地聚合物混凝土混合设计的抗压强度。每个样本以抗压强度为目标变量,包括16个输入特征,如固化温度、水玻璃和粉煤灰的化学组成、减水剂含量、水、细粒和粗粒料、氧化物(Fe₂O₃、Al₂O₃、CaO、Na₂O、SiO₂)。所有数据处理和分析均使用Python软件进行。为了评估所开发模型的相对性能,将结果与先前的研究进行了比较。Loukog等人利用机器学习模型预测地聚合物混凝土的抗压强度,并报道了训练集的相关系数R = 0.768, RMSE = 8.764,训练集的相关系数R = 0.89, RMSE = 4.83,测试集的相关系数R = 0.826, RMSE = 5.96。与这些研究相比,本研究中开发的模型,特别是XGBoost模型,显示出更高的准确性。在测试集中,XGBoost的相关系数为0.86,RMSE为5.59,优于之前的两项工作。此外,其他基于boost的模型(CatBoost和LightGBM)也展示了具有竞争力的结果,表现与以前的研究相似或更好。对比表明,采用Boosting算法可以显著提高地聚合物混凝土抗压强度估计的预测精度和稳定性。除了这些性能优势之外,这些预测模型的应用还大大节省了实验室时间和成本,同时显著减少了传统实验过程中可能出现的人为错误。这些算法的使用有助于更快和更优化的混合设计,最大限度地减少与人工测试相关的错误风险。

This study investigates the thermal performance of the Lower Convective Zone (LCZ) in a Salt-Gradient Solar Pond (SGSP) using numerical simulations. The model is developed from an experimental prototype reported in the literature, with a computational domain of 20 m × 20 m × 1.5 m. A heat exchanger tube of 0.10 m diameter is placed inside the LCZ to absorb the stored heat. The inlet mass flow rate is set to 0.078 kg/s, and the boundary conditions are based on climatic data from August 2016, where the ambient temperature was 29.5 °C and the solar radiation was 792 W/m². The model is validated against experimental results, showing an average deviation of 4 % in outlet fluid temperature. The effect of varying mass flow rates from 0.039 kg/s to 0.312 kg/s on heat transfer is evaluated. To enhance thermal extraction, four heat exchanger geometries are tested: standard straight tube, inverted-U tube, zigzag coil with three bends, and zigzag coil with four bends. Results indicate that higher mass flow rates reduce LCZ temperature, while modified geometries significantly improve thermal performance. The zigzag coil with four bends achieves the highest outlet temperature of 75.55 °C, compared to 51.38 °C for the standard configuration, confirming the advantage of spiral geometry in maximizing heat extraction.
采用数值模拟方法研究了盐梯度太阳池(SGSP)下对流区(LCZ)的热特性。该模型由文献报道的实验样机发展而来,计算域为20 m × 20 m × 1.5 m。在LCZ内放置直径为0.10 m的换热管来吸收储存的热量。入口质量流量设置为0.078 kg/s,边界条件基于2016年8月的气候数据,环境温度为29.5℃,太阳辐射为792 W/m²。模型与实验结果进行了对比,结果表明,出口流体温度平均偏差为4%。计算了0.039 ~ 0.312 kg/s质量流量对换热的影响。为了提高热提取,测试了四种换热器的几何形状:标准直管、倒u型管、三弯之字形盘管和四弯之字形盘管。结果表明,较高的质量流量降低了LCZ温度,而改进的几何形状显著提高了热性能。与标准配置的51.38°C相比,带有四个弯的之字形线圈的最高出口温度为75.55°C,证实了螺旋几何结构在最大限度地提取热量方面的优势。

Vibration analysis of a functionally Graded cracked shaft system and AI-based design optimization 功能梯度裂纹轴系振动分析及基于人工智能的设计优化
IF 2.1 Q2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-09 DOI: 10.1016/j.apples.2025.100282

