Numerical comparisons reveal that first-order models fail to accurately represent nonzero net fluid flow and volume changes at the micro-scale. In contrast, our second-order approach effectively captures nonuniform fluid flow across representative volume element boundaries, in agreement with results from direct numerical simulations.

However, existing research assumes that the multi-material structures are joined by welding, adhesive, or other methods that do not support reassembly and disassembly and are unsuitable for manufacturing, limiting the practical application of topology optimization. An interlocking joint is a type of connection between two parts where the shapes of the parts are designed to fit together precisely, the multi-material structure joined by interlocking joints can be easily reassembled repeatedly. To solve the joint problem of multi-material structure, this study proposes an assemblable interlocking joint generation method for multi-material topology optimization, the connection between material components is achieved through compression at the joint areas. To generate the interlocking joints, a novel interfacial partial stress constraint is proposed by converting a part of the interface bearing tensile stress into the interface bearing compressive stress. A novel filtering process is used to control the shape of the interlocking joints and the filtered tensile stresses are integrated by a P-norm function. To constrain the distribution area of material components and ensure structural manufacturability, dimensional constraints are applied. The sensitivity is based on the topological derivative and adjoint variable method. The proposed method was applied to several numerical examples including one manufactured prototype to demonstrate its effectiveness and contribution to the practical application of topology optimization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55222,"journal":{"name":"Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering","volume":"433 ","pages":"Article 117475"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142550563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Application of this loading can also be required when additional physics is involved as in the case of hydraulic fracture where fluid physics inside a damage need to be considered. This paper presents a new Finite Element based practical numerical framework which can model pressure-driven fractures as they form on-the-fly without remeshing. The exact location of physical discontinuities passing through the element domain can be represented in the numerical model. The numerical framework can be implemented as a user-defined element and can be integrated into any FE package. A new element (called <em>pressure</em> element) is formulated with the capability to apply pressure and associated forces onto the crack surfaces in an adaptive manner. This element is verified using relevant examples from literature. The framework can also be configured for multi-physics problems where crack face loading is dictated by an additional physics. The element formulation is then extended for multi-physics problems involving fluid–solid interaction. The formulation provides the capability for multi-physics coupling adaptively as the crack propagates. The element is used to successfully simulate a test case from literature using different solution procedures (iterative and simultaneous). This element is also used to model failure in different pressure vessel problems to demonstrate its potential use in structural applications. A new higher-scale <em>vessel</em> element is developed which can represent different size, partitioning and failure states of composite vessel systems at element level. Composite vessel failure involving high number of pressurized cracks and delaminations as well as their interaction is modelled, and burst pressures are predicted for different vessel systems. The proposed numerical framework can be used towards designing more damage-tolerant vessels critical for the sustainable propulsion technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55222,"journal":{"name":"Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering","volume":"433 ","pages":"Article 117482"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142550567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the essential boundary conditions can be imposed more accurately. The Characteristic-Based Split (CBS) scheme is used to suppress oscillations due to the standard Galerkin discretization of the convective terms, and the pressure is further stabilized by the finite increment calculus (FIC) formulation. Hence, equal velocity-pressure interpolation and the incremental version of the split scheme can be used without inducing spurious oscillations. The developed extra-dof-free GFEM is very flexible and can achieve high-order spatial accuracy and convergence rates by adopting high-order polynomial enrichments. In particular, better accuracy could be obtained with special enrichments reflecting a-priori knowledge about the solution. This is demonstrated by numerical results.

These formulations are derived from a thermodynamical framework and are based on the multiplicative split of the deformation gradient in the context of hyperelasticity. Both Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations are derived in a consistent manner via some transport associated with the mapping, and use quantities consistent with those updated by the set of conservation or balance laws written in these two cases. These Eulerian and Lagrangian formulations aims at investigating the importance of non-linear kinematic hardening for bodies submitted to cyclic impacts in dynamics, where Bauschinger and/or ratchetting effects are expected to occur.
