Recent progresses in studies on wave-current loads on foundation structure with piles and slab?

The foundation structure with piles and slab is widely used in o?shore wind farm construction in shallow water. Experimental studies on the hydrodynamic loads acting on the piles and slab under irregular waves and currents are summarized with discussion on the e?ects of pile grouping on the wave forces and wave impact loads on the slab locating near the free surface. By applying the theoretical solution of the wave di?racted by the slab and using the Morison equation to evaluate the wave force on the piles, the e?ects of the slab on the wave forces acting on the piles are analyzed. Based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the volume of ?uid (VOF) method, a numerical wave basin is developed to simulate the wave-structure interaction. The computed maximum wave force on the foundation structure with piles and slab agrees well with the measured data. The violent deformation, breaking, and run-up of the wave around the structure are presented and discussed. Further work on the turbulent ?ow structures and large deformation of the free surface due to interaction of the waves and foundation structures of o?shore wind farms needs more e?cient approaches for evaluating hydrodynamic loads under the e?ects of nonlinear waves and currents.

Elastic Analysis of Anisotropic Rotating Sandwich Circular Ring With a Functionally Graded Transition Region北大核心CSCD

The elastic analysis of anisotropic rotating sandwich ring with a functionally graded transition region was carried out. Like the shell sandwich structure in nature, the ring is composed of 3 well⁃bonded regions, of which the inner and outer regions are made of homogeneous anisotropic materials, and the intermediate transi⁃ tion region is made of a material with arbitrary⁃gradient properties along the radial direction. Based on the boundary conditions and the continuity conditions at the interface, the 2nd Fredholm integral equation for the radial stress was obtained with the integral equation method, then the stress and displacement fields of the sandwich ring structure were obtained through numerical solution. The distributions of the stress and displace⁃ ment fields in the sandwich ring structure were given. Different gradient changes encountered in engineering practice can be solved only through substitution of the corresponding function model. The effectiveness and ac⁃ curacy of the integral equation method were verified through comparison of the numerical solutions with the ex⁃ act ones for a special power function gradient variation form. The more general Voigt function model was adopt⁃ ed for the intermediate transition region, and the influences of the anisotropy degree, the gradient parameter, and the thickness on the stress and displacement fields were analyzed. The proposed Fredholm integral equation method provides a powerful tool for the optimal design of anisotropic functionally graded materials and sand⁃ wich ring structures. The numerical results make a theoretical guidance for the safety design of anisotropic functionally graded sandwich ring structures. © 2023 Editorial Office of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.

INVERSE SCATTERING BY AN INHOMOGENEOUS PENETRABLE OBSTACLE IN A PIECEWISE HOMOGENEOUS MEDIUM

This paper is concerned with the inverse problem of scattering of time-harmonic acoustic waves by an inhomogeneous penetrable obstacle in a piecewise homogeneous medium. The well-posedness of the direct problem is first established by using the integral equation method. We then proceed to establish two tools that play important roles for the inverse problem: one is a mixed reciprocity relation and the other is a priori estimates of the solution on some part of the interfaces between the layered media. For the inverse problem, we prove in this paper that both the penetrable interfaces and the possible inside inhomogeneity can be uniquely determined from a knowledge of the far field pattern for incident plane waves.     

MODELING,SIMULATION,AND OPTIMIZATION OF SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE DRIVEN MICROFLUIDIC BIOCHIPS

We will be concerned with the mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, and shape optimization of micro fluidic biochips that are used for various biomedical applications. A particular feature is that the fluid flow in the fluidic network on top of the biochips is in- duced by surface acoustic waves generated by interdigital transducers. We are thus faced with a multiphysics problem that will be modeled by coupling the equations of piezoelectricity with the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, the fluid flow exhibits a multiscale character that will be taken care of by a homogenization approach. We will discuss and analyze the mathematical models and deal with their numerical solution by space-time discretizations featuring appropriate finite element approximations with respect to hierarchies of simplicial triangulations of the underlying computational domains. Simulation results will be given for the propagation of the surface acoustic waves on top of the piezoelectric substrate and for the induced fluid flow in the microchannels of the fluidic network. The performance of the operational behavior of the biochips can be significantly improved by shape optimization. In particular, for such purposes we present a multilevel interior point method relying on a predictor-corrector strategy with an adaptive choice of the continuation steplength along the barrier path. As a specific example, we will consider the shape optimization of pressure driven capillary barriers between microchannels and reservoirs.     

