利用弹性场分解和深度复杂神经网络提取界面相互作用
Extracting the nonlinear interactions across interfaces for cohesive zone modeling has always been challenging, yet critically important. Experimentally, obtaining displacement fields near discontinuities can be difficult, and tractions must be inferred, subject to assumptions that cannot always be met. The inverse extraction of cohesive laws often relies on forward modeling via the finite element method, which can be computationally cumbersome, particularly when iterative procedures that require many simulations are used in the extraction process. In this paper, a complex-valued neural network with an embedded displacement field solver that enables elastic field decomposition is developed. Furthermore, this inverse approach requires a limited amount of far-field data. With the full-field solution provided by the neural network, the near-tip fracture behavior of the interface is extracted in terms of cohesive laws. Specifically, the pseudo-elastic field surrounding the nonlinear fracture process zone is constructed with complex potentials represented by Jacobi polynomials with unknown coefficients. Subsequently, known probing fields, the interactive J-integral, and the Maxwell-Betti reciprocal work theorem are used to construct equations to solve for the coefficients of the Jacobi polynomials, thereby enabling the extraction of cohesive laws. Following successful validation that employed an alytically known fields, the robustness of the developed approach is demonstrated using experimental data collected from laminated beams with a range of interactions between them. The results confirm that interfacial interactions can be efficiently probed using elastic field decomposition, interactive integrals, and a deep complex neural network.
为内聚区建模提取跨接口的非线性相互作用一直是具有挑战性的,但也是至关重要的。在实验上,在不连续点附近获得位移场是很困难的,而且牵引力必须根据不能总是满足的假设来推断。内聚规律的逆提取通常依赖于通过有限元方法进行的正演建模,这在计算上可能很麻烦,特别是在提取过程中使用需要多次模拟的迭代过程时。本文提出了一种嵌入位移场求解器的复值神经网络,实现了弹性场分解。此外,这种反向方法需要有限数量的远场数据。利用神经网络提供的全场解,根据内聚规律提取界面近尖端断裂行为。具体而言,用未知系数的雅可比多项式表示的复势来构造非线性断裂过程区周围的伪弹性场。随后,利用已知探测场、相互作用j积分和Maxwell-Betti互反功定理构建方程,求解Jacobi多项式系数,从而提取内聚规律。在使用解析已知场的成功验证之后,使用从具有一系列相互作用的层压梁收集的实验数据证明了所开发方法的鲁棒性。结果表明,利用弹性场分解、交互积分和深度复杂神经网络可以有效地探测界面相互作用。

细胞单层变形、损伤和愈合分析的主动周动力学方法
Damage and fracture are ubiquitous in biological systems, spanning processes from embryogenesis to disease progression. Understanding the mechanis ms behind these events can yield insights that advance diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, as well as the design of engineered tissues and organoids. In this work, we develop a multiscale mechano-chemo-biological peridynamic framework for fracture a nalysis of cell monolayers. This approach integrates a catch–slip bond model with the peridynamic theory. Intercellular connections are modeled as cell–cell interfacial bonds, whose constitutive relation incorporates the catch–slip behavior with the bond failure described by a displacement-based cohesive criterion. Active deformation of these bonds is regulated by biochemical signals, such as actomyosin and RhoA, which in turn receive mechanical feedback through deformation-dependent diffusion and inhibition mechanis ms. Based on this formulation, key mechanical behaviors of cell monolayers, including large deformation, cracking, and healing processes, can be simulated. The robustness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a series of representative numerical examples. Simulations capture the spatiotemporal evolution of cracking patterns under pathological conditions, revealing a tight coupling between biochemical signaling and mechanical feedback. Notably, the curvature effect of cracking patterns in our simulations agree well with the experimental observations. This work provides a novel computational tool for a nalyzing fracture issues in various biological scenarios.
损伤和断裂在生物系统中是普遍存在的,跨越了从胚胎发生到疾病进展的过程。了解这些事件背后的机制可以促进诊断和治疗方法的发展,以及工程组织和类器官的设计。在这项工作中,我们开发了一个用于细胞单层断裂分析的多尺度力学-化学-生物周动力学框架。该方法将捕获滑移键模型与周动力学理论相结合。细胞间连接被建模为细胞-细胞界面键,其本构关系包含了由基于位移的内聚准则描述的捕获滑移行为和键破坏。这些键的主动变形是由生化信号调节的,如肌动球蛋白和RhoA,它们反过来通过变形依赖的扩散和抑制机制获得机械反馈。基于该公式,细胞单层的关键力学行为,包括大变形,开裂和愈合过程,可以模拟。通过一系列具有代表性的数值算例验证了该方法的鲁棒性。模拟捕获了病理条件下裂纹模式的时空演变,揭示了生化信号和机械反馈之间的紧密耦合。值得注意的是,在我们的模拟中,裂纹模式的曲率效应与实验观察结果吻合得很好。这项工作为分析各种生物学情景下的骨折问题提供了一种新的计算工具。

