For particles with small aspect ratios, efficient horizontal migration ability is achieved at moderate magnetic interaction parameters, whereas elongated particles require stronger magnetic fields to compensate for geometry-induced changes in the characteristic action length of the Lorentz forces.

However, conventional formulations reported in the literature can exhibit singularity in certain cases, depending on the choice of the local coordinate system.

By decomposing the stress tensor, the total free energy is separated into crack-driving and non-driving components, and an effective phase-field stress is introduced to construct a stress update scheme suitable for elastoplastic constitutive modeling. To address large deformation issues during dynamic ductile fracture, an adaptive interpolation technique is employed, and an explicit formulation of the lumped phase-field stiffness matrix is developed to suppress numerical noise caused by material points crossing cell boundaries and to enhance computational accuracy in brittle-ductile transition simulations. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed method are validated through two benchmark examples: a single-edge notched tension test and a ductile fracture test of geomaterials.

Nevertheless, manufacturing defects with highly scattered features in AM metals dominate the scatter of their fatigue behavior. Among the traditional methodologies for predicting the fatigue life of AM metals, semiempirical mechanical models are often limited by incomplete prior assumptions for describing the mechanism of fatigue failure controlled by manufacturing defects. Meanwhile, machine learning (ML) models supported by limited volumes of experimental fatigue data are often considered unreliable and lack interpretability. To address these challenges, an interpretable physics-informed ML framework, integrated Fourier expansion-Kolmogorov Arnold networks (FE-KAN), has been developed. By integrating the physical constraints and the Fourier layer, FE-KAN can effectively assess and correct potential systematic errors in the fatigue life prediction results of the physics-driven models. The effectiveness of FE-KAN in improving the prediction performance has been examined on multiple datasets of AM metals, along with the validity of its interpretation. In contrast to other state-of-the-art methods, the superiority of FE-KAN is demonstrated in both prediction accuracy and interpretability.

Herein, we combine atomistic simulations with machine learning (ML) methods to establish a prediction model for GB energy and examine the correlation between GB energy and GB parameters. A large GB energy dataset that contains 100000 aluminum GBs of five macroscopic degrees of freedom (DOFs) was created by conducting a series of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Except for GB energy, the excess volume and excess centrosymmetry of GB were also calculated using the cut-off sphere model by MD to investigate their correlations with GB energy. The results indicate that the machine learning models are capable of precisely predicting the GB energy as a function of five GB DOFs, which is otherwise challenging for the conventional analytical approaches. Furthermore, the ML models using excess volume or excess centrosymmetry as input, respectively, have 10.6% and 12.9% higher prediction scores than the corresponding well-accepted theoretical linear models, indicating the high predictive accuracy of ML techniques. In addition, the effect of input features on the prediction performance of ML models, the feature importance analysis, and the relations between GB parameters (five GB DOFs, GB excess volume, and excess centrosymmetry) and GB energy are systematically discussed. The MD- and ML-based investigation in this study provides a deeper understanding of the relationship between GB energy-structure and offers a convenient and accurate method for predicting GB energy from GB parameters.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"42 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148614747","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}

While stiffness influences the resonant frequency, achieving stiffness tuning for customized Rayleigh wave bandgaps (RWBs) remains a significant challenge. Here, we propose a stiffness-tunable SM consisting of periodically arranged masses integrated with re-entrant structures. By adjusting the geometric parameters of the re-entrant units, the equivalent stiffness can be continuously tuned. Our analysis shows that although decreasing stiffness lowers the resonant frequency, excessive reduction causes the RWB width to shrink extremely. In contrast, tuning the stiffness to a moderate value yields a broad low-frequency RWB, with an onset frequency 16.4% lower and a relative bandwidth 13.7% larger than those of a topology-optimized design. Frequency-domain analyses further reveal surface-to-bulk wave conversion within the RWB, confirming the attenuation capability of the proposed SM. Simulations under seismic excitations show that a tailored SM reduces wave amplitudes by 42%. Moreover, an SM customized for metro-induced vibrations achieves a 65% attenuation in peak responses. By harnessing tunable stiffness in SMs, this work establishes a new design framework and structural paradigm for achieving customized RWBs, offering a promising pathway toward practical seismic protection.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"42 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148614205","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}

To address this challenge, this study develops an adaptive ensemble of surrogates with approximate upper bound function (AES-AUBF) for reliability analysis. The proposed framework integrates multiple polynomial chaos Kriging (PCK) surrogates through a novel weighting scheme, enabling dynamic adjustment of model importance according to both global accuracy and local predictive uncertainty. An approximate upper bound function (AUBF) is introduced within a Bayesian active learning framework to guide the sequential selection of new informative samples, effectively reducing epistemic uncertainty in failure probability estimation. Furthermore, a reward-based learning function allocation strategy is proposed to adaptively select the most effective learning function from a portfolio, while a parallel enrichment mechanism accelerates convergence by adding multiple samples per iteration. A hybrid error-based stopping criterion ensures termination at an optimal balance between accuracy and efficiency. Three numerical examples, including a nonlinear oscillator, a multi-branch series system, and the fatigue reliability assessment of a monopile-supported offshore wind turbine, are employed to investigate the performance of AES-AUBF. Results show that AES-AUBF achieves accuracy comparable to direct Monte Carlo simulation while significantly reducing the number of function evaluations.

The equation is solved analytically using DTM to obtain accurate solutions for temperature distribution and efficiency variations across different fin geometries and materials. The results reveal that fin with a higher taper ratio exhibit reduced temperature and efficiency due to increased thermal resistance and limited conduction at the base, while higher relative humidity decreases the performance as excess surface moisture suppresses the driving gradient for condensation-induced latent heat release. Among the profiles, the dovetail fin demonstrates good performance owing to its larger effective surface area and improved heat retention, the trapezoidal fin exhibits the lowest performance due to higher thermal resistance, and the rectangular fin displays intermediate characteristics. Copper fin with superior thermal conductivity enhances heat retention and efficiency, while aluminium fin offers advantages in lightweight design and corrosion resistance.

While clinical studies have demonstrated the association of irregular pulsation with aneurysm instability or rupture, the underlying biomechanical mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we utilized the coherent point drift algorithm combined with elastic theory and computational fluid dynamics to quantify biomechanical parameters of IAs with irregular pulsation based on 4D-CTA images. The methodology was applied to three patient-specific IAs with clinically confirmed irregular pulsation. Obtained results revealed that aneurysm wall regions with irregular pulsation generally displayed large wall displacement, which was either accompanied or not accompanied by high strain. Notably, large displacement or high strain could also be detected in some aneurysm wall regions without irregular pulsation, as well as in adjacent normal arteries. Hemodynamic simulations demonstrated the presence of low and oscillatory wall shear stress (WSS) in irregular pulsation regions. Comparisons between dynamic hemodynamic models (incorporating wall movement) and static hemodynamic models (with rigid walls) further revealed the role of irregular pulsation in amplifying WSS oscillation, which implies that the degradation of wall mechanics in aneurysm regions with irregular pulsation may interact with hemodynamic disturbance in a mutually reinforcing manner. In summary, the findings of our study suggest that quantifying biomechanical parameters in both the wall and sac of aneurysm may provide valuable insights for assessing the risk of IAs, particularly those exhibiting irregular pulsation.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"42 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148613646","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}