Responses of SDOF Structures With SPIS-Ⅱ Dampers Under Random Seismic Excitation北大核心CSCD

A closed-form solution of responses of SDOF structures with SPIS-Ⅱ dampers under seismic excitation modeled with the Clough-Pezien spectrum was proposed, and the shock absorption performance and influential factors of this system were studied based on the proposed method. Firstly, the motion equation for the SPIS-Ⅱ damper was established, and the unified expressions of frequency domain solutions of structural responses, such as the structural displacement and the inerter force, were obtained. Secondly, based on the rational expression decomposition and the residue theorem, the quadratic orthogonal equations of the frequency response eigenvalue function and the Clough-Pezien spectrum were obtained respectively, and in turn the quadratic orthogonal equation of the structural response power spectrum was deduced. Thirdly, the concise closed-form solutions of the 0~2nd-order spectral moments of the structural responses were acquired. The proposed method and the virtual excitation method were used to analyze a case respectively, which verifies the correctness of the proposed method. Finally, the proposed method was used to analyze the effects of the inerter parameters on the seismic performances of the structure. The research shows that, the proposed method gives closed-form solutions better than those given by the virtual excitation method in terms of computation efficiency and accuracy. The damping performance will improve with the increase of µm and µξ for a constant µω and the damping performance will reach the optimum for µω=1. © 2023 Editorial Office of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.

Determining a Multi-layered Fluid-solid Medium from the Acoustic Measurements

Consider the inverse problem of recovering a multi-layered fluid-solid medium from many acoustic measurements corresponding to time-harmonic acoustic plane waves.We prove that both the supports of the embedded solid obstacle and the surrounding layered fluid medium can be uniquely identified by means of acoustic far-field pattern for all incident wave fields at a fixed frequency.Our proof is based on the constructions of some well-posed partial differential equation systems in sufficiently small domains combined with the a priori estimates for the solutions of the forward scattering problem.     

A ROBUST DISCRETIZATION OF THE REISSNER-MINDLIN PLATE WITH ARBITRARY POLYNOMIAL DEGREE

A numerical scheme for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model is proposed.The method is based on a discrete Helmholtz decomposition and can be viewed as a generalization of the nonconforming finite element scheme of Arnold and Falk[SIAM J.Numer.Anal.,26(6):1276-1290,1989].The two unknowns in the discrete formulation are the in-plane rotations and the gradient of the vertical displacement.The decomposition of the discrete shear variable leads to equivalence with the usual Stokes system with penalty term plus two Poisson equations and the proposed method is equivalent to a stabilized discretization of the Stokes system that generalizes the Mini element.The method is proved to satisfy a best-approximation result which is robust with respect to the thickness parameter t.     

A PREDICTOR-CORRECTOR INTERIOR-POINT ALGORITHM FOR CONVEX QUADRATIC PROGRAMMING

The simplified Newton method, at the expense of fast convergence, reduces the work required by Newton method by reusing the initial Jacobian matrix. The composite Newton method attempts to balance the trade-off between expense and fast convergence by composing one Newton step with one simplified Newton step. Recently, Mehrotra suggested a predictor-corrector variant of primal-dual interior point method for linear programming. It is currently the interior-point method of the choice for linear programming. In this work we propose a predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for convex quadratic programming. It is proved that the algorithm is equivalent to a level-1 perturbed composite Newton method. Computations in the algorithm do not require that the initial primal and dual points be feasible. Numerical experiments are made.     

A generalized dynamic model of nanoscale surface acoustic wave sensors and its applications in Love wave propagation and shear-horizontal vibration

A generalized dynamic model to depict the wave propagation properties in surface acoustic wave nano-devices is established based on the Hamilton's principle and variational approach. The surface effect, equivalent to additional thin films, is included with the aid of the surface elasticity, surface piezoelectricity and surface permittivity. It is demonstrated that this generalized dynamic model can be reduced into some classical cases, suitable for macro-scale and nano-scale, if some specific assumptions are utilized. In numerical simulations, Love wave propagation in a typical surface acoustic wave device composed of a piezoelectric ceramic transducer film and an aluminum substrate, as well as the shear-horizontal vibration of a piezoelectric plate, is investigated consequently to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the surface effect. Correspondingly, a critical thickness that distinguishes surface effect from macro-mechanical behaviors is proposed, below which the size-dependent properties must be considered. Not limited as Love waves, the theoretical model will provide us a useful mathematical tool to analyze surface effect in nano-devices, which can be easily extended to other type of waves, such as Bleustein-Gulyaev waves and general Rayleigh waves.     

Surface acoustic waves in the testing of layered media. The waves’ sensitivity to variations in the properties of the individual layers

Research on the use of surface acoustic waves for the nondestructive testing of layered media is reviewed. A model to describe horizontally polarized surface acoustic waves in layered anisotropic (monoclinic) media is constructed. A modified transfer-matrix method is developed to obtain a solution. Non-canonical type waves with horizontal transverse polarization are investigated. Dispersion curves are constructed for a multilayer composite in contact with an anisotropic half-space. It is shown that the variation of the physical characteristics and the geometry of any of the internal layers leads to a variation in the dispersion curves. This opens up the possibility of using dispersion analysis for the nondestructive testing of the properties of the individual layers.

