In this paper, we employ the finite element method based on non-uniform rational B-splines function approximation to solve the nonlinear Brinkman-Forcheimer-Darcy equation in a simply connected and bounded Lipschitz domain. We provide both theoretical and numerical studies of the Dirichlet boundary problem. Utilizing a stream function formulation, we demonstrate the well-posedness of the weak form. Furthermore, we approximate the velocity and pressure fields by linearizing the nonlinear terms, resulting in an algebraic system. This Non-uniform rational B-splines method is more effective in terms of the exact representation of the geometry and the good approximation of the solution compared to the virtual element method. To validate the effectiveness of the non-uniform rational B-splines Finite Element Method, we conduct numerical simulations of fluid flow in porous media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: Multibody systems with flexible elements represent mechanical systems composed of many elastic (and rigid) interconnected bodies meeting a functional, technical, or biological assembly. The displacement of each or some of the elements of the system is generally large and cannot be neglected in mechanical modeling. The study of these multibody systems covers many industrial fields, but also has applications in medicine, sports, and art. The systematic treatment of the dynamic behavior of interconnected bodies has led to an important number of formalisms for multibody systems within mechanics. At present, this formalism is used in large engineering fields, especially robotics and vehicle dynamics. The formalism of multibody systems offers a means of algorithmic analysis, assisted by computers, and a means of simulating and optimizing an arbitrary movement of a possibly high number of elastic bodies in the connection. The domain where researchers apply these methods are robotics, simulations of the dynamics of vehicles, biomechanics, aerospace engineering (helicopters and the behavior of cars in a gravitational field), internal combustion engines, gearboxes, transmissions, mechanisms, the cellulose industry, simulation of particle behavior (granulated particles and molecules), dynamic simulation, military applications, computer games, medicine, and rehabilitation.

The main aim of the paper is to study the impact of delay times in a poro-elastic medium using the finite element approach and the three-phase lag thermo-elastic theory. The governing equations were obtained for a three-phase lag model with six delay times. Consideration was given to a one-dimensional application of a poro-elastic half-space. Because of the complex form of the basic equations, the finite element approach was used to solve this problem. Asymmetric and symmetric tensors were used to represent all of the physical quantities. The numerical results were presented in graphical form. The effects of porosity and delays were introduced. Finally, the results were plotted to show the difference between the three-phase delay (TPL) and the Green−Naghdi with and without energy dissipation (GNIII) models.

In this paper, the authors propose the application of the Gibbs–Appell equations to obtain the equations of motion in the case of a mechanical system that has elements with a micro-polar structure, containing voids. Voids can appear as a result of the processing or manufacturing of the parts, or can be intentionally introduced. This research involves a model of the considered solid material containing voids. To determine the dynamic behavior of such a system, the Gibbs–Appell (GA) method is used to obtain the evolution equations, as an alternative to Lagrange's classical description. The proposed method can be applied to any mechanical system consisting of materials with a micro-polar structure and voids. The study of such systems is interesting because the literature shows that even a reduce number of small voids can produce significant variations in physical behavior. The proposed method requires a smaller number of mathematical operations. To apply this method, the acceleration energy is calculated, which is then used to derive the equations. The method comes with advantages in the application to multibody systems having the mentioned properties and, in particular, in the study of robots and manipulators. Using the GA method, it is necessary to do a fewer differentiation operations than applying the Lagrange's equations. This leads to a reduced amount of computation for obtaining the evolution equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to solve a practical problem encountered in the automotive industry, especially the failure of a cracked lower control arm made of al 6062 T6 material during static and crash physical tests, and to characterize the behavior of cracked parts made of aluminum materials using the fracture mechanics parameters. As a first step, we carried out a numerical study and simulation using Abaqus/CAE 2020 software and the finite element method to determine the stress concentration and load limit capacity for different car weight cases. The von Mises stress variation shows crack initiation and propagation to be in the area of the lower control arm's attachment to the vehicle platform, where stress is concentrated. These numerical results are consistent with the experimental test results found by automotive manufacturers. Also, we find that the mechanical load that can support this part is below 4900 N for good performance. In the second step, we use the results of the first section to simulate the failure of a lower control arm with a crack defect. This paper investigates the stress intensity factor KI in mode I for different lengths (L) and depths (a) of the crack in the lower control arm using the extended finite element method (XFEM) under Abaqus/CAE. For crack failure initiation and progression, we relied on the traction separation law, specifically the maximum principal stress (MAXPS) criterion. The KI factor was evaluated for the materials steel and Al 6062 T6. The results obtained from the variation of the KI coefficient as a function of crack depth (a) and the thickness (t) show that the crack remains stable even when a depth ratio (a/t = 0.8) is reached for the steel material. However, the crack in the Aluminum 6062 T6 material becomes unstable at depth (a/t = 0.6), with a high risk of total failure of the lower control arm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scutaru, Maria Luminita, Vlase, Sorin, and Marin, Marin
- Abstract
Mechanical systems with structural symmetries present vibration properties that allow the calculation to be easier and the analysis time to decrease. The paper aims to use the properties involved by the symmetries that exist in mechanical systems for the analysis of the forced response to vibrations. Thus, the study of the properties of systems with symmetries or with identical parts is expanded. Based on a classic model, the characteristic properties that appear in this case are obtained and the advantages of using these properties are revealed. On an example consisting of a truck equipped with two identical engines, the way of applying these properties in the calculation and the resulting advantages is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, the finite element technique is employed to evaluate the effects of thermal relaxation durations on temperature, displacements, and stresses in a two-dimensional, polymeric, orthotropic, elastic medium. The problem is considered in a homogeneous, polymeric, orthotropic medium in the context of the Green and Lindsay model with two thermal relaxation times. The bounding surface of the half-space was subjected to a heat flux with an exponentially decaying pulse. Finite element techniques were used to solve the governing formulations, with eight-node isoparametric rectangular elements with three degrees of freedom (DOF) per node. The developed method was calculated using numerical results applied to the polymeric, orthotropic medium. The findings were implemented and visually shown. Finally, the results were displayed to demonstrate the differences between classical dynamic coupling (CT), the Lord–Shulman (LS) and the Green and Lindsay (GL) models.