This paper presents a novel AI-based framework for the design optimization of shafts made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs), along with a detailed vibration analysis for multiple conditions. Functionally Graded Material (FGM) shafts combine the high-temperature resistance of ceramics with the toughness of metals, making them valuable in high-performance rotating machinery. However, their dynamic behavior becomes significantly more complex in the presence of cracks, thermal gradients, and material gradation. In this work, a comprehensive numerical study of the vibration response of unbalanced FGM shafts with a transverse breathing crack is conducted across different material gradations, thermal gradients, and rotational speeds. To reduce the computational cost of the design optimization process, an integrated Artificial Intelligence framework combining Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) is introduced. The ANN serves as an accurate surrogate model for predicting key performance indicators, including critical speed, static deflection, weight, and effective fracture toughness, while the GA efficiently explores the design space for optimal shaft configurations. The results highlight the influence of FGM gradation and thermal loading on the vibrational characteristics of cracked rotors and demonstrate that the proposed ANN-GA framework delivers excellent multi-objective optimization performance with high predictive accuracy. This work provides both deeper insight into the dynamics of cracked FGM shafts and a computationally efficient tool for their design optimization, supporting more reliable rotor-bearing systems.
本文提出了一种基于人工智能的新型框架,用于功能梯度材料(fgm)轴的设计优化,并对多种条件下的振动进行了详细分析。功能梯度材料(FGM)轴结合了陶瓷的耐高温性能和金属的韧性,使其在高性能旋转机械中具有重要价值。然而,在裂纹、热梯度和材料级配的存在下,它们的动态行为变得更加复杂。在这项工作中,对具有横向呼吸裂纹的非平衡FGM轴在不同材料级配、热梯度和转速下的振动响应进行了全面的数值研究。为了降低设计优化过程的计算成本,提出了一种结合人工神经网络(ann)和遗传算法(GAs)的集成人工智能框架。人工神经网络可以作为预测关键性能指标的精确替代模型,包括临界速度、静态挠度、重量和有效断裂韧性,而遗传算法则可以有效地探索最佳轴配置的设计空间。结果表明,FGM梯度和热载荷对裂纹转子振动特性的影响显著,表明所提出的ANN-GA框架具有良好的多目标优化性能和较高的预测精度。这项工作提供了对裂纹FGM轴的动力学更深入的了解,并为其设计优化提供了计算效率的工具,支持更可靠的转子轴承系统。

Predictive assessment of delamination characteristics in E-glass/epoxy composites using sequential back-propagation neural networks 序贯反向传播神经网络对e -玻璃/环氧复合材料分层特性的预测评估
IF 2.1 Q2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-06 DOI: 10.1016/j.apples.2026.100292

This study focuses on the detection and quantification of delaminations in E-glass/epoxy composite samples. A comprehensive investigation involving 603 distinct numerical tests was conducted, each varying in terms of the intensity, number, and spatial arrangement of damage traversing the sample's length and thickness. The primary objective was to extract the first five natural frequencies from these samples. To enable damage prediction, we devised a sequential back-propagation artificial neural network. This network was trained utilizing the initial five natural frequencies as input data. Importantly, the output of each network in the sequence was fed as input to the subsequent network. The results underscored the network's efficacy and robustness in predicting damage severity, count, and precise locations along both the sample's length and thickness. Furthermore, an exploration of the influence of delaminations on the natural frequency values revealed a coherent and meaningful correlation. Notably, variations in the natural frequency values demonstrated a consistent relationship with damage attributes, encompassing both intensity and spatial distribution (across the length and thickness of the sample). This study thus establishes a sound foundation for employing sequential neural networks in the accurate assessment of delamination characteristics within composite structures, while also shedding light on the interconnectedness of damage features with alterations in natural frequency behavior.
本研究的重点是e -玻璃/环氧复合材料样品中分层的检测和定量。对603个不同的数值试验进行了全面的研究,每个数值试验在强度、数量和穿越试样长度和厚度的损伤空间排列方面都有所不同。主要目的是从这些样本中提取前五个固有频率。为了实现损伤预测,我们设计了一个顺序反向传播人工神经网络。该网络使用初始的五个固有频率作为输入数据进行训练。重要的是,序列中每个网络的输出作为输入馈送到后续网络。结果强调了该网络在预测损伤严重程度、数量和沿样本长度和厚度的精确位置方面的有效性和稳健性。此外,探索分层对固有频率值的影响揭示了连贯和有意义的相关性。值得注意的是,固有频率值的变化表现出与损伤属性的一致关系,包括强度和空间分布(跨越样本的长度和厚度)。因此,本研究为采用序列神经网络准确评估复合材料结构内部的分层特征奠定了良好的基础,同时也揭示了损伤特征与固有频率行为变化之间的相互联系。

Heat transfer enhancement in helical tubes using iron oxide nanofluid and spring turbulators with different pitches: Experimental and neural network study 利用氧化铁纳米流体和不同节距的弹簧紊流增强螺旋管内的传热:实验和神经网络研究
IF 2.1 Q2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.apples.2026.100303

