The positive-curvature arc is one of the most fundamental and difficult-to-form features of complex cross-sections. However, its wrinkling mechanism in the THFG process cannot be explained by the existing theory. This restricts the application of the technology. First, because of the bending deformation caused by the excessive circumferential force, compression instability occurs at the positive-curvature arc part. This results in wrinkling similar to that in the conventional linear part. In addition, owing to the existence of the positive-curvature arc, the circumferential force produces a component force along the vertical direction that causes rigid displacement of the materials. This yields another new instability model: motion instability. The corresponding critical pressures for the two instability models were determined by adopting static method and energy methods respectively. Theoretically, motion instability is dominant in the early stages of compression, whereas compression instability is dominant in the subsequent stages. However, considering actual production, the correlations between the critical pressures of the different parts were compared. The wrinkling of the linear part inhibits the occurrence of compression instability in the positive-curvature arc. Thus, wrinkling of the arc can be caused only by motion instability. Therefore, the critical pressure for motion instability is defined as the critical pressure required for the positive-curvature arc. In addition, a forming window that considers the critical pressure of each part was established successfully.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design","volume":"20 4","pages":"805 - 831"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139581725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, prestress-controlled acoustic metamaterials have emerged as an effective solution. However, most existing studies fail to meet the requirements for achieving broadband acoustic control in the low-frequency range (below 600 Hz). Therefore, this study introduced a negative Poisson’s ratio structure, utilizing the so-called “trampoline effect,” building on previous research to design a low-frequency, broadband negative Poisson’s ratio structure acoustic metamaterial (NPRS-SC). It utilizes compression, rather than tension, conditions to control BGs. Numerical results indicate that the first low-frequency BG of NPRS-SC ranges from 66.1 to 281.1 Hz, with a lower starting frequency and broader stopband compared to traditional structures. It also demonstrates superior vibration damping performance. Importantly, by introducing compressive prestress conditions, the BG range can be gradually expanded, enhancing vibration damping performance. Specifically, when the strain value <i>λ</i> is set to − 0.03, NPRS-SC’s first low-frequency BG can cover 85% of the frequency range below 600 Hz. Lastly, this study analyzes the influence of NPRS-SC’s geometric parameters on its first low-frequency BG and vibration transmission performance. This research provides essential references and guidance for designing tunable, low-frequency, broadband acoustic metamaterials, offering robust support for future developments in acoustic control technology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design","volume":"20 5","pages":"959 - 972"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139518479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, the inherent structural complexities of TRBs have led to non-uniform deformation during forming processes, thereby compromising elongation and formability. In this study, an exploration into the deformation of TRBs under uniaxial tensile conditions is elucidated, centering specifically on TRBs transitioning from a thickness of 1–2 mm over a 100 mm span. An assessment of the properties of TRBs following partial annealing is conducted, and mechanisms responsible for thickness variations and the revelation of intrinsic mechanical traits are identified through microstructural examinations. Exploration of the mechanical behavior of TRBs under tension is undertaken, and a methodological approach for optimizing the distribution of mechanical properties is proposed. Validation is achieved through the employment of finite element models, showcasing a performance improvement in the optimized TRBs, with uniform elongation rates surpassing those of non-optimized TRBs by up to 197%. Moreover, an outperformance of uniform-thickness materials by up to 51% is exhibited by the optimized TRBs. These insights are anticipated to bolster the application and efficiency of TRBs across various engineering sectors, aligning coherently with the intelligent design and advanced materials implications within the realm of mechanics and materials in design, as spotlighted by \"The International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design\". This exploration intricately intertwines mechanics, material engineering, and intelligent design, offering a comprehensive view that stands to fortify the symbiotic relationship between advanced materials and the design process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design","volume":"20 4","pages":"777 - 804"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139495109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these applications, the strip is developing thinner and wider, and its flexibility is also strengthening. The vibration of the sinking roller has an increasingly significant impact on its product quality. A theoretical model was established to study the sink roller immersed in fluids, and modal tests and corresponding finite element simulations were carried out to study the sink roller's characteristics. The effects of roller density, wall thickness, fluid density, viscosity, and constraint conditions on modal characteristics were investigated. The results were well-validated, and the modal tests in air with and without a rod have high consistency, proving the reliability. The first six peak values of FRF curves are clear when immersed in water and hydraulic oil, but only the first three are evident in glycerin. It is observed that the viscosity of glycerin has a minor effect on natural frequencies, but the added damping factor grows when viscosity increases. The added mass factor rises linearly with the growth of wall thickness or liquid density while decreasing when the structure's density increases. The added mass factors of the (1,2)th and (2,2)th modes are more significant than the bending modes. A rigid-body displacement occurs at the constrained end journal of bending mode for rollers in liquids. Liquid density is the main factor affecting natural frequencies, especially for aluminum rollers. The maximum frequency growth rates under the constrained state of the steel and aluminum rollers in water are 5.7% and 20.4%, respectively, on the (2,2)th mode. Moreover, it increases with the increase of liquid density and viscosity, which leads to higher resonance probability. It can provide a basis for the dynamics research of similar systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":593,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design","volume":"20 4","pages":"717 - 742"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139501469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, random forest (RF), support vector machine, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), light gradient boosting machine, categorical gradient boosting (CatBoost), and natural gradient boosting techniques were used in the present study, to understand mechanical properties of ECC meanwhile these properties are crucial for design codes and developing new reliable models for mixtures. The discrepancy between the ML technique and specific ECC expected outputs is novel in this study and will aid researchers in better understanding of ECC features. To estimate the CS and TSt of the ECC, 2535 and 1469 input data points, respectively, were incorporated based on the material ratio, W/B, and different properties of the fibers. In addition, hyperparameter optimization techniques have also been used in ML to improve over fitting and make the model more accurate and robust. Moreover, an error analysis was highlighted between the actual and predicted CS and TSt of the ECC with each ML technique. Also, the significance and influence of the variable inputs that affect the CS and TSt were explained using the Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) approach. Among all approaches, CatBoost and XGBoost predicted the CS and TSt of ECC with greater accuracy than other techniques in terms of the coefficient of determination (R²), mean square error, mean absolute error, root mean square error, and symmetric mean absolute percentage error. The training and testing R² values of CatBoost and XGBoost for predicting the CS and TSt of ECC were 0.96, 0.89, 0.89, and 0.76, respectively.