The effects of fractional parameter and porosity in porothermoelastic media have been studied. The numerical outcomes for the temperatures, the stresses and the displacement of the fluid and the solid are presented graphically. These results will allow future studies to gain a detailed insight into non-simple porothermoelasticity with various phases.

In this work, numerical estimations of a nonlinear hyperbolic bioheat equation under various boundary conditions for medicinal treatments of tumor cells are constructed. The heating source components in a nonlinear hyperbolic bioheat transfer model, such as the rate of blood perfusions and the metabolic heating generations, are considered experimentally temperature-dependent functions. Due to the nonlinearity of the governing relations, the finite element method is adopted to solve such a problem. The results for temperature are presented graphically. Parametric analysis is then performed to identify an appropriate procedure to select significant design variables in order to yield further accuracy to achieve efficient thermal power in hyperthermia treatments.

The study of multibody systems with elastic elements involves at the moment the reevaluation of the classical methods of analysis offered by analytical mechanics. Modeling this system with the finite element method requires obtaining the motion equation for an element in the circumstances imposed by a multibody system. The paper aims to present the main analysis methods used by researchers, to make a comparative analysis, and to show the advantages or disadvantages offered by different methods. For the presentation of the main methods (namely Lagrange's equations, Gibbs–Appell's equations, Maggi's formalism, Kane's equations, and Hamilton's equations) a unified notation is used. The paper provides a critical evaluation of the studied applications that involved some of these methods, highlighting the reason why it was decided to use them.

Composite materials are becoming more and more popular in automotive industry since classical materials are, in general, expensive and deficient. This paper presents a study on how metals, used in the construction of car doors, can be successfully replaced by composite materials. The vibration behavior of a car door, made of composite materials, is studied and, since the rigidity of this component is low, a solution is proposed in which the structure is stiffened. The modal analysis and finite element method are used to identify the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes for this structure.

Lagrange’s equations represent the common approach in finite element analysis of an elastic multibody system. The most important step in this case is to write the governing equations. The work develops an alternative method to obtain these equations, using so-called Gibbs–Appell formalism. The advantage of this method is the decrease in the number of calculations to be made. The acceleration energy will be calculated first for a one-dimensional finite element, and then Gibbs–Appell equations are applied in the classical form. The number of differentiations required, compared to the method of Lagrange’s equations, decreases significantly, with effects on the computational time required to solve such a problem. We can assume that, due to its simplicity, this method will determine the interest of researchers in the case of large industrial applications.

In this study we formulate the mixed initial boundary value problem for a dipolar thermoelastic material whose micro-particles possess microtemperatures. Then this mixed problem is transformed in a Cauchy problem attached to a temporally equation of evolution on a specific Hilbert space, which will be suitably chosen. As such, we will be able to use certain results specific to the theory of the semigroups of contractions in order to obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution for our problem. The theory of semigroups also facilitates our approach regarding the continuous dependence of the solution upon initial data and loads. Finally, we reduce our model to the isotropic case and perform numerical simulations for the corresponding system of partial differential equations by means of the finite element method.

