Diffusion in pore fractals: A review of linear response models

A major aspect of describing transport in heterogeneous media has been that of relating effective diffusivities to the topological properties of the medium. While such effective transport coefficients may be useful for mass fractals or under steady state conditions, they are not adequate under transient conditions for self-similar pore fractal media. In porous formations without scale, diffusion is anomalous with the mean-squared displacement of a particle proportional to time raised to a fractional exponent less than unity. The objective of this review is to investigate the nature of the laws of diffusion in fractal media using the framework of linear response theory of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. A Langevin/Fokker-Planck approach reveals that the particle diffusivity depends on its age defined as the time spent by the particle since its entry into the medium. An analysis via generalized hydrodynamics describes fractal diffusion with a frequency and wave number dependent diffusivity.

Fractal geometry and topology abstracted from hair fibers

Based on the concepts of fractal super fibers, the （3, 9＋2）-circle and （9＋2, 3）-circle binary fractal sets are abstracted form such prototypes as wool fibers and human hairs, with the （3）-circle and the （9＋2）-circle fractal sets as subsets. As far as the （9＋2） topological patterns are concerned, the following propositions are proved： The （9＋2） topological patterns accurately exist, but are not unique. Their total number is 9. Among them, only two are allotropes. In other words, among the nine topological patterns, only two are independent （or fundamental）. Besides, we demonstrate that the （3, 9＋2）-circle and （9＋2, 3）-circle fractal sets are golden ones with symmetry breaking.

Outer synchronization of uncertain small-world networks via adaptive sliding mode control

The outer synchronization of irregular coupled complex networks is investigated with nonidentical topological structures. The switching gain is estimated by an adaptive technique, and a sliding mode controller is designed to satisfy the sliding condition. The outer synchronization between two irregular coupled complex networks with different initial conditions is implemented via the designed controllers with the corresponding parameter update laws. The chaos synchronization of two small-world networks consisting of N uncertain identical Lorenz systems is achieved to demonstrate the applications of the proposed approach.     

STUDY ON PARAMETERS FOR TOPOLOGICAL VARIABLES FIELD INTERPOLATED BY MOVING LEAST SQUARE APPROXIMATION

This paper presents a new approach to the structural topology optimization of continuum structures. Material-point independent variables are presented to illustrate the existence condition,or inexistence of the material points and their vicinity instead of elements or nodes in popular topology optimization methods. Topological variables field is constructed by moving least square approximation which is used as a shape function in the meshless method. Combined with finite element analyses,not only checkerboard patterns and mesh-dependence phenomena are overcome by this continuous and smooth topological variables field,but also the locations and numbers of topological variables can be arbitrary. Parameters including the number of quadrature points,scaling parameter,weight function and so on upon optimum topological configurations are discussed. Two classic topology optimization problems are solved successfully by the proposed method. The method is found robust and no numerical instabilities are found with proper parameters.     

Numbering homoclinic points of diffeomorphisms in the plane

In this paper we introduce a numerical conjugacy invariant for planar maps with homoclinic points. This invariant can be estimated based on partial information about the location of compact pieces of the stable and unstable manifolds of the system. The invariant is also related to topological entropy, and we indicate a method by which good bounds on the entropy of a system can be obtained.     

A new method for structural topological optimization based on the concept of independent continuous variables and smooth model

A concept of the independent-continuous topological variable is proposed to establish its corresponding smooth model of structural topological optimization. The method can overcome difficulties that are encountered in conventional models and algorithms for the optimization of the structural topology. Its application to truss topological optimization with stress and displacement constraints is satisfactory, with convergence faster than that of sectional optimizations.

Sensitivity of a general class of shape functionals to topological changes

The topological derivative represents the first term of the asymptotic expansion of a given shape functional with respect to the small parameter which measures the size of singular domain perturbations. The topological derivative has been successfully applied in the treatment of problems such as topology optimization, inverse analysis and image processing. In this paper, the calculation of the topological derivative for a general class of shape functionals is presented. In particular, we evaluate the topological derivative of a modified energy shape functional associated to the steady-state heat conduction problem, considering the nucleation of a small circular inclusion as the topological perturbation. Several methods were proposed to calculate the topological derivative. In this paper, the so-called topological-shape sensitivity method is extended to deal with a modified adjoint method, leading to an alternative approach to calculate the topological derivative based on shape sensitivity analysis together with a modified Lagrangian method. Since we are dealing with a general class of shape functionals, which are not necessarily associated to the energy, we will show that this new approach simplifies the most delicate step of the topological derivative calculation, namely, the asymptotic analysis of the adjoint state.     

Constitutive equations of a tensorial model for ductile damage of metals

Based on a micromechanical concept of void growth and change in void shape, a dissipation potential and constitutive equations for ductile damage of metals are presented. Multiplicative decomposition of the metric transformation tensor and thermodynamic formulation of the constitutive equations lead to a symmetric second-order tensor of damage which is physically meaningful. Its first invariant defines the damage related to plastic dilatation of the material due to the void growth. The second invariant of the deviatoric tensor accounts for the damage associated with a change in the void shape. Two physically motivated normalized measures allow us to represent the kinetic process of strain-induced damage by using the equivalent parameter of damage including the limit conditions for the onset of void coalescence and ductile failure. An experimental analysis of the evolution of ductile damage is presented for the case of uniaxial tension of sheet steel specimens with artificial defects.

AIFS—A Tool for Biomorphic Fractal Modeling

A considerable class of fractal sets can be represented by using the attractors of Iterated Function Systems (Barnsley, 1988), with affine contractive mappings of a metric space . The modeling capabilities of such systems are heavily limited however. For example, it is not easy to predict the location of the attractor nor its global shape. Then, Iterated Systems are not affinely invariant (affine mappings of the elements of the system do not result in affine image of its attractor). In this paper a new setting, the affine invariant Iterated Function System is described in such a way that it removes the mentioned shortcomings and can be used for shape-predictable modeling of fractal based forms. The stress is put on modeling of biological forms and their atributes such as: continuous deformation of the attractor in desired way (like in growing), branching (plants, vascular or alveolar network), gradual changing of fractal dimension from smooth to space-filling fractals. The last is useful for creating images of tissues in different stages of development, symmetry, gradual transformation from one to another form, etc. The fractal images obtained by AIFS are merely to gain resemblance to bio-forms.     

The topological optimization for truss structures with stress constraints based on the exist-null combined model

A new exist-null combined model is proposed for the structural topology optimization. The model is applied to the topology optimization of the truss with stress constraints. Satisfactory computational result can be obtained with more rapid and more stable convergence as compared with the cross-sectional optimization. This work also shows that the presence of independent and continuous topological variable motivates the research of structural topology optimization.
