Moreover, an independent cover method by which a single physical domain is represented as one manifold element is also introduced. Different types of covers are coupled to simulate the uniaxial loading of mesoscopic concrete models, as well as a rock slope slumping model.

Thereafter, a bio-inspired FG-CNTR-TPMS material model is established through three typical triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) microstructures reinforced with CNTs and functionally graded (FG) schemes. The free vibration behavior of macro-scale plates made from FG-CNTR-TPMS materials under thermal effects and material temperature dependencies is then devised. A new higher-order shear deformation (HSDT) five-variable plate theory incorporated with isogeometric analysis (IGA) is proposed to show its reliability and efficiency. Various material conditions have been thoroughly studied, emphasizing the influence of CNT reinforcement states and environment temperatures. While increasing the CNT volume fraction (<span><math><msub><mrow><mi>f</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>r</mi></mrow></msub></math></span>) greatly improves the plate frequencies, the temperature rise (<span><math><mrow><mi>Δ</mi><mi>T</mi></mrow></math></span>) leads to an opposite influence. These properties can amplify or weaken the effects of porosity distributions on the plate’s natural frequencies both beneficial and unfavorable aspects. Notably, the outstanding elastic modulus of IWP-type TPMS enlarges the initial thermal stress and ratio between mechanical and thermal stiffness, causing greater impacts on plate behaviors in the thermal environment. In some exceptional cases, FG-CNTR-TPMS plates with P-type can exceed isotropic plates in stiffness-to-weight ratios, which is an extraordinary characteristic of porous structures. In various scenarios of CNT agglomeration, this natural phenomenon shows noticeable reductions in plate frequencies up to 40% when considering temperature changes. Bridging the gap between TPMS-based lattice structures and CNT-reinforced composites, this study contributes to advancing the knowledge of advanced bio-inspired materials.

The influences of inject particle diameter in slag accumulation are explored. Discrete particles with larger peak diameter cause lower total combustion efficiency, lower conversion rate of <em>Al</em>, and higher slag rate.

In comparison with conventional techniques (e.g., finite element method), the NN method enjoys the merits of meshless features, powerful ability to approximate complex interface geometries, and high accuracy. The current NN studies are mostly focused on elliptic interface problems. The methodology will cause difficulties for evolving (time-dependent) and moving interface problems. (a) The accuracy is also characterized by time discretization strategies; if the time step <span><math><mi>τ</mi></math></span> is small, the training time is unbearable. (b) At each time step, it is difficult to design the high-precision NNs because of involvement of complex interfaces, especially for the moving interfaces. This study is devoted to proposing the high-precision NN methods for the evolving and moving interface problems. The first method is based on the time stepping scheme. In every time step we develop piecewise extreme learning machine (ELM) to improve the accuracy of space discretization and reduce the training time. As a consequence, the optimal overall error with respect to the time, <span><math><mrow><mi>O</mi><mrow><mo>(</mo><mi>τ</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow></mrow></math></span>, is achieved (for the backward Euler method).