Obtaining the equations of motion for an element in finite element analysis (FEA) model in the analysis of a multi-body system (MBS) having component elastic elements represents an important (maybe the main) step to build a soft able to solve such a problem numerically. In use FEA in the study of a MBS with elastic elements, the method of Lagrange's equations is especially used at present. This method presents the advantages of a homogeneous writing and the possibility to follow the operations easier. However, there are also equivalent formulations, developed by analytical mechanics, for approaching such a mechanical system. The earning of these alternative forms will be presented, by comparison.

Composite-based polymer materials are manufactured in a wide variety of types with different compositions, structures, geometries, and topological descriptions. Among these, micropolar materials with voids have become increasingly studied in the literature. This paper establishes the equations of motion for such a material for the purpose of dynamic analysis via the finite element method (FEM). The Euler–Lagrangian formalism, based on the expressions of kinetic energy, potential energy, and mechanical work, is used. Hence, it is possible to study the dynamic response of such a system in the most general configuration case. The choice of the shape functions will determine the matrix coefficients for each particular case. An application illustrates the presented results.

An interesting feature that appears in the thermoelastic interaction in an orthotropic material containing cylindrical cavities is addressed in this study. For this purpose, the Finite Element Method is applied to analyze a generalized thermoelasticity theory with a relaxation time. For the development of the model, a thermal conductivity that is dependent on the temperature of the orthotropic medium was considered. The boundary condition for the internal surface of a cylindrical hollow is defined by the thermal shocks and the traction on the free surface. The nonlinear formulations of thermoelastic based on thermal relaxation time in orthotropic mediums are abbreviated using the Finite Element Method. The nonlinear equations without Kirchhoff's transformations are presented. The results are graphically represented to demonstrate how changing thermal conductivity affects all physical values.

This paper aims to analyze the stress and strain states appearing in the elbow of a tube, such as those commonly used in a city’s water supply network. The stress field is characterized by the fact that there is a significant stress increase when compared to a straight tube. As a result, the strength of such an elbow must be investigated and guaranteed for such a network to be well designed. A practical solution used is to anchor the elbow in a massive concrete block. The paper compares the stress field that occurs in the elbow when it is free, buried in the ground, and when it is anchored in a massive concrete block. Furthermore, we investigate how a crack appears and propagates in the elbow. This happens especially for the elbow buried in the ground where the stress and strain are higher than when the elbow is anchored in concrete. The results obtained can be used in the current practice in the case of water supply networks made by high-density polyethylene pipes.

This leads to qualitative different mechanical phenomena (high deformations, resonance, stability), mainly due to the Coriolis effects and relative motions.

We study from a numerical point of view the solution of the system of partial differential equations arising in the theory of isotropic dipolar thermoelasticity with double porosity. We write the variational formulation and introduce fully discrete approximations by using the finite element method to approximate the spatial variable and the backward Euler scheme to discretize the first-order time derivatives. By using these algorithms, we perform numerical simulations in order to show the behaviour of the solution. To this end, we use the finite element software FreeFem++.

Commercial aircraft have well-designed and optimized systems, the result of a huge experience in the field, due to the large fleet of aircraft in operation. For light, utility, or sports aircraft, with a multitude of shapes, tasks, and construction types, there are different solutions that seek to best meet the requirements of the designed aircraft. In this sense, for a sport plane, an increased maneuverability is desired, and the system that controls flaps and wing must be properly designed. A new flap mechanism command solution is proposed and justified in the paper, for use in sports and recreational aviation, in order to achieve angles of braking greater than 40°, take-off and landing in a shorter time and over a shorter distance, as well as the gliding of the aircraft in critical flight conditions or when fuel economy is needed. A finite element model is used to verify the optimized command system for the flap and wing and to check if the strength structure of the aircraft is properly designed. The main result consists of the new design command system for flaps and wings and in verifying, by calculation, the acceptability of the new mechanism proposed from the point of view of the strength of the materials.

