Mesh d-refinement: a data-based computational framework to account for complex material response

Jean-François Molinari, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Sacha Zenon Wattel

Model-free data-driven computational mechanics (DDCM) is a new paradigm for simulations in solid mechanics. The modeling step associated to the definition of a material constitutive law is circumvented through the introduction of an abstract phase space in ...

Flexible beam in R3 under large overall motions and Asynchronous Variational Integrators

Tudor Ratiu, Yves Weinand, François Gay-Balmaz, François Marie Alain Demoures

The theory of discrete variational mechanics has its roots in the optimal control literature of the 1960's. The past ten years have seen a major development of discrete variational mechanics and corresponding numerical integrators, due largely to pioneerin ...

Convection of water vapour in snowpacks

Michael Lehning, Varun Sharma, Mahdi Jafari

This paper studies numerically the convection of water vapour in snowpacks using an Eulerian-Eulerian two-phase approach. The convective water vapour transport in snow and its effects on snow density are often invoked to explain observed density profiles, ...

Friction force: from mechanics to thermodynamics

Christian Gruber

We study some mechanical problems in which a friction force is acting on a system. Using the fundamental concepts of state, time evolution and energy conservation, we explain how to extend Newtonian mechanics to thermodynamics. We arrive at the two laws of ...

A simplified modeling method for multi-particle damper: Validation and application in energy dissipation analysis

Qianqing Wang

Particle dampers have received considerable attention in recent years as a novel damping technique. However, due to its high degree of nonlinearity, no mature damping model has been constructed. This article proposes an equivalent raft model that takes int ...

A geometrically exact model for thin magneto-elastic shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan

We develop a reduced model for hard-magnetic, thin, linear-elastic shells that can be actuated through an external magnetic field, with geometrically exact strain measures. Assuming a reduced kinematics based on the Kirchhoff-Love assumption, we derive a r ...

Prediction of crack nucleation and propagation in porous ceramics using the phase-field approach

Arata Nakajo

The relevance of the phase-field approach to simulate the fracture in porous ceramics has been investigated. For this purpose, the conditions for the crack initiation using the phase-field model have been compared to the theoretical predictions of the coup ...

A virtual microstructure generator for 3D stone masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

Detailed micromodel simulations of stone masonry walls require as input a 3D mesh that represents a realistic arrangement of stones in the masonry wall. In this paper, we constructed the first 3D masonry microstructures to derive 2D and 3D finite or discre ...

DIC Challenge 2.0: Developing Images and Guidelines for Evaluating Accuracy and Resolution of 2D Analyses

Edward Carlo Giorgio Andò

Background The DIC Challenge 2.0 follows on from the work accomplished in the first Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Challenge Reu et al. (Experimental Mechanics 58(7):1067, 1). The second challenge was required to better quantify the spatial resolution of ...

The N-Clock Model: Variational Analysis for Fast and Slow Divergence Rates of N

Matthias Benjamin Ruf

We study a nearest neighbors ferromagnetic classical spin system on the square lattice in which the spin field is constrained to take values in a discretization of the unit circle consisting of N equi-spaced vectors, also known as the N-clock model. We fin ...

An Introduction to the Mechanics of Incompressible Fluids

Michel Deville

This open access book allows the reader to grasp the main bulk of fluid flow problems at a brisk pace. Starting with the basic concepts of conservation laws developed using continuum mechanics, the incompressibility of a fluid is explained and modeled, lea ...

Structure-preserving approaches and data-driven closure modeling for model order reduction

Nicolò Ripamonti

In this thesis, we propose model order reduction techniques for high-dimensional PDEs that preserve structures of the original problems and develop a closure modeling framework leveraging the Mori-Zwanzig formalism and recurrent neural networks. Since high ...

Understanding the coherent structures for different fluctuation frequencies at partial load condition of a Francis turbine

François Avellan

More and more hydropower plants are operating as regulator of renewable energy such as solar and wind energy resources. Because these renewable energy resources are highly volatile, so hydraulic turbines have to switch working condition in a wide flow rang ...

On the Eringen model for nematic liquid crystals

Tudor Ratiu

We introduce the three-dimensional Eringen system of equations for the nematodynamics of liquid crystals, announce the short time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for the one-dimensional problem in the periodic case, and show the continuous dep ...

Accelerating the convergence to a limit cycle in 3D cardiac electromechanical simulations through a data-driven 0D emulator

Alfio Quarteroni

The results of numerical simulations of cardiac electromechanics are typically characterized by a long transient before reaching a periodic solution known as limit cycle. This yields a serious computational overhead, as the only clinically relevant output ...

Self-consistent triple decomposition of the turbulent flow over a backward-facing step under finite amplitude harmonic forcing

François Gallaire, Philippe Meliga, Eunok Yim

We investigate the saturation of harmonically forced disturbances in the turbulent flow over a backward-facing step subjected to a finite amplitude forcing. The analysis relies on a triple decomposition of the unsteady flow into mean, coherent and incohere ...