The effect of simultaneously using nanofluid (NF) and spring turbulators on heat transfer in straight tubes has been repeatedly studied, whereas this effect in helical tubes has received little attention. Since the quality and quantity of the impact of these turbulators in spiral tubes and straight tubes are naturally different due to the presence of centrifugal forces and vortices, this study experimentally investigates the thermal performance of iron oxide nanofluid in a helical coil tube equipped with spring-wire inserts under a constant heat flux of 1000 W. Experiments were conducted with nanoparticle volume fractions ranging from 0.1 to 0.5% and wire pitches of 0.003, 0.006 and 0.009 m. Results indicated that increasing the nanoparticle concentration and decreasing the wire pitch significantly enhanced the Nusselt number. A maximum heat transfer improvement of approximately 40% was observed compared to water. Two artificial neural network (ANN) models, namely Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Self-Organizing Map (SOM), were employed to predict thermal behavior. The MLP model outperformed SOM, achieving an R² greater than 0.99 and lower error rates. To predict the Nu number with a self-organizing map (SOM) ANN with the number of 21 winning neurons with a 3–21–1 topology (including three inputs of Reynolds number, volume fraction, turbulator pitch, and one Nu number output), the obtained data were evaluated. According to the findings, at a pitch of 0.003 m and with a Reynolds number of 10,594, the convection heat transfer coefficient and the Nusselt number are 8200 (W/m²/K) and 110, respectively. This results in the optimal mode of increase for the helical tube. It should be noted that the circular motion of the fluid around the tube axis in spiral tubes is the result of centrifugal force, which causes the flow to transform from laminar to transient and then into turbulent.

同时使用纳米流体和弹簧紊流器对直管传热的影响已被反复研究,而对螺旋管的影响却很少关注。由于离心力和涡流的存在,在螺旋管和直管中,这些湍流的影响质量和数量自然不同,因此,本研究在恒定热通量为1000 W的情况下,实验研究了氧化铁纳米流体在装有弹簧丝插片的螺旋线圈管内的热性能。纳米颗粒体积分数为0.1 ~ 0.5%,丝距分别为0.003、0.006和0.009 m。结果表明,增加纳米颗粒浓度和减小丝距可显著提高Nusselt数。与水相比,观察到的最大传热改善约为40%。采用多层感知器(multilayer Perceptron, MLP)和自组织映射(Self-Organizing Map, SOM)两种人工神经网络(ANN)模型进行热行为预测。MLP模型优于SOM, R²大于0.99,错误率更低。为了预测Nu数,使用一个自组织映射(SOM)神经网络,该神经网络具有21个获胜神经元,具有3-21-1拓扑结构(包括雷诺数、体积分数、湍流节距和一个Nu数输出的三个输入),对获得的数据进行评估。结果表明,在间距为0.003 m,雷诺数为10,594时,对流换热系数和努塞尔数分别为8200 (W/m²/K)和110。这导致了螺旋管的最佳增加模式。需要注意的是,螺旋管内流体绕管轴圆周运动是离心力作用的结果,离心力使流动由层流转变为瞬态,再转变为湍流。实验结果表明,将纳米颗粒体积分数从0.1%增加到0.5%,湍流间距从0.009 m减小到0.003 m,可显著提高Nu数达38%,但压降也有所增加。在最优条件下,热性能评价准则(PEC)达到最大值1.38。基于3-21-1结构和s型激活函数的人工神经网络模型得到了较高的预测精度,R²为0.989,均方误差为7.2434。利用已知的增强技术,本研究的贡献在于对螺旋线圈系统的系统集成和多目标优化。高精度人工神经网络模型的建立为紧凑型换热器的设计提供了一个实用的框架。

Since the quality and quantity of the impact of these turbulators in spiral tubes and straight tubes are naturally different due to the presence of centrifugal forces and vortices, this study experimentally investigates the thermal performance of iron oxide nanofluid in a helical coil tube equipped with spring-wire inserts under a constant heat flux of 1000 W. Experiments were conducted with nanoparticle volume fractions ranging from 0.1 to 0.5% and wire pitches of 0.003, 0.006 and 0.009 m. Results indicated that increasing the nanoparticle concentration and decreasing the wire pitch significantly enhanced the Nusselt number. A maximum heat transfer improvement of approximately 40% was observed compared to water. Two artificial neural network (ANN) models, namely Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Self-Organizing Map (SOM), were employed to predict thermal behavior. The MLP model outperformed SOM, achieving an R² greater than 0.99 and lower error rates. To predict the Nu number with a self-organizing map (SOM) ANN with the number of 21 winning neurons with a 3–21–1 topology (including three inputs of Reynolds number, volume fraction, turbulator pitch, and one Nu number output), the obtained data were evaluated.