The main aim of the paper is to study the impact of delay times in a poro-elastic medium using the finite element approach and the three-phase lag thermo-elastic theory. The governing equations were obtained for a three-phase lag model with six delay times. Consideration was given to a one-dimensional application of a poro-elastic half-space. Because of the complex form of the basic equations, the finite element approach was used to solve this problem. Asymmetric and symmetric tensors were used to represent all of the physical quantities. The numerical results were presented in graphical form. The effects of porosity and delays were introduced. Finally, the results were plotted to show the difference between the three-phase delay (TPL) and the Green−Naghdi with and without energy dissipation (GNIII) models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FINITE element method ,MULTI-degree of freedom ,HEAT flux - Abstract
In this work, the finite element technique is employed to evaluate the effects of thermal relaxation durations on temperature, displacements, and stresses in a two-dimensional, polymeric, orthotropic, elastic medium. The problem is considered in a homogeneous, polymeric, orthotropic medium in the context of the Green and Lindsay model with two thermal relaxation times. The bounding surface of the half-space was subjected to a heat flux with an exponentially decaying pulse. Finite element techniques were used to solve the governing formulations, with eight-node isoparametric rectangular elements with three degrees of freedom (DOF) per node. The developed method was calculated using numerical results applied to the polymeric, orthotropic medium. The findings were implemented and visually shown. Finally, the results were displayed to demonstrate the differences between classical dynamic coupling (CT), the Lord–Shulman (LS) and the Green and Lindsay (GL) models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An important stage in an analysis of a multibody system (MBS) with elastic elements by the finite element method is the assembly of the equations of motion for the whole system. This assembly, which seems like an empirical process as it is applied and described, is in fact the result of applying variational formulations to the whole considered system, putting together all the finite elements used in modeling and introducing constraints between the elements, which are, in general, nonholonomic. In the paper, we apply the method of Maggi’s equations to realize the assembly of the equations of motion for a planar mechanical systems using finite two-dimensional elements. This presents some advantages in the case of mechanical systems with nonholonomic liaisons.

The Lagrange&rsquo, s equation remains the most used method by researchers to determine the finite element motion equations in the case of elasto-dynamic analysis of a multibody system (MBS). However, applying this method requires the calculation of the kinetic energy of an element and then a series of differentiations that involve a great computational effort. The last decade has shown an increased interest of researchers in the study of multibody systems (MBS) using alternative analytical methods, aiming to simplify the description of the model and the solution of the systems of obtained equations. The method of Kane&rsquo, s equations is one possibility to do this and, in the paper, we applied this method in the study of a MBS applying finite element analysis (FEA). The number of operations involved is lower than in the case of Lagrange&rsquo, s equations and Kane&rsquo, s equations are little used previously in conjunction with the finite element method (FEM). Results are obtained regardless of the type of finite element used. The shape functions will determine the final form of the matrix coefficients in the equations. The results are applied in the case of a planar mechanism with two degrees of freedom.

The formulations are applied under the Green and Lindsay model, with four thermal relaxation times. Due to the complex governing equation, the finite element method has been used to solve these problems. All physical quantities are presented as symmetric and asymmetric tensors. The effects of thermal relaxation times and porosity in a poro-thermoelastic medium are studied. Numerical computations for temperatures, displacements and stresses for the liquid and the solid are presented graphically.

This paper studies the mechanical behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), from which the pipes used for water transport in water supply networks are manufactured. The study was generated by the practical problem of replacing and modernizing a water network of a city with 300,000 inhabitants. Of the numerous problems that have arisen and been solved by the group of researchers, only those referring to the mechanical behavior of the materials used for pipes are presented. HDPE, which is a thermoplastic material, is suitable for manufacturing the pipes used in water supply networks, having many advantages. Data on the mechanical properties of the material of which the pipe and elbow are made is obtained experimentally. The work involved the main steps required to design a water network, but the subject is not exhausted. The stresses in the polyethylene pipe are determined in two cases: buried in the ground and supported in a concrete massif. Thus, by calculation, the advantage offered by the second solution is justified. The crack of the pipes manufactured from HDPE is studied, taking into account the classical model used in the cracking process. A simulation of pipes and elbows cracking was made. The results obtained via MEF are useful for the users of the networks.

When analyzing the dynamic behavior of multi-body elastic systems, a commonly used method is the finite element method conjunctively with Lagrange’s equations. The central problem when approaching such a system is determining the equations of motion for a single finite element. The paper presents an alternative method of calculation theses using the Gibbs–Appell (GA) formulation, which requires a smaller number of calculations and, as a result, is easier to apply in practice. For this purpose, the energy of the accelerations for one single finite element is calculated, which will be used then in the GA equations. This method can have advantages in applying to the study of multi-body systems with elastic elements and in the case of robots and manipulators that have in their composition some elastic elements. The number of differentiation required when using the Gibbs–Appell method is smaller than if the Lagrange method is used which leads to a smaller number of operations to obtain the equations of motion.

The paper studies the vibration response of an elastic solid that has geometric symmetries. These determine special properties of the equations of motion of such a system, presented in the case of a cylindrical body (hollow cylinder). The properties of the eigenvalues and eigenmodes of these systems are theoretically established. A validation of these results is made using the finite element method. The use of the obtained results can lead to an easing of the vibration analysis of such a system and, consequently, to the decrease of the cost related to the design and manufacture of such a structure. The properties presented and demonstrated in the paper can simplify the numerical calculation and experimental verifications of such a structure. Serving these symmetries, the computation cost decrease substantially and will depend not in the number of the identical parts.

