This study develops a concurrent multiscale topology optimisation (CMTO) method under a prescribed stress constraint for designing porous composites with multi-domain microstructures. First, to address the difficulty of predicting local stress due to varying of microstructural type throughout the optimisation process, a continuous and differentiable stress measure is proposed to effectively approximate the local stress. Second, an inverse homogenisation method based on isogeometric analysis (IGA) is developed to improve the accuracy of stress prediction, and then it is integrated into a CMTO which is developed based on the discrete material optimisation (DMO) interpolation scheme. Third, a stress constraint which is differentiable with respect to both macro and micro design variables is proposed to enable the stress-constrained concurrent optimisation of the macrostructural configuration, microstructural configuration and distribution. Fourth, a novel post-processing approach is established to achieve smooth while volume preserving contour of unit cells with layouts. Finally, two benchmark design examples, namely l-bracket and Crack problems, are implemented using the presented CMTO under a global stress constraint to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The result indicates that the proposed method can effectively decrease the stress concentration via three design manners, i.e., the macrostructural configuration, microstructural configuration and distribution. Also, an “interface-enlarging” phenomenon was interestingly but reasonably found in those cases when subjected to stress-constraint considerations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"137 ","pages":"Article 115730"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142358343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The governing equations and accompanying boundary conditions are formulated simultaneously using the principle of virtual work and the fundamental lemma of the calculus of variation. Electromechanical interactions through static bending and forced vibration analyses of the newly developed model are systematically investigated. Under localized force excitation, the distribution of mobile charges is manipulated by tuning loading magnitudes and areas. The effects of doping levels on electric potentials and mobile charges are explored to show the interaction mechanism between flexoelectric and semiconducting properties. Moreover, the natural frequencies and modes of all mechanical displacements, electric potentials, and carrier concentration perturbations within the shell are identified.

The van der Pol equation is used to evaluate the interaction between the riser and the external shear flow. The nonlinear governing equations are established through Hamilton's principle, and they are discretized by the Galerkin method and solved via the Runge-Kutta method. The VIV responses calculated by the proposed nonlinear dynamic model are compared with the previously experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results, demonstrating the effectiveness and accuracy of the present theoretical method. The influences of the internal flow effect, the tension and the shear parameter of the external flow on the VIV responses of the riser are analyzed. The results show that when the internal flow effect is not considered, the transition of the external flow from uniform flow to shear flow leads to an increase in excited modes and a decrease in resonance responses of the riser in the cross-flow (CF) direction. Furthermore, with the increase of the external shear flow velocity, resonances at different positions of the riser are not synchronized, which is different from that of the riser in uniform flow. In the case of the riser conveying gas-liquid two-phase flow and being subjected to external uniform or shear flow, the increase in the velocity of the liquid phase leads to an increase in the maximum response amplitudes of the riser in the in-line (IL) and axial directions. When the internal flow changes from single-phase to gas-liquid two-phase, the maximum VIV responses of the riser in the IL and axial directions tend to decrease regardless of whether the riser is in uniform flow or shear flow.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"137 ","pages":"Article 115728"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142416379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through careful imposition of boundary conditions and subsequent elimination of arbitrary constants, we derive a complex dispersion relation governing the propagation of Love-type waves.

To represent our findings, we conduct extensive calculations and graphical simulations illustrating the influence of various material parameters such as heterogeneity, porosity, volume fraction of fractures, sandiness, magnet-oelastic coupling, angle at which wave crosses the magnetic field, and layer thickness on the dispersive nature of Love-type waves using MATHEMATICA software. Furthermore, we conduct case-specific analyses, revealing instances where the dispersion equation simplifies to the standard Love wave equation, thereby validating our mathematical framework.

By treating superimposed effective stresses as self-similar, a semi-analytical solution is derived for solving the cavity expansion-contraction problem.
