Mean wind load induced incompatibility in nonlinear aeroelastic simulations of bridge spans

Zhitian ZHANG

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2019, Volume 13, Issue 3,   Pages 605-617 doi: 10.1007/s11709-018-0499-x

Abstract: Mean wind response induced incompatibility and nonlinearity in bridge aerodynamics is discussed, where the mean wind and aeroelastic loads are applied simultaneously in time domain. A kind of incompatibility is found during the simultaneous simulation of the mean wind and aeroelastic loads, which leads to incorrect mean wind structural responses. It is found that the mathematic expectations (or limiting characteristics) of the aeroelastic models are fundamental to this kind of incompatibility. In this paper, two aeroelastic models are presented and discussed, one of indicial-function-denoted (IF-denoted) and another of rational-function-denoted (RF-denoted). It is shown that, in cases of low wind speeds, the IF-denoted model reflects correctly the mean wind load properties, and results in correct mean structural responses; in contrast, the RF-denoted model leads to incorrect mean responses due to its nonphysical mean properties. At very high wind speeds, however, even the IF-denoted model can lead to significant deviation from the correct response due to steady aerodynamic nonlinearity. To solve the incompatibility at high wind speeds, a methodology of subtraction of pseudo-steady effects from the aeroelastic model is put forward in this work. Finally, with the method presented, aeroelastic nonlinearity resulted from the mean wind response is investigated at both moderate and high wind speeds.

Molecular level simulations on multi-component systems —a morphology prediction method

C. SCHMIDT, J. ULRICH

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2013, Volume 7, Issue 1,   Pages 49-54 doi: 10.1007/s11705-013-1307-8

Abstract: The crystal morphology grown from a solution composed of an organic solvent, solute and additive can be predicted reliably by a computational method. Modeling the supersaturated solution as liquid phase is achieved by employing commercial software. The molecular composition of this solution is a required input parameter. The face specific diffusion coefficient of the solid (crystal surface) and liquid (solution) system is determined using the molecular dynamics procedure. The obtained diffusion coefficient is related to the specific face growth rate via the attachment energy of the pure morphology. The significant improvements are achieved in the morphology prediction because the investigation on the face growth rates in a complex growth environment (as multi-component solutions with additives) can be carried out based on the diffusion coefficients.

Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of plasma-surface reactions on heterogeneous surfaces

Daniil Marinov

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2019, Volume 13, Issue 4,   Pages 815-822 doi: 10.1007/s11705-019-1837-9

Abstract: Reactions of atoms and molecules on chamber walls in contact with low temperature plasmas are important in various technological applications. Plasma-surface interactions are complex and relatively poorly understood. Experiments performed over the last decade by several groups prove that interactions of reactive species with relevant plasma-facing materials are characterized by distributions of adsorption energy and reactivity. In this paper, we develop a kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model that can effectively handle chemical kinetics on such heterogenous surfaces. Using this model, we analyse published adsorption-desorption kinetics of chlorine molecules and recombination of oxygen atoms on rotating substrates as a test case for the KMC model.

Finite element simulations of sheet metal forming under complex strain paths

CHEN Wei, YANG Jichang, WU Xiaofeng, LU Dun, GUO Weigang

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2007, Volume 2, Issue 4,   Pages 399-403 doi: 10.1007/s11465-007-0069-8

Abstract: Fracture is a common defect in sheet metal forming and it is essentially caused by tensile instability. This paper analyzes some experiments and theories for building forming limit diagrams of sheet metal and points out the advantages and disadvantages of current experiments and theories. According to this, a method that integrates the finite element simulation and experiment was used to research the forming limit diagrams of the sheet metal under complex strain paths. Taking the rear hanger that undergoes twice stamping as an example, the strain paths of the dangerous point of the rear hanger is investigated. Finally, the forming method of the rear hanger is confirmed. Results indicate that finite element method (FEM) can achieve the complex strain paths and different strain paths will have great impacts on the result of the sheet metal forming.

Burnett simulations of gas flow and heat transfer in microchannels

Fubing BAO, Jianzhong LIN

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2009, Volume 4, Issue 3,   Pages 252-263 doi: 10.1007/s11465-009-0037-6

Abstract: In micro- and nanoscale gas flows, the flow falls into the transition flow regime. There are not enough molecule collisions and the gas deviates from the equilibrium. The Navier-Stokes equations fail to describe the gas flow in this regime. The direct simulation Monte Carlo method converges slowly and requires lots of computational time. As a result, the high-order Burnett equations are used to study the gas flow and heat transfer characteristics in micro- and nanoscale gas flows in this paper. The Burnett equations are first reviewed, and the augmented Burnett equations with high-order slip boundary conditions are then used to model the gas flow and heat transfer in Couette and Poiseuille flows in the transition regime.
