This study introduced the corrugated cell walls into self-similar honeycombs, proposing a novel design with dual-scale optimization at both cell-wall and global structural levels. Honeycombs were fabricated from toughened polylactic acid using fused deposition modeling (FDM). Numerical simulation elucidated the mechanisms behind the enhanced energy absorption of these structures. In self-similar designs, inner/outer wall connections promoted folded lobe formation, enabling extensive material participation in plastic deformation. The self-similar honeycombs exhibited a 93.06 % higher specific energy absorption (<em>SEA</em>) compared to regular hexagonal honeycombs (RH). Optimizing conventional walls to corrugated configurations further enhanced performance, achieving a 128.44 % increase in <em>SEA</em> over RH. Increased wave number (<em>N</em>) and amplitude reduced folding lobes, eventually triggering global buckling. The optimal configuration, featuring single-wave geometry (<em>N</em> = 1) with a 0.6 mm amplitude, demonstrated superior energy absorption characteristics. Parametric analysis indicated that thicker cell walls elevated both mean crushing force (<em>MCF</em>) and <em>SEA</em>. Strategic selection of inner/outer wall corrugation parameters further optimized energy absorption stability. A theoretical model for predicting <em>MCF</em> in bio-inspired honeycombs was developed, demonstrating maximum relative errors within 7.84 %.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"321 ","pages":"Article 113586"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144722806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to achieve a target shape, inverse design algorithms that enable one to compute the initial state of the system are required. Thanks to advances in 3D printing technologies, the realization of shape-morphing structures was demonstrated in a variety of recently published works. Commonly there are several sources of uncertainties that can influence the design. Examples include code inputs and outputs, model inadequacy, and the mechanical properties of 3D-printed materials. In this paper, we present an effective design of shape-morphing structures that accounts for these errors. We integrate a probabilistic approach to characterize model-form uncertainties in the inverse design of shape-morphing elements based on Machine Learning (ML) approach. The proposed approach relies on an Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) model where the parameter space is extended through the definition of the uncertainties involved in the process. To demonstrate the merit of this approach, we consider a system of a heterogeneous elastic tube embedding a gel core. The gel swells, and the swelling-induced forces lead to the deformation of the elastic tube, resulting in dilation and a change in the shape of the system. The proposed algorithm receives a target shape as input and determines the required spatial distribution of material properties in the heterogeneous ring. It is quantitatively shown how the system is sensitive to various sources of uncertainty: parameter uncertainty, model inadequacy, and observation errors. In particular, the effect of the parameter uncertainties has been investigated in terms of posterior distributions. In general, this work provides insight into the role of uncertainties in shape-controlled problems, and specifically, it allows for improving the reliability of the target shape inverse design in shape morphing elements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"321 ","pages":"Article 113539"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144738945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FGM layers exhibit higher adhesive forces in soft layers and lower forces in stiff layers compared to homogeneous cases. Although the modification on adhesive forces is less pronounced than in homogeneous layers, the FGM layer improves subsurface von Mises stress continuity and reduces stress concentration in stiff layers.

Accurate ECR prediction remains challenging due to three predominant factors: the interface complexity introduced by surface roughness, the presence of multi-physics coupling phenomena, and the nonlinear nature of elastoplastic deformation characteristics. Although classical analytical models, such as Holm’s theory, Timsit’s formulation, and Greenwood’s approach, have provided fundamental insights, their practical utility is often constrained by oversimplified assumptions and inherent limitations in addressing real-world operational complexities. This paper presents an efficient numerical method for predicting the ECR of rough surface electrical contacts by incorporating the influences of both multi-physics coupling and elastoplastic material deformation. For Gaussian rough surfaces, the proposed numerical approach systematically quantifies ECR across a wide range of fractal parameters and loading conditions. A comparative analysis of this method against existing ECR models reveals that the Greenwood-based predictions exhibit significant deviations under a high-load condition. Based on the predictive data, this study establishes a novel and accurate model that quantifies load-dependent ECR of Gaussian surfaces. To verify the developed ECR model, electrical contact experiments were conducted. This new model enables rapid and reliable ECR estimation, providing a valuable tool for the design and optimization of electrical connectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"321 ","pages":"Article 113583"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144703518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the model accounts for material flaw distribution by incorporating a microscopic stochastic fracture model. The modified HFDEM captures various phenomena involved in the compressive failure of advanced ceramics, including fracture growth following the axial loading direction, as well as catastrophic failure and fragmentation behavior. The proposed model was validated by comparing simulated quasi-static compressive stress–strain responses with experimental results. The model successfully reproduced two distinct fracture patterns observed in compression experiments, demonstrating its ability to accurately predict the mechanical response of alumina ceramics under uniaxial compressive loading. Once validated, the effects of some mechanical properties (e.g., Poisson’s ratio, elastic modulus, shear strength, and tensile strength) on the compressive stress–strain responses were explored. Notably, the compressive strength is primarily governed by the behavior of the crack elements in the model, which correspond to material flaws. The effect of increasing tensile strength on compressive strength becomes less significant. Conversely, shear strength significantly affects the peak compressive strength.

In this paper, a new strategy is introduced in the design of TPMS structures using multiscale anisotropic topology optimization. Numerical homogenization is implemented through a finite element analysis framework to determine the relationship between the homogenized elasticity matrix components and the TPMS relative density. A reciprocal vector representation is used to define the TPMS geometry and a central finite difference calculation is employed to compute values of a mapping function at unit cell interfaces. A least-squares calculation is applied to compute homogenized non-isotropic elasticity matrix components from single cell TPMS finite element models. Homogenized orthotropic properties of the TPMS structure are included in the topology optimization through density design variables and orientation design variables that define the in-plane rotation of the lattice structure.
