To investigate the failure mechanisms of material interfaces, this study develops a coupled bonding-contact friction peridynamics (PD) interface model. The bond-based PD is employed to describe the bonding and debonding processes. For characterizing contact friction, a three-dimensional nonlocal contact friction model is proposed to capture the friction behavior following debonding. The model incorporates long-range forces to account for spatially distributed contact effects, enabling accurate representation of interface behavior during both sticking and sliding contact friction stages. The contact friction model is verified through a two-block sliding model and Brazilian splitting experiments. Results show that the PD simulations exhibit close agreement with the finite element method (FEM) and experimental results. Combined with the classical microbond test, the applicability of the proposed model across different scales in the entire interface failure process is confirmed. Accounting for friction reduces the error in simulating peak pull-out force from 20.8 % to 1.3 %. In addition, a steel rod-cement interface debonding experimental model is designed. By comparing simulation results with experimental data, the error in predicting the peak load is reduced from 12.9 % to 6 % when friction is included. Furthermore, including friction enables accurate representation of the bonding and friction evolution during interface failure.

Concurrently, the finite element method (FEM) has become a standard tool for analyzing the rolling process. Typically, two models are employed for the rolls during this analysis: the rigid body model and the elastic body model. However, employing a rigid body model reduces computational accuracy, while using an elastic body model results in lower computational efficiency. To address this issue, this study developed an approximate rigid body model. This model dynamically adjusts the displacement of the roll nodes within the rolling zone to ensure that the shape of the flattened roll remains consistent throughout the rolling process. This model accounts for roll flattening while avoiding the extensive computational time typically required to solve for roll deformation. In order to address the coupled deformation issues between roll deformation and plate deformation, a coupled model based on the approximate rigid body model has been established. This coupled model utilizes the FEM to calculate the deformation of the plate as well as the associated rolling force. Subsequently, the shape of the roll is updated in accordance with this force, and the plate's deformation is recalculated. This process is iteratively repeated until the rolling force converges to a predetermined standard. Upon verification, the proposed coupled model demonstrates excellent convergence. The results obtained using the coupled model closely align with those derived from the finite element model employing elastic rolls. Compared to experimental measurements, the prediction errors for both the rolling force and the plate thickness are within 3 %.

This study employs a custom-built Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) code to investigate the effects of heat extraction and porous layers on the thermal performance of SGSPs. The results reveal that both heat extraction and the presence of a porous layer effectively suppress thermosolutal convection, thereby enhancing the thermal stability of SGSP. Notably, increasing the heat extraction rate of each tube proves more effective for improving heat storage than adding more extraction tubes. While heat extraction inevitably reduces the thermal storage capacity of SGSP, incorporating a porous layer with lower permeability helps mitigate this effect, promoting long-term thermal storage and stable operation.