玻璃聚合物中水解降解和粘塑性的本构建模:一种有效的温度方法
Hydrolysis is the primary degradation mechanis m in biodegradable polymers in aqueous environments, involving water diffusion and polymer chain scission. These two processes dynamically alter the composition of the polymer, significantly influencing its thermomechanical properties and deformation behaviour. In this work, we develop a constitutive modelling approach that couples water diffusion, hydrolytic chain scission and viscoplastic deformation in glassy polymers. The effect of water concentration and hydrolytic degradation on the mechanical properties is captured through an effective temperature, reflecting the reduction in glass transition temperature brought about by water uptake and the reduction in average molecular weight. The model is calibrated using experimental data for polylactic acid (PLA), including thermo-mechanical characterisation in the wet degraded state and dry undegraded state at different temperatures. Our model accurately captures the evolution of molecular weight and water concentration distributions measured experimentally, and successfully predicts the deformation behaviour at different degradation stages. The potential of the model for weakly coupled simulations is also illustrated in representative case studies. Overall, this study supports the use of the effective temperature as a practical yet physically-motivated method for capturing the effect of degradation on mechanical properties, while providing a robust tool for the design and an alysis of degradable polymer devices.
水解是生物可降解聚合物在水环境中的主要降解机制,涉及水的扩散和聚合物链的断裂。这两个过程动态地改变了聚合物的组成,显著地影响了其热机械性能和变形行为。在这项工作中,我们开发了一种本构建模方法,将水扩散、水解链断裂和玻璃聚合物中的粘塑性变形耦合在一起。水浓度和水解降解对力学性能的影响是通过有效温度来捕捉的,反映了吸水带来的玻璃化转变温度的降低和平均分子量的降低。该模型使用聚乳酸(PLA)的实验数据进行校准,包括在不同温度下湿降解状态和干未降解状态下的热力学特性。我们的模型准确地捕捉了实验测量的分子量和水浓度分布的演变,并成功地预测了不同降解阶段的变形行为。该模型在弱耦合模拟中的潜力也在典型案例研究中得到了说明。总的来说,这项研究支持使用有效温度作为一种实用的物理动机方法来捕获降解对机械性能的影响,同时为可降解聚合物器件的设计和分析提供了一个强大的工具。

冷弯高强度不锈钢包覆双金属钢方空心截面的材料响应和轴压特性
As a novel type of high-performance steel, stainless-clad bimetallic steel (SCBS) exhibits excellent corrosion resistance compared to traditional carbon steel and a relatively lower material cost than stainless steel. The material performance of SCBS can be further improved by employing high strength steel as the substrate material. This study investigates the material properties and axial compression behaviour of cold-formed high strength stainless-clad bimetallic steel (HSSCBS) square hollow sections (SHSs) through laboratory tests and numerical simulations. The material properties of HSSCBS and its constituent stainless steel and high strength steel were obtained through tensile coupon tests. Residual stresses were measured for typical SHSs with different clad ratios, with membrane and bending residual stress predictive models proposed. Axial compression tests were conducted on twelve HSSCBS SHS stub column specimens fabricated from four sizes of cross-sections and three clad ratios. Subsequently, single-layer and double-layer finite element models were developed and validated based on the test results, with the validated single-layer finite element model selected to carry out parametric studies. The test and numerical results were employed to assess the accuracy of current design codes when used for the design of HSSCBS SHSs under axial compression. It was found that all current design codes are generally applicable to HSSCBS SHSs in terms of cross-section slenderness limits, but conservative cross-section resistance predictions were observed for certain design codes. Therefore, an improved design method was proposed and assessed accordingly.
不锈钢包层双金属钢(SCBS)作为一种新型高性能钢,具有比传统碳钢更优异的耐腐蚀性能和比不锈钢更低的材料成本。采用高强度钢作为基体材料,可进一步提高SCBS的材料性能。通过室内试验和数值模拟,研究了冷弯高强度不锈钢包层双金属钢(HSSCBS)方形空心型材(SHSs)的材料性能和轴压行为。通过拉伸试验,获得了HSSCBS及其组份不锈钢和高强钢的材料性能。对不同包覆比的典型SHSs进行了残余应力测量,并建立了薄膜残余应力和弯曲残余应力预测模型。采用4种截面尺寸和3种包覆比,对12根HSSCBS - SHS短柱试件进行了轴压试验。随后,根据试验结果建立单层和双层有限元模型并进行验证,选择验证的单层有限元模型进行参数化研究。通过试验和数值计算,对现行设计规范在轴压下设计HSSCBS - SHSs时的准确性进行了评价。研究发现,现行设计规范对HSSCBS - SHSs的截面长细限值普遍适用,但对某些设计规范的截面阻力预测较为保守。因此,提出了一种改进的设计方法,并对其进行了评价。