The paper studies the behavior of such an adding box, currently used in manufacturing, and an improved, welded solution that produces less noise and has a lower weight. The finite element method is used for modeling the gearbox in order to analyze stresses and strains and obtain a modal analysis of the system. The results obtained from the calculation are then verified by experimental measurements. The two versions are analyzed in parallel to highlight the advantages of the second version.

This paper aimed to use the symmetry that exists to the body of a guitar to ease the analysis behavior to vibrations. Symmetries can produce interesting properties when studying the dynamic and steady-state response of such systems. These properties can, in some cases, considerably decrease the effort made for dynamic analysis at the design stage. For a real guitar, these properties are used to determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Finite element method (FEM) is used for a numerical modeling and to prove the theoretically determined properties in this case. In this paper, different types of guitar plates related to symmetrical reinforcement patterns were studied in terms of modal analysis performed using finite element analysis (FEA). The dynamic response differs in terms of amplitude, eigenvalues, modal shapes in accordance with number and pattern of stiffening bars. In this study, the symmetrical and asymmetric modes of modal analysis were highlighted in the case of constructive symmetrical structures.

In classical mechanics, determining the governing equations of motion using finite element analysis (FEA) of an elastic multibody system (MBS) leads to a system of second order differential equations. To integrate this, it must be transformed into a system of first-order equations. However, this can also be achieved directly and naturally if Hamilton&rsquo, s equations are used. The paper presents this useful alternative formalism used in conjunction with the finite element method for MBSs. The motion equations in the very general case of a three-dimensional motion of an elastic solid are obtained. To illustrate the method, two examples are presented. A comparison between the integration times in the two cases presents another possible advantage of applying this method.

Engineering practice requires the use of structures containing identical components or parts, which are useful from several points of view: less information is needed to describe the system, design is made quicker and easier, components are made faster than a complex assembly, and finally the time to achieve the structure and the cost of manufacturing decreases. Additionally, the subsequent maintenance of the system becomes easier and cheaper. This Special Issue is dedicated to this kind of mechanical structure, describing the properties and methods of analysis of these structures. Discrete or continuous structures in static and dynamic cases are considered. Theoretical models, mathematical methods, and numerical analysis of the systems, such as the finite element method and experimental methods, are expected to be used in the research. Such applications can be used in most engineering fields including machine building, automotive, aerospace, and civil engineering.

• Displacements, microdeformations, temperature and microtemperatures are coupled in a multiphysics process. • Existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence results are shown for the mathematical model. • The plane strain problem is studied by the finite element method. In this study we formulate the mixed initial boundary value problem for a dipolar thermoelastic material whose micro-particles possess microtemperatures. Then this mixed problem is transformed in a Cauchy problem attached to a temporally equation of evolution on a specific Hilbert space, which will be suitably chosen. As such, we will be able to use certain results specific to the theory of the semigroups of contractions in order to obtain the existence and uniqueness of the solution for our problem. The theory of semigroups also facilitates our approach regarding the continuous dependence of the solution upon initial data and loads. Finally, we reduce our model to the isotropic case and perform numerical simulations for the corresponding system of partial differential equations by means of the finite element method.

- Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the stress and strain states appearing in the elbow of a tube, such as those commonly used in a city's water supply network. The stress field is characterized by the fact that there is a significant stress increase when compared to a straight tube. As a result, the strength of such an elbow must be investigated and guaranteed for such a network to be well designed. A practical solution used is to anchor the elbow in a massive concrete block. The paper compares the stress field that occurs in the elbow when it is free, buried in the ground, and when it is anchored in a massive concrete block. Furthermore, we investigate how a crack appears and propagates in the elbow. This happens especially for the elbow buried in the ground where the stress and strain are higher than when the elbow is anchored in concrete. The results obtained can be used in the current practice in the case of water supply networks made by high-density polyethylene pipes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Composite-based polymer materials are manufactured in a wide variety of types with different compositions, structures, geometries, and topological descriptions. Among these, micropolar materials with voids have become increasingly studied in the literature. This paper establishes the equations of motion for such a material for the purpose of dynamic analysis via the finite element method (FEM). The Euler–Lagrangian formalism, based on the expressions of kinetic energy, potential energy, and mechanical work, is used. Hence, it is possible to study the dynamic response of such a system in the most general configuration case. The choice of the shape functions will determine the matrix coefficients for each particular case. An application illustrates the presented results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
