The increased accuracy we achieve with the IGA is in the flow solution, in representing the problem geometry, and, when we use the IGA basis functions also in time in a space–time (ST) framework, in representing the motion of solid surfaces. It is of course as part of a set of methods that the IGA has been very effective in computational aerodynamics, including complex-geometry aerodynamics. The set of methods we have been using can be categorized into those that serve as a core method, those that increase the accuracy, and those that widen the application range. The core methods are the residual-based variational multiscale (VMS), ST-VMS, and arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian VMS methods. The IGA and ST-IGA are examples of the methods that increase the accuracy. The complex-geometry IGA mesh generation method is an example of the methods that widen the application range. The ST Topology Change method is another example of that. We provide an overview of these methods for IGA-based computational aerodynamics and present examples of the computations performed. In computational flow analysis with moving solid surfaces and contact between the solid surfaces, it is a challenge to represent the boundary layers with an accuracy attributed to moving-mesh methods and represent the contact without leaving a mesh protection gap.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42833550","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 requirements for utilizing a full structural weld overlay, including the weld overlay design, effects of welding residual stresses (WRSs), impacts of weld shrinkage, prediction of potential flaw growth, and influence on ASME Code Section III design evaluations, are further defined in ASME Code Case N-504–2. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the weld overlay design of the nozzle, the WRSs following overlay installation were determined using engineering simulation software. The impacts of weld shrinkage from overlay welding are also addressed. The shrinkage stresses were evaluated via a numerical model of the attached piping system to ensure the design margins of the pipe structure. Since the weld overlay technique is well known to be effective in mitigating crack initiation or cracking to leakage, a fatigue crack growth prediction under ASME Code Section XI must be conducted to address the fatigue qualification of the affected component. The ASME Code Section III construction qualification of the whole nozzle region must consider the applicable thermal transient stresses, structural discontinuities, and bimetallic effects that are caused by the weld overlay. This investigation proves that the current stress analyses of the nozzle and the pipe structure are not significantly affected by the added overlay mass, so the structural integrity of the component can be ensured, meeting the requirements of ASME Code Case N-504–2.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61542385","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 results obtained using PSP were found to be consistent with those obtained from conventional pressure sensors. The study revealed that the pressure distribution within the cavities changed with increasing L/D, and cavities with different trailing edge shapes demonstrated a reduction in pressure at the bottom region. Furthermore, the comparison of results obtained through the oil flow method corroborated the PSP findings, indicating that a beveled or sawtooth-shaped trailing edge of the cavity induced air flow deflection, effectively disrupting the upstream shear flow structure and altering the pressure distribution at the cavityʼs bottom.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134967714","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}

Other than high heat transfer, low pressure drop is also desired to improve the energy efficiency of the pumping system. This work numerically investigates the microtube length effect on heat transfer and pressure drops of convective boiling with the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The simulation results of vapor formation, heat transfer coefficient, and pressure drop are shown with different microtube lengths L = 2–20 mm. The onset of boiling is around 2 mm away from the mass flux inlet. The subcooled boiling regime can be observed between 2 and 10 mm. Three distinct regimes, liquid single-phase flow, bubbly flow, and plug flow, are shown in the longer microtubes (L = 15 mm and 20 mm). It is found that shorter microtubes can lead to less bubble formation with higher heat transfer and lower pressure drop. The average heat transfer coefficient can achieve 2432 W/(m2K) with a lower quasi-steady total pressure drop Δp|total of 32.8 Pa inside a 2-mm-long microtube. This work offers a detailed study of the impact of microtube length on convective boiling, along with pertinent physical insights. It may serve as an indicator for future microscale heat transfer application designs.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135211540","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}

In this study, uniaxial tensile tests were carried out to observe changes in the size of the strain localization zone during the loading of aluminum and low-carbon steel. The initial and final states of the two metallic materials during deformation localization were compared. The strain localization zone shrank gradually with the increase in the load, which agrees with existing electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) results. This experimental phenomenon was further analyzed theoretically. By establishing the relationship between the material characteristic length and the damage, the variation of the material characteristic length was revealed, and the form of the nonlocal kernel function with a varying characteristic length was determined. The results demonstrated that within the framework of nonlocal damage theory, the nonlocal kernel function with a varying characteristic length can be used to satisfactorily simulate the gradual shrinkage of the strain localization zone of metallic materials with the damage evolution. Therefore, this study provides an effective theoretical tool for predicting the size of the strain localization zone.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":"301 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135550048","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}

A landslide necessarily begins its motion by accelerating from a halt. However, the role of landslide acceleration on the tsunami generated by a landslide remains understudied. Assuming an idealized configuration, in this study we cast the landslide acceleration problem as an extension to the existing knowledge on landslide-generated tsunamis above a flat sea bottom. By using the Green’s function approach, we derived new analytical solutions for the tsunami generated by an accelerating submarine landslide. Consistent with the observations in existing studies, we found that a slower landslide acceleration results in a longer but smaller leading submarine landslide tsunami wave. Based on a large number of numerical simulations, empirical formulas were established to quantify the wave modification factors due to landslide acceleration. Combining existing analytical solutions and the newly determined empirical formulas, we assembled semi-analytical solutions that can be easily used to predict the characteristics of the tsunami generated by an accelerating submarine landslide.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135653641","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 test has been applied to determine the biaxial bending strength of silicon dies to avoid the die edge effect of the three-point bending tests. However, from the literature, when the relatively thin silicon dies are tested, this test suffers from a contact-nonlinearity effect, due to a maximum applied stress moving away from the loading pin center before the specimen failure, and thus results in overestimated maximum stress calculated by the theoretical linear solution. This study aims to investigate this mechanical issue experimentally, theoretically and numerically by taking into account the specimen material anisotropy and thickness effects on the maximum stresses and deflections, and then propose new correction factor equations to the theoretical linear solutions, based on the numerical fitting results of the geometric nonlinear finite element solutions. Those correction factor equations proposed in this study are material-property independent, but specimen thickness dependent, which can be estimated by an interpolation function. It has been proved that the BoR test using the conventional theory associated with the proposed correction factor equations can successfully determine the bending strength of the thin silicon dies on untreated surfaces, which mostly fails in the contact-nonlinear region.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135839030","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}

To improve the recognition rate of turbocharger rotor faults, a recursive elimination method based on the support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) combined with improved Hu invariant moments is developed for the axial orbit feature extraction of turbocharger rotor with rotor fault. Firstly, improved Hu-invariant moments are extracted for different rotor fault axis orbits, and then the feature ranking and selection are performed by the SVM-RFE method to filter out the feature combinations with higher classification recognition rates. Then, the feature matrix of the Hu-SVM-RFE algorithm screening combination was identified for classification using each of the three diagnostic algorithms. The results show that the optimal feature subset obtained by the Hu-SVM-RFE method can ensure the richness of the fault information of the turbocharger rotor with small number of features. And, a high classification rate can be obtained with low time consumption in combination with the probabilistic neural network (PNN) algorithm. Therefore, Hu-SVM-RFE feature screening method combined with PNN fault diagnosis technology has high accuracy and efficiency, which is of great significance for online fault identification of the supercharger rotor.","PeriodicalId":50136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mechanics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135008438","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}