GFRP夹层腹板注入螺栓连接件剪切疲劳寿命:载荷比和老化的影响
The durability of bridge connections is critical for the long-term performance of bridge systems with GFRP composite decks. This study investigates the shear fatigue behaviour of injected Steel Reinforced Resin (iSRR) connectors embedded in FRP composite decks, through a series of fatigue tests performed under different load ratios and exposure conditions. Twenty-four connectors are examined: twelve unaged reference specimens, eight specimens tested under varying R ratios, two connectors with deck parts submerged in water and two subjected to outdoor aging, both for a duration of one year. The results show that, despite the composite nature of the connector, the load ratio and mean load level have minimal influence on fatigue life. Instead, fatigue performance in the high-cycle regime is governed primarily by the applied load range. A unified F-N curve including all R ratios was developed, demonstrating the consistency of this trend and enabling fatigue-life prediction across different loading conditions. Environmental exposure led to measurable stiffness degradation but did not significantly alter fatigue life. These findings highlight the robustness of the iSRR connector and support its application in durable GFRP-steel hybrid bridge systems.
桥梁连接的耐久性对GFRP复合桥面桥梁体系的长期性能至关重要。本研究通过在不同载荷比和暴露条件下进行的一系列疲劳试验,研究了嵌入FRP复合材料甲板中的注入钢增强树脂(iSRR)连接器的剪切疲劳行为。检查了24个连接器:12个未老化的参考样品,8个在不同R比下测试的样品,两个连接器甲板部分浸在水中,两个经受室外老化,均持续一年。结果表明,尽管连接器具有复合材料性质,但载荷比和平均载荷水平对疲劳寿命的影响最小。相反,在高周状态下的疲劳性能主要由所施加的载荷范围决定。开发了包含所有R比的统一F-N曲线,证明了这一趋势的一致性,并实现了不同负载条件下的疲劳寿命预测。环境暴露导致可测量的刚度退化,但没有显著改变疲劳寿命。这些发现突出了iSRR连接器的坚固性,并支持其在耐用gfrp -钢混合桥梁系统中的应用。

含不同几何孔的三维四向编织复合材料管压缩性能及破坏机理
This study investigates the open-hole compression behavior and failure mechanis ms of three-dimensional four-directional (3D4D) braided composite tubes with circular, racetrack, and square holes under axial loading, using integrated experimental and numerical approaches. A macro-micro coupling model was developed to perform progressive damage an alysis on the three open-hole configurations. Numerical results indicate that the compressive strength of notched specimens decreased by approximately 34% compared to unnotched specimens, while the elastic modulus remained largely unchanged. Although hole geometry significantly affected local stress distribution, its influence on compressive strength was negligible. Primary failure modes included fiber breakage and fibre pull-out near the hole edges. Experimentally, compression tests were conducted on both unnotched and notched specimens, with full-field strain distributions captured using digital image correlation (DIC). The results validated the numerical an alysis. Research findings indicate that stress concentration around the holes is predominantly distributed along the yarns, constituting the primary cause of premature failure. Damage evolution within braided composite with cutouts arises from the combined effects of hole geometry, braided structure, and component properties. These findings provide insight into the design and optimization of 3D braided composite tubes containing holes of different geometries.
采用实验和数值相结合的方法,研究了圆孔、径孔和方孔三维四向编织复合材料管在轴向载荷作用下的裸眼压缩行为和破坏机制。建立了宏微观耦合模型,对三种裸眼结构进行了逐级损伤分析。数值结果表明,缺口试件的抗压强度比未缺口试件降低了约34%,而弹性模量基本保持不变。虽然孔的几何形状对局部应力分布有显著影响,但其对抗压强度的影响可以忽略不计。主要的破坏模式包括孔边缘附近的纤维断裂和纤维拔出。实验中,对未缺口和缺口试样进行了压缩试验,并使用数字图像相关(DIC)捕获了全场应变分布。结果验证了数值分析的正确性。研究结果表明,孔洞周围的应力集中主要沿纱线方向分布,是导致孔洞过早破坏的主要原因。具有切口的编织复合材料内部的损伤演化是由孔洞几何形状、编织结构和构件性能的综合作用引起的。这些发现为包含不同几何形状孔的三维编织复合管的设计和优化提供了见解。

