FEM-DEM Multiscale Numerical Method for Investigating Stress Gradient Effects in Granular Media

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The gravitational field represents the fundamental stress field in geotechnical engineering. Its influence on soil mechanical behavior is manifested not only through variations in stress magnitude but also through stress gradient effects.

Numerical Simulation of Pollutant Transport in Fractured Vuggy Porous Karstic Aquifers

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2011
This paper begins with presenting a mathematical model for contaminant transport in the fractured vuggy porous media of a species of contaminant (PCP). Two phases are numerically simulated for a process of contaminant and clean water infiltrated in the ...

An Adaptive Multiscale Finite Element Method

open access: yes, 2014
This work is devoted to an adaptive multiscale finite element method (MsFEM) for solving elliptic problems with rapidly oscillating coefficients. Starting from a general version of the MsFEM with oversampling, we derive an a posteriori estimate for the H-

Finite element heterogeneous multiscale method for the wave equation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A finite element heterogeneous multiscale method is proposed for the wave equation with highly oscillatory coefficients. It is based on a finite element discretization of an effective wave equation at the macro scale, whose a priori unknown effective ...

Gradient‐Conductivity Architecture Enables Synchronous Enhancement of Sensitivity and Detection Range in Multifunctional All‐Paper Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A gradient‐engineered all‐paper sensor is fabricated by integrating MXene and in situ grown AgNPs within hierarchical cellulose networks. The device breaks the sensitivity–detection range trade‐off through cascaded conductive pathways, enabling ultrahigh pressure sensitivity, humidity–pressure decoupled dual‐mode sensing, and outstanding EMI shielding,

Multiscale Numerical Modeling for Prediction of Piezoresistive Effect for Polymer Composites with a Highly Segregated Structure

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
In this work, the piezoresistive effect for a polymer nanocomposite with a highly segregated distribution of conductive filler was investigated. As a base polymer for the investigated nanocomposites, ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene, processed in ...

Bone‐Inspired Recyclable Composites for Damage‐Tolerant Circular Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bone‐inspired architected composites are developed by combining osteon‐like reinforcements with a recyclable Elium thermoplastic matrix. The hierarchical architecture redirects cracks and promotes energy dissipation, while enabling recovery of intact, aligned, load‐bearing reinforcement units that retain their original stiffness, revealing a route ...

Adjoint-Based Adaptive Convergence Control of the Iterative Finite Volume Multiscale Method

open access: yesSPE Reservoir Simulation Conference, 2019
Abstract We propose a novel adaptive, adjoint-based, iterative multiscale finite volume (i-MSFV) method. The method aims to reduce the computational cost of the smoothing stage of the original i-MSFV method by selectively choosing fine-scale sub-domains (or sub-set of primary variables) to solve for.

HIERARCHICAL RVE-BASED MULTISCALE MODELING OF NONLINEAR HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS USING THE FINITE VOLUME METHOD

open access: yesInternational Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering, 2022
This paper describes the development of a hierarchical multiscale procedure within the finite volume (FL) OpenFOAM framework for modeling the mechanical response of nonlinear heterogeneous solid materials. This is a first development of the hierarchical multiscale model for solid mechanics using the FL discretization method.
