The evaluation of the impacts derived from the construction, the service and the end-of-life stages of an infrastructure is consequently in the spotlight of the research community. Being the construction sector as one of the main stressors of the environment, great attention has been recently paid to the structural design from the economic and the environmental point of view. However, sustainability requires to consider the social dimension as well. The evaluation of the social impacts of products is still at a very early stage of development, so the inclusion of social aspects in the design of structures is often overlooked. In this study, a comparison of life cycle assessment results is conducted on seven different design alternatives for a bridge in a coastal environment. Two approaches are followed: the first approach considers the economic and the environmental aspects of each design and the second approach includes the several social impacts specifically developed for the assessment of infrastructures. These social impacts account for four stakeholders, namely workers, consumers, local community and society. Results show that the inclusion of social aspects shall lead to different preferred options when compared with conventional, two-dimensional approaches. Here, the design with silica fume added concrete performs 11% better from a sustainability point of view when compared with the best solution resulting from a conventional assessment.","PeriodicalId":22520,"journal":{"name":"THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS","volume":"14 1","pages":"93-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84632136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A more natural approach might rely on the direct representation of the crack tip singularity, as already proposed in the frame of the hybrid boundary element method, with implementation of generalized Westergaard stress functions. On the other hand, recent mathematical assessments indicate that the conventional boundary element formulation – based on Kelvin’s fundamental solution – is, in fact, able to precisely represent high stress gradients and deal with extremely convoluted topologies provided only that the numerical integrations be properly resolved. We propose in this paper that independent of the configuration, a cracked structure is geometrically represented as it would appear in real-world laboratory experiments, with crack openings in the range of micrometers. (The nanometer range is actually mathematically feasible, but not realistic in terms of continuum mechanics.) Owing to the newly developed numerical integration scheme, machine precision evaluation of all quantities may be achieved and stress results consistently evaluated at interior points arbitrarily close to crack tips. Importantly, no artificial topological issues are introduced, linear algebra conditioning is kept well under control, and arbitrarily high convergence of results is always attainable. The present developments apply to two-dimensional problems. Some numerical illustrations show that highly accurate results are obtained for cracks represented with just a few quadratic, generally curved, boundary elements – and a few Gauss–Legendre integration points per element – and that the numerical evaluation of the J-integral turns out to be straightforward and actually the most reliable means of obtaining stress intensity factors. Higher-order boundary elements lead to still better results.","PeriodicalId":22520,"journal":{"name":"THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS","volume":"12 1","pages":"141-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75339912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, a rope-sealed structure with braided ceramic fibres has been designed for hypersonic vehicles. The ceramic fibres in the structure have the characteristics of high temperature strength, so that they make the sealed structure suitable for working under a high temperature. Meanwhile, when subjected to an external force, braided fibres can produce a buffer force at the ceramic interface, so that it can maintain the good performance of the whole sealed structure. But up to now, only a few researches have been conducted on this kind of structures. In this paper, a simplified thermal–mechanical seepage coupling model is proposed to simulate the complicated physical process for this kind of structures. Meanwhile, a new numerical method called element differential method (EDM) is used to calculate the coupling problem because it has great advantages in solving multiphysics coupling problems. What is more, some experiments are used to obtain the leakages when the sealed structure is under service. And finally, by referring the experimental results, the authors establish a series of material parameter relationships for the sealed structure and also verify the reasonability of the proposed multi-physics coupling model.","PeriodicalId":22520,"journal":{"name":"THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS","volume":"144 1 1","pages":"153-164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77240043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cylinder model was 29 m long and had a slenderness ratio of approximately 760. The random waves were generated using a JONSWAP wave amplitude spectrum. In addition, for some tests, the cylinder was towed at two different speeds to simulate the combined loading of random waves and constant current conditions. The data were initially analyzed using standard spectral analyses to interpret the cylinder’s flow-induced response behavior and relate the findings to traditional deterministic parameters. Further analyses were performed using a generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution procedure that involved dividing the time series into blocks and fitting the block maxima of the extreme values in the measured response time series data. The Anderson–Darling (AD) test criterion and quantile plots were then used to assess whether the GEV distribution provides a satisfactory fit to the data capturing the statistical characteristics in the flexible cylinder’s flow-induced response behavior, which was stochastic in nature. For the data set analyzed, the extremal GEV methodology presented was observed to provide excellent results for the random wave cases and moderately good-to-good results for the combined random wave and constant current cases.","PeriodicalId":22520,"journal":{"name":"THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS","volume":"78 1","pages":"165-179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81910486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gradient-based optimization is implemented to minimize the sound pressure in the reference region. By subdivision coarsening treatment, the secondary processing improves the direct optimization results in reducing the oscillation of the optimized structure. The influence of different subdivision schemes on the obtained optimized configurations is studied in detail, which shows the potential of the secondary reverse processing for engineering prototype design.","PeriodicalId":22520,"journal":{"name":"THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS","volume":"66 1","pages":"108-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74729644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
