The algorithm is designed to calculate nonlinear deflection responses under the effect of combined hygro-thermo-mechanical (HTM) loading. The hygrothermal (HT) load on the panel is in-plane, whereas the mechanical load acts upon the structure transversely. The analysis has adopted various kinematic theories and finite element (FE) techniques to determine the deformations computationally. The deflection behavior of the composite is characterized through a macro mechanical model considering the nonlinearity in geometry with and without accounting for the stretching effects across the panel thickness. Additionally, the changes in composite properties due to the environment and/or loadings are adopted to achieve a realistic response, preserving continuity assumptions between the individual layers of the weakly bonded structure. Moreover, various numerical examples are examined through different models to illustrate the influences of environmental factors and design-specific parameters on the flexural strength of weakly bonded structures. The findings strongly emphasize the necessity of employing diverse kinematic models when examining laminated structures, both with and without HT loading, while also acknowledging the potential for debonding.</p>","PeriodicalId":49186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Mechanics","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140150704","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 this work, a thermal analogy method is employed for implementing the coupled chemo-mechanical model into the finite element (FE) package ABAQUS via user subroutines UMATHT and UMAT, which is used to model the lithium (Li) diffusion and the resulting deformation of the electrode during charge-discharge cycling. This work presents a Direct FE<sup>2</sup> method for modeling the chemo-mechanically coupled behavior of porous electrode materials by establishing the macro-microscopic scale transitions through concentration and displacement DOFs and the representative volume element (RVE) volume scaling relationship. The two-scale numerical simulations can be implemented in a single computational scheme. Within the present computational framework, the Li diffusion and mechanical deformation in the porous silicon electrode during charging and discharging are easily simulated in the typical FE package. Benchmarked against the traditional direct full-field numerical computational method, the Direct FE<sup>2</sup> method is validated to present significant computational efficiency improvements through two numerical examples, the constrained expansion and the pre-compression expansion of porous electrode, by 99.27% and 94.55%, respectively, while maintaining the high precision.</p>","PeriodicalId":49186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Mechanics","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140072159","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}

The new model’s stability condition was determined using the linear stability analysis method. The theoretical results reveal that traffic flow stability is influenced by the proportion of vehicles with different maximum speeds and safe headway, as well as the presence of on-ramps and off-ramps to a certain degree. Through the approximate perturbation method, the mKdV equation and the kink–antikink solution of the traffic density at the jam area are obtained. In order to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the new model, numerical simulations were conducted to demonstrate on/off ramp effect and different proportions of vehicles which possess bigger maximum velocity or safe space headway affect the traffic stability. The numerical results indicate that in heterogeneous traffic flow scenarios, increasing the ratio of vehicles which possess bigger maximum velocity or bigger safe space headway can lead to a deterioration of traffic stability. The effect of on-ramp could cause traffic instability, while the effect of off-ramp is beneficial for easing traffic congestion.</p>","PeriodicalId":49186,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Mechanics","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140072961","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}