外压作用下带磨损缺陷蒸汽发生器管塑性屈曲行为的量化
In this paper, systematic FE ana lysis of tubes with flat wear defects is performed to investigate plastic buckling and subsequent post-buckling behaviors of steam generator tubes with flat, rectangular wear defects under external pressure. The FE model and an alysis are validated by comparing with published experimental and numerical data. It is found that the second (2nd) buckling mode may occur after the first (1st) buckling mode, depending on the tube geometry. From systematic FE an alysis results, the 1st and 2nd buckling pressures were quantified using quadratic function in terms of defect depth, tube geometry (radius-to-thickness ratio) and material (yield strength). The condition for the occurrence of the 2nd buckling mode is also provided. It is also found that the occurrence of the 2nd buckling mode changes the stress state in the tube.

提高金属纤维层合板力学性能:层间加固工艺及层合结构优化的影响
An accurate an alysis of the damage mechanis ms of carbon fiber/ultra-thin stainless-steel fiber metal laminates (CUSFMLs) under low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression-after-impact (CAI) loading conditions is important for studying the damage tolerance of aerospace structures. The core innovation of this study lies in enhancing the damage tolerance and residual strength of CUSFMLs by multi-interface effect which broadens their application scope within the industry. Different types of specimens were prepared via the surface treatment of ultra-thin stainless-steel (UTSS), incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified adhesives and altering the lay-up sequence of the carbon fiber prepreg and UTSS. Subsequently, LVI and CAI tests were conducted on these specimens. Combined with three-dimensional (3D) digital image correlation technology, finite element an alysis, scanning electron microscopy, and 3D computed tomography scanning, the impact resistance and residual strength of the CUSFMLs were investigated. The results indicated that the interlaminar reinforcement process and optimization of the lay-up structure reduced the out-of-plane displacement of the back side after impact by 41.5% and 37.1%, respectively. These improvements effectively decreased the dent depth and damage area after impact, thereby enhancing the impact resistance of CUSFMLs. Moreover, the multi-interface effect arising from lay-up structure optimization dispersed the in-plane compressive loads by mitigating localized buckling deformations and facilitating complex matrix crack propagation pathways. Overall, the interlaminar reinforcement process proposed in this study significantly improved the mechanical properties of CUSFMLs. This method can be extended to the preparation of other fiber metal laminates for aerospace applications.
准确分析碳纤维/超薄不锈钢纤维金属层压板在低速冲击和冲击后压缩载荷作用下的损伤机理,对研究航空航天结构的损伤容限具有重要意义。本研究的核心创新点在于利用多界面效应提高cusfml的损伤容限和残余强度,拓宽了cusfml在行业中的应用范围。通过对超薄不锈钢(UTSS)进行表面处理,加入多壁碳纳米管(MWCNT)改性胶粘剂,改变碳纤维预浸料和UTSS的铺层顺序,制备了不同类型的试样。随后,对这些标本进行LVI和CAI测试。结合三维(3D)数字图像相关技术、有限元分析、扫描电镜和三维计算机断层扫描,对cusfml的抗冲击性能和残余强度进行了研究。结果表明:层间加固工艺和层间结构优化可使撞击后后侧的面外位移分别降低41.5%和37.1%;这些改进有效地减小了撞击后的凹痕深度和损伤面积,从而提高了cusfml的抗冲击性。此外,分层结构优化产生的多界面效应通过减轻局部屈曲变形和促进复杂基体裂纹扩展路径来分散面内压缩载荷。总体而言,本研究提出的层间强化工艺显著改善了CUSFMLs的力学性能。该方法可推广到其它航空航天用金属纤维层压板的制备中。
