The connections are defined as hinges with rotationally elastic restraints wherein each isosceles triangle is three neighboring rotating units while each right triangle is connected to four neighboring rotating units. The effective Poisson's ratio under on-axes loading were established using geometrical approach while the on-axes Young's moduli were developed by matching the spring rotational energy at the hinges of the metamaterial during relative rotation of the rigid units with the strain energy of deformation of the homogenized continuum. Results reveal that by adjusting the geometrical parameters, the Poisson's ratio can range from positive to negative values. The results also show that both the Poisson's ratio and Young's moduli have a wide range of geometrical parameters for fine tuning at low mechanical properties and well as a narrow range of geometrical parameters for coarse tuning at high mechanical properties. These observations suggest that the metamaterial has a wide range of applications from soft robotics to structural applications by adjustment of its geometrical parameters.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141821930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The numerical study involves a motorbike traveling in a straight line, where the AWK improves performance and safety by generating downforce to prevent lift. The geometry of the AWK uses a NACA 4412 airfoil with a span of 0.6 m. The computational mesh is generated using SnappyHexMesh and installed on a simplified motorbike to minimize the mesh skewness. The Navier–Stokes equations are solved with OpenFOAM CFD using the RANS k-ω SST and LES turbulence models. Case 1 compares a motorbike with and without a dummy, both equipped with the AWK varying the angle of attack (AoA) from 0 to -41 degrees. Case 2 studies the single wing at different wind speeds (i.e. 20, 60, and 100 m/s) to determine the highest downforce-to-drag ratio at an AoA of -37 degrees. These results serve as the basis for Case 3, which investigates non-parallel wing configurations with a fixed upper wing and a rotating lower wing. In Case 4, where both upper and lower wings rotate simultaneously as parallel wings, the peak downforce-to-drag ratio occurs at an AoA of -41 degrees. Finally, Case 5 modifies the AoA of -41 degrees of the parallel wing of Case 4 to a closed-wing version to comply with FIM safety regulations. With the LES turbulence model, unsteady and complex turbulence structures can be visualized using the Q-criterion. A comparison of the time-averaged lift coefficient between the wingless and closed-wing configurations shows an increase in downforce of approximately 360%. Subsequently, the popularity of AWK will contribute to the safety of racing motorbike driving.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141343114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flow parameters in the vicinity of blade surfaces, which are required for the Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings (FW–H) equation, were calculated using ANSYS FLUENT. The numerical model was verified against the experimental re-sults from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Phase VI wind turbine blades. The coupling analysis was integrated with four Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes turbulence models and FW–H equation under various boundary conditions. The standard k-ε, SST k-ω, and V2f turbulence models produced results in agreement with the available experimental pressure coefficient and relative velocity distribution data in the flow fields. Under the verification of aeroacoustic results, the SST k-ω turbulence model were more consistent with the LES data. An Institute of Nuclear Energy Research (INER) 25-kW HAWT was employed to predict noise frequency distribution at nine points on the tower on the windward and leeward sides under different operating conditions. Noise frequency distributions on the windward and leeward sides exhibited slight differences, whereas those on the left and right sides of the tower were different because of wind-shear influence. Under operating conditions, the decibels of the low-frequency noise at 0–200 Hz were ∼25–40 dB, and the noise frequency distributions on the windward and leeward sides were similar. With increasing distance, the decibel number of the monitoring point ∼25 m away dropped to 0 dB. For the noise prediction in Case 2 (wind speed = 12 m/s, pitches = 18°), the decibel number at 50 m was ∼25 dB and was ∼15 dB at 70 m. In Case 3 (wind speed = 18 m/s, pitches = 33°), the decibel number at 50 m was ∼30 dB and was ∼20 dB at 70 m. The peak amplitude of the noise was inversely proportional to the increasing distance from the tower but proportional to the wind and rotational speeds.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141358909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analytical solutions are possible because of assuming constant valued apparent hydrodynamic slip lengths in the linearized kinematic slip conditions, and our solutions can be validated against the limiting results of Newtonian fluids, no-slip conditions, or a single rotating sphere reported in previous literature. Comprehensive systematic parametric studies show that (additional to the power-law fluid flow behavior index) the degree of hydrodynamic slip at the inner surface is the dominant factor that determines the limiting values of the viscous torque exerted on the inner sphere as the outer-to-inner radius ratio assumes significantly large values. Nonetheless, the flow behavior index and outer slip length prove to be the crucial key parameters responsible for a variety of torque responses, which can be categorized by a compact analytical expression, as the outer-to-inner radius ratio is increased in the small to moderate regime. We propose a criteria which identifies the proper slip length and outer-to-inner radius ratio combinations for a given power-law flow behavior index such that the hydrodynamic slip wall effects of the outer surface can be minimized or eliminated. A simple method is also presented to characterize and quantify the apparent hydrodynamic slip effects by use of the concentric rotating spheres viscometer.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141356439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The input parameters spindle speed (SS), tool pin length (TPL), and traversing speed (TS) were each tested at three levels. The impact of these parameters on weld quality was analyzed using ANOVA. Optimization of the process to achieve desired temperature and tensile strength was carried out using grey relational analysis (GRA) for both experimental and simulated results. Mathematical models were generated using the multi-variable regression method (MVRM) and response surface method (RSM). Predicted data from the RSM model were compared to experimental outcomes, revealing a maximum deviation of 8.69% for temperature and 5.17% for tensile strength.

Different from the mass-spring model usually used, the circular plate model and cylinder model are respectively established to clarify the relationship between the vibration characteristics (including natural frequency and vibration mode) and their influencing factors of rock by modal analysis. The effect of dimension, geometric shape, and boundary condition on the vibration characteristics of rock with plate structure is investigated, in which the semi-analytical solutions agree well with the simulation results. By using the cylinder model based upon the Lamé-Navier Eq., the effect of such influencing factors on the vibration characteristics of the block rock sample is further studied and verified by numerical simulation and experimental results. The results suggest that the natural frequency of “rock” (including the experimental rock sample) is strongly dependent on the dimension, geometric shape, and boundary condition. The resonance frequency observed in the excitation experiment is not only closely associated with the natural frequency of a specific order, but also dependent on the dominance of the particular vibration mode. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the rock-breaking mechanism under dynamic loads with a certain excitation frequency.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141103246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on the irregular echinoid Claviaster libycus, investigating its flow field and scour behavior under extreme water flow conditions through numerical simulations and experiments. The numerical model Splash3D used in this study was modified from the open-source code Truchas developed by the U.S. National Laboratory. Splash3D solves the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes Eqs.. The fluid volume method describes the water surface kinematics and sand surface kinematics. Since Claviaster libycus is semi-submerged in the sand, a discontinuous bi-viscosity model describes the rheological behavior of the bed material. The research findings indicate that when the gonopore of Claviaster libycus faces downstream, there is no evident horseshoe vortex flow, which contributes to reducing the occurrence of localized scour. This also validates the hypothesis of this study: the transition of echinoids from pentaradial symmetry to bilateral symmetry assists in stabilizing bottom sediments and reducing localized scour.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141111700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