Statics of nonlocal stress driven graded material beam - cauchy distribution approach 非局部应力驱动梯度材料梁的静力学——柯西分布方法
IF 2.1 Q2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.apples.2026.100306

Nonlocal elasticity theories are essential for modeling size-dependent mechanical behavior in micro- and nano-structured components, yet existing stress-driven formulations rely almost exclusively on rapidly decaying kernels such as the Helmholtz or Gaussian forms. These kernels cannot represent algebraically decaying, scale-free interactions known to arise in materials with long-range microstructural coupling. This work addresses this limitation by developing the first stress-driven nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli beam model employing the Cauchy kernel. The governing equations are derived by coupling classical beam kinematics with a stress-driven integral constitutive law based on a normalized Cauchy attenuation kernel. Closed-form analytical solutions are obtained for simply supported, clamped, and cantilever beams where material gradations follow a power-law variation along the beam thickness. Parametric studies reveal that the Cauchy kernel induces stronger long-range nonlocal stiffening than exponential kernels, reduces maximum deflection more markedly, and maintains smooth convergence to the classical local model as the nonlocal parameter vanishes. These findings demonstrate that algebraic kernels fundamentally alter static response predictions and provide a physically motivated alternative for modeling nanoscale beams. The proposed formulation establishes a foundation for extending power-law-kernel SDM models to dynamics, instability, thermal fields, and experimental calibration.
非局部弹性理论对于微观和纳米结构部件的尺寸相关力学行为建模至关重要,然而现有的应力驱动公式几乎完全依赖于快速衰减的核,如亥姆霍兹或高斯形式。这些核不能代表代数衰变,已知的无标度相互作用出现在材料与远程微观结构耦合。这项工作通过开发采用柯西核的第一个应力驱动的非局部欧拉-伯努利梁模型来解决这一限制。将经典梁运动学与基于归一化柯西衰减核的应力驱动积分本构耦合得到控制方程。对于简支、夹紧和悬臂梁,获得了封闭形式的解析解,其中材料梯度沿梁厚呈幂律变化。参数化研究表明,与指数核相比,柯西核能诱导更强的远程非局部刚度,更显著地减小最大挠度,并在非局部参数消失时保持向经典局部模型的平滑收敛。这些发现表明,代数核从根本上改变了静态响应预测,并为纳米尺度光束的建模提供了一种物理驱动的替代方案。提出的公式为将幂律核SDM模型扩展到动力学、不稳定性、热场和实验校准奠定了基础。

Thermal performance and entropy minimization of magnetohydrodynamic flow in a triangular domain with a rotating solid cylinder 旋转固体圆柱体三角形区域磁流体动力流的热性能和熵最小化
IF 2.1 Q2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-19 DOI: 10.1016/j.apples.2026.100299

Conjugate magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection heat transfer in an isosceles triangular fluid domain with a heat-conducting spinning internal cylinder has been numerically examined in this study. The enclosure is filled with air, and the solid cylinder is made of low-carbon steel. A steady magnetic field is imposed in the domain, resulting in a magnetohydrodynamic effect on the system. The cylinder is placed at the center of the domain and spins in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, inducing aiding or opposing forced flow within the system. The top surface of the domain is at an elevated temperature, while the right-tilted sidewall is at a reduced temperature, thereby enforcing a natural convection current. This conjugate thermal problem is mathematically modeled using the Navier-Stokes and energy equations, along with appropriate boundary and solid-fluid interface conditions. The numerical solutions are obtained by implementing the Galerkin finite element method. The present model is also validated before carrying out the parametric simulation for this study. The results are enumerated for the broad range of governing parameters, such as Reynolds number (31.62 ≤ Re ≤ 316.23), Richardson number (0.1 ≤ Ri ≤ 10), Grashof number (103Gr ≤ 105), and Hartmann number (0 ≤ Ha ≤ 20) in terms of qualitative and quantitative evaluation of flow and thermal characteristics. The analysis reveals that introducing the MHD effect reduces heat transfer by approximately 5.3 % for both clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of the cylinder. It increases the average fluid temperature for clockwise rotation by up to 4.9 % and decreases it for counterclockwise rotation by approximately 2 %. However, the MHD effect reduces entropy generation as flow intensity increases, thereby reducing the irreversibility caused by fluid friction. Additionally, the clockwise rotation of the cylinder exhibits better heat transfer.
本文对等腰三角形流体域中具有导热旋转内柱的共轭磁流体混合对流换热进行了数值研究。外壳内充满空气,实心圆筒由低碳钢制成。在磁畴中施加稳定磁场,使系统产生磁流体动力学效应。圆柱体位于区域的中心,并以顺时针或逆时针方向旋转,在系统内诱导辅助或相反的强制流动。区域的顶表面温度升高,而右倾斜的侧壁温度降低,从而加强了自然对流。使用Navier-Stokes方程和能量方程,以及适当的边界和固-流界面条件,对该共轭热问题进行了数学建模。采用伽辽金有限元法得到了数值解。在进行本研究的参数化仿真之前,也对模型进行了验证。列举了广泛的控制参数,如雷诺数(31.62≤Re≤316.23)、理查德森数(0.1≤Ri≤10)、Grashof数(103≤Gr≤105)和Hartmann数(0≤Ha≤20)在流动和热特性的定性和定量评价方面的结果。分析表明,引入MHD效应,无论顺时针还是逆时针旋转,都能减少约5.3%的换热。顺时针旋转时,平均流体温度可提高4.9%,逆时针旋转时,平均流体温度可降低约2%。然而,随着流动强度的增加,MHD效应降低了熵产,从而降低了流体摩擦引起的不可逆性。此外,顺时针旋转的气缸表现出更好的传热。

