Phase field modelling of crack propagation, branching and coalescence in rocks

open access: yes, 2018
We present a phase field model (PFM) for simulating complex crack patterns including crack propagation, branching and coalescence in rock. The phase field model is implemented in COMSOL and is based on the strain decomposition for the elastic energy ...

Meshfree methods

open access: yes, 2004
The aim of this chapter is to provide an in-depth presentation and survey of meshfree particle methods. Several particle approximations are reviewed; the SPH method, corrected gradient methods and the moving least squares (MLS) approximation. The discrete equations are derived from a collocation scheme or a Galerkin method. Special attention is paid to

Numerical Simulation of Transient Heat Conduction With Moving Heat Source Using Physics Informed Neural Networks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 345-353, June 2025.
ABSTRACT In this article, the physics informed neural networks (PINNs) is employed for the numerical simulation of heat transfer involving a moving source under mixed boundary conditions. To reduce computational effort and increase accuracy, a new training method is proposed that uses a continuous time‐stepping through transfer learning.

Pressure–impulse diagrams of RC beams considering fire–blast interaction

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 3305-3318, June 2025.
Abstract When analyzing military, defense, or structures/infrastructures deemed critical, explosion‐induced actions—often associated with malicious actions—play a significant role. The combined effect of a blast and fire is not uncommon: in fact, an explosion can be the extreme consequence of a fire or vice versa, a fire can occur as the result of an ...

Multiphysics Simulation Methods in Computer Graphics

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Physics simulation is a cornerstone of many computer graphics applications, ranging from video games and virtual reality to visual effects and computational design. The number of techniques for physically‐based modeling and animation has thus skyrocketed over the past few decades, facilitating the simulation of a wide variety of materials and ...

A Chemo‐Damage‐Mechanical Coupled Phase‐Field Model for Three‐Dimensional Hydrogen‐Assisted Dynamic Cracking

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
ABSTRACT This study develops a chemo‐damage‐mechanical coupled phase‐field method for modeling two‐dimensional and/or three‐dimensional hydrogen‐assisted transient dynamic cracking in metallic materials. In this method, hydrogen diffusion in solids is described by the evolution of bulk hydrogen concentration governed by the diffusion equation with an ...

Evaluation of coupled finite element/meshfree method for a robust full-scale crashworthiness simulation of railway vehicles

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
The crashworthiness of a railway vehicle relates to its passive safety performance. Due to mesh distortion and difficulty in controlling the hourglass energy, conventional finite element methods face great challenges in crashworthiness simulation of ...
