Abstract The paper focuses on spatial modelling of composites with discontinuous reinforcement. The algorithm for creating a representative volume element (RVE) must consider random distribution and size of reinforcing particles (RP), prevention of RP interpenetration, and maintaining the desired volume fraction of the reinforcing phase (Vp) in the composite microstructure. Assuming fixed RVE dimensions and randomly determined RP size, the actual Vp value needs to be continuously determined. If the assumed (desired) Vp is lower than the current value, additional reinforcement is added to the RVE. As the RP location is random, some particles may extend beyond the RVE limits, affecting Vp calculation. The research aims to determine the RP volume within the RVE boundaries when RP extends outside. The RVE was discretized with N points, and the number of Ni points within the area occupied by RP was determined. The sought value was calculated using the ratio Ni /N = Vp /VRVE, where VRVE, is the volume of the RVE. Two discretisation methods, systematised (RI) and random (Monte Carlo (MC)), were employed. The study investigated the effects of discretisation type and number N points on calculation accuracy and microstructure generation time for particle-reinforced composites in sphere, cylinder, and ellipsoid shapes. Systematised discretisation yielded higher accuracy/stability, with number N dependent on RP dimensions. The MC method reduced generation time but introduced instability and significant errors.

Abstract The paper describes the numerical calculations of a conceptual air brake valve of a trailer equipped with a differential section, which is intended to shorten response time and braking distance. The static flow characteristics have been determined using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Mixed (global and local) computational meshes were used in the paper to determine the static flow characteristics of the valve sections. The use of the local mesh was relevant for valve openings smaller than 0.5mm. Using CFD, it was possible to determine the static flow characteristics of the main, auxiliary feed and the differential sections, which were linear, degressive and progressive depending on the section. The analyzes, which have not yet been described in the literature, showed a significant difference in the MFR of the additional and main feed tracts, which reached 52.29%.The results are applicable to the configuration of the braking system. Further research will include performing dynamic simulations using dedicated software and building a test rig to validate the CFD calculation results.

Abstract This paper presents the process optimization of some key parameters, such as the size of the air gap and distance between fixed neodymium magnets to enhance the vibration-based energy harvesting effect in the tri-stable energy harvesting systems and the improved tri-stable energy harvesting system being the proposed solution under weak excitation. In order to do it, firstly the distributed parameters model of the magnetic coupling energy harvesting system, including macro fiber composites of the 8514 P2 with a homogenous material in the piezoelectric fiber layer and nonlinear magnetic force, was determined. The performed numerical analysis of the conventional and the improved tri-stable energy harvesting system indicated that introducing an additional magnet to the tri-stable system leads to the shallowing of the depth of a potential well by decreasing the air gap between magnets and consequently generating higher power output and improving the effectiveness of the proposed improved tri-stable energy harvesting system. Experiments carried out on the laboratory stand allowed us to verify the numerical results as well as determine the optimal parameters of the magnetic coupling system. Due to it, the effectiveness of the proposed system versus the conventional tri-stable energy harvesting system is most enhanced.

Abstract The article concerns the modeling of the transverse impact of an impactor (test sample) on the surface of an infinite elastic layer. The Laplace transform with respect to time and the Hankel transform with respect to the radius for the axisymmetric case were applied. The propagation of elastic waves in the layer and local deformations in the contact zone are taken into account. Impact force, impact time and the coefficient of restitution were examined. The results are compared with the elastic half-space. The calculations carried out showed that for layer thicknesses of more than five impactor diameters, the layer can be considered as a half-space.

Research of Dynamic Processes in a Layer During Collision With an Impactor

碰撞过程中层内动态过程的研究

Abstract This study presents a numerical prediction of the fatigue life of steel panels repaired by a composite patch. The effect of length cracks, the stress ratio R and properties of the patch is presented. The obtained results show that the bonded composite repair significantly reduces the stress intensity factors at the tip of repaired cracks. The results are in a good agreement with those in the literature. The Monte Carlo method is used to predict the distribution function governing crack propagation in fatigue analysis. In computing the failure probability of the structure, we consider the statistical uncertainty associated with key variables, along with the previously discussed model uncertainty. The results obtained highlight the considerable impact of variations in crack length and stress ratio on the distribution function. Notably, uncertainty in these parameters significantly amplifies the probability of structural failure in plates, thereby diminishing overall structural durability.