A Computer Technology for the Discrete Source Method in Scattering Problems

The latest achievements of the discrete source method are reviewed. The method constructs efficient numerical models for the scattering of electromagnetic waves by three-dimensional structures, including structures in the presence of a substrate. The proposed approach remains efficient for scatterers with extreme characteristics, both in free space and in the presence of a layered structure.     

The motions of liquid films in a gas

The motions in a gas of thin films of a viscous incompressible liquid acted upon by capillary forces are considered. The surface tension depends on the impurity concentration of a surface-active material, soluble or insoluble in the liquid, and the liquid is non-volatile. The inertia of the liquid, viscous stresses, the Laplace pressure and the surface-tension gradients, impurity transfer and also the particular properties of super-thin films are taken into account. The motions of the films are described using the model of quasi-steady viscous flow. Systems of equations are obtained in the approximation of an ideal compressible medium and for small Mach numbers. The conditions for the incompressible film surface approximation to hold are obtained. The severe limitations of the gas-dynamic approximation in the case of a soluble impurity due to attenuation of the waves related to diffusion are investigated. A continuum model of the film as a compressible medium with a non-equilibrium pressure is constructed. The asymptotic form of the solutions of unsteady problems of impurity transfer in the limit of weak non-equilibrium is obtained. Integrals of the equations of motion of the films in steady one-dimensional problems are derived. Integral forms of the equations of momentum and its moment for an arbitrary contour of the film are presented, which hold for steady flows in a film and in quasi-statics. The boundary conditions for the solutions of the system of equations of motion of films are given.     

The numerical solution of an inverse scattering problem for acoustic waves

In a previous paper, the authors presented a dual space methodfor the numerical solution of the two-dimensional inverse scatteringproblem for acoustic waves in an inhomogeneous medium. Here,by making major modifications to the dual space method, a dramaticimprovement in the numerical performance of this method is achievedfor solving the inverse scattering problem.     

Optimal adaptation of acoustic black holes by evolutionary optimization algorithms

The interest of engineers is focusing increasingly on a reduced sound radiation of constructions. In particular, structures with a large surface, such as cabin linings of airplanes as well as a roof or a bottom plate of cars, tend to be good acoustic radiators and lead to an annoyance of passengers. As countermeasures, often complex and time consuming design changes or expensive active measures are used. In many cases, a more elegant and cheaper option is to improve the acoustic properties by using passive measures. Acoustic black holes are an innovative passive method which combine two advantages: A material reduction by improving acoustic properties is performed. The main idea is to guide and to focus acoustically critical bending waves by a specific wall thickness diminution. Through targeted local damping placement in the middle of an acoustic black hole, a structure can be globally damped in a very efficient way. The efficiency depends on the position and size of the acoustic black holes [1]. Finding the optimal size and position on the structure is therefore an important challenge. This paper introduces a new strategy to find an optimal position of acoustic black holes to reduce the sound radiation of plane structures by using evolutionary optimization algorithms. Numerical calculations are exemplarily shown on a rectangular plate. (© 2016 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Mathematical modeling of spatial-temporal structures in a heterogeneous catalytic system

The article focuses on mathematical modeling of the spatial-temporal structures that appear in a heterogeneous catalytic reaction on the surface of a catalyst. A system of consistent mathematical models has been developed for a three-component reaction, describing self-organization phenomena on macro, meso, and micro levels. Qualitative analysis of the solutions of the ODE system (macro level) produces the existence regions of spatial-temporal structures of various types in distributed meso- and micro-level models. A point model is applied to predict the shape of traveling impulses and fronts; the switching direction in a bistable medium is determined analytically. Solutions constructed and investigated for a PDE multicomponent reaction-diffusion system describe trigger waves, single traveling impulses, phase and spiral waves. Spatial-temporal structures on the atomic level are investigated by the Monte Carlo method. Direct and inverse trigger waves are implemented, as well as single traveling impulses and spiral waves. The effect of internal fluctuations in the reaction system is investigated.     

Features of the reflection of waves with strong discontinuities from thin compressible obstacles

Using the example of the plane contact problem of hydroelasticity theory, the multiple reflection of waves with strong discontinuities, propagating in an ideally elastic liquids, from thin films having a finite acoustic impedance, is investigated analytically. The wave solution is presented in the form of the sum of a basic component (no film) and a perturbed component. An algorithm is developed for the successive analytical calculation of the perturbed components after multiple reflections from an obstruction.     

Influence of the bottom undulation on surface waves in thin film flow

We study gravity-driven viscous thin films flowing down an undulated plane. Applying the integral boundary-layer method we derive a set of two coupled PDEs for the film thickness and the flow rate. The steady state solution shows linear and nonlinear resonance. Based on this analytical solution we carry out a stability analysis with respect to surface waves and study wave generation and annihilation for time dependent flow.
