Prediction of significant wave height; comparison between nested grid numerical model, and machine learning models of artificial neural networks, extreme learning and support vector machines

Abstract: Estimation of wave height is essential for several coastal engineering applications. This study advances a nested grid numerical model and compare its efficiency with three machine learning (ML) me...

Computation of limit and shakedown loads using a node‐based smoothed finite element method

Abstract: SUMMARY This paper presents a novel numerical procedure for computing limit and shakedown loads of structures using a node-based smoothed FEM in combination with a primal–dual algorithm. An associated primal–dual form based on the von Mises yield criterion is adopted. The primal-dual algorithm together with a Newton-like iteration are then used to solve this associated primal–dual form to determine simultaneously both approximate upper and quasi-lower bounds of the plastic collapse limit and the shakedown limit. The present formulation uses only linear approximations and its implementation into finite element programs is quite simple. Several numerical examples are given to show the reliability, accuracy, and generality of the present formulation compared with other available methods. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The mechanical properties of three types of carbon allotropes

Abstract: The mechanical properties of supergraphene, cyclicgraphene and graphyne are studied using molecular dynamics simulations based on the AIREBO potential. In particular, we present the chirality-dependence of their mechanical properties, including Young's moduli, shear moduli, Poisson's ratios, ultimate strength and ultimate strains. The relationship of their Young moduli, shear moduli and Poisson ratios is in the order of Y(su) (super) v(cy) > v(gy) > v(ge) in corresponding zigzag and armchair sheets, respectively. Their intersheet adhesion energy is obtained as γ(su) = 30, γ(cy) = 99 and γ(gy) = 149 mJ m(-2), which are much lower than that of γ(ge) = 291 mJ m(-2) (the value is in good agreement with the latest experimental result γ(ge) = 310 ± 30 mJ m(-2)). The obtained adhesion energy is accurately characterized by continuum modeling of the van der Waals interactions. Our study is very useful for the future applications of graphene-like materials in nanoelectromechanical systems.