Research on thermo-mechanical coupled damage of high-temperature concrete based on close-packed model 基于密实模型的高温混凝土热-力耦合损伤研究

This study employs ABAQUS numerical simulations to compare a model incorporating aggregates with a homogeneous model without aggregates. This comparison reveals the mechanical properties and micro-damage characteristics of concrete after exposure to high temperatures. The study systematically elucidates the intrinsic degradation mechanisms of concrete under thermo-mechanical coupling, spanning from macro to micro scales. It also highlights the advantages of the proposed close-packed model. The findings indicate that both peak stress and elastic modulus exhibit nonlinear reductions as temperature increases in high-temperature concrete. Stress-strain variation patterns demonstrate similarities across both models. The close-packed model effectively represents the mesoscale damage characteristics of high-temperature concrete. High temperatures significantly lower the stress threshold for damage initiation, and the damage evolution gradually slows down. The damage transitions from localized expansion at the aggregate-matrix interface to a globally diffuse expansion. Furthermore, the close-packed model effectively captures the settlement and packing characteristics of aggregates during the actual pouring process, addressing homogeneous models and random aggregate models that overlook physical processes.
本研究采用ABAQUS数值模拟比较了含骨料模型和不含骨料的均匀模型。通过对比,揭示了高温下混凝土的力学性能和微损伤特征。本研究系统地阐明了混凝土在热-力耦合作用下从宏观到微观的内在降解机制。它还突出了拟议的密集模式的优势。研究结果表明,高温混凝土的峰值应力和弹性模量均随温度升高而非线性降低。应力-应变变化模式在两种模型中表现出相似性。密排模型有效地表征了高温混凝土的中尺度损伤特征。高温显著降低了损伤起始应力阈值,损伤演化逐渐减缓。损伤由聚集-基体界面局部扩展过渡到全局扩散扩展。此外,密实充填模型有效地捕捉了实际浇注过程中骨料的沉降和充填特征,解决了忽略物理过程的均匀模型和随机骨料模型。

Linearized instability of Couette flow in stress-power law fluids 应力-幂律流体中Couette流动的线性不稳定性
IF 2.1 Q2 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-07 DOI: 10.1016/j.apples.2026.100304

This paper examines the linearized stability of plane Couette flow for stress-power law fluids, which exhibit non-monotonic stress–strain rate behavior. The constitutive model is derived from a thermodynamic framework using a non-convex rate of dissipation potential. Under velocity boundary conditions, the system may admit three steady-state solutions. Linearized stability analysis reveals that the two solutions on ascending constitutive branches are unconditionally stable, while the solution on the descending branch is unconditionally unstable. For mixed traction-velocity boundary conditions, the base state is unique. Stability depends solely on whether the prescribed traction lies on an ascending (stable) or descending (unstable) branch of the constitutive curve. The results demonstrate that flow stability in these complex fluids is fundamentally governed by both boundary conditions and constitutive non-monotonicity.
本文研究了应力-幂律流体平面Couette流动的线性化稳定性,该流体表现出非单调的应力-应变速率行为。本构模型是利用非凸耗散势率从热力学框架中导出的。在速度边界条件下,系统可以有三个稳态解。线性稳定性分析表明,在上升本构分支上的两个解是无条件稳定的,而在下降本构分支上的两个解是无条件不稳定的。对于混合牵引-速度边界条件,基态是唯一的。稳定性仅仅取决于规定的牵引力是在本构曲线的上升(稳定)分支上还是下降(不稳定)分支上。结果表明,这些复杂流体的流动稳定性基本上是由边界条件和本构非单调性共同决定的。
