Atoms to assemblies: A physics-bsed hierachical modelling approach for polymer composite components
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.

DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/AMM.553.41
Abstract: The development of new composite materials requires analysis and experimentation spanning scales from nanometres to metres, from “atoms to assemblies”. In this paper, concerned primarily with fibre reinforced epoxy composites, a methodology is presented which allows continuum level structural simulation to account for nanoand micro-scale size effects in composites. The novelty of this approach is the modular hierarchical nature of the simulation which ensures computational tractability, regardless of the length scales considered. Linking the nanoscale to the macroscopic scale in a single simulation allows for holistic materials development, including the addition of nanoadditives to polymer resin systems.

Effect of geometrical structure variations on strength and damage onset of cortical bone using multi-scale cohesive zone based finite element method
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 02-2023
DOI: 10.1016/J.JMBBM.2022.105578
Abstract: Three-dimensional multi-scale finite element models were designed to examine the effects of geometrical structure variations on the damage onset in cortical bone at multiple structural scales. A cohesive zone finite element approach, together with anisotropic damage initiation criteria, is used to predict the onset of damage. The finite element models are developed to account for the onset of microdamage from the microscopic length scales consisting of collagen fibres, to the macroscopic level consisting of osteons and the Haversian canals. Numerical results indicated that the yield strain at the initiation of microcracks is independent of variations in the local mineral volume fraction at each structural scale. Further, the yield strain and strength properties of cortical bone are dependent on its structural anisotropy and hierarchical structure. A positive correlation is observed between bone strength and mineral content at each length scale.

Linear solar concentrator structural optimization using variable beam cross sections
Publisher: ASME International
Date: 26-06-2018
DOI: 10.1115/1.4040273
Abstract: The design and construction of solar concentrators heavily affects their optical efficiency, heat utilization, and cost. Current trough concentrators use an equivalent uniform beam with a metal grid substructure. In this conventional design, there is surplus stiffness and strength, which unnecessarily increases the overall weight and cost of the structure. This paper describes a variable cross section structural optimization approach (with the EuroTrough design, including safety factors, taken as an ex le) to overcome this issue. The main improvement of this design comes from keeping the beams rigid and strong near the two ends (at the torque box structure) while allowing the middle of the structure to be relatively weak. Reducing the cross-sectional area of the middle beams not only reduces the amount of material needed for the structure but also reduces the deflection of the reflector. In addition, a new connection structure between two neighboring concentrator elements was designed to reinforce the structure. The simulated results show that the concentrator's structural weight (including the torque box, endplates, and cantilever arms) is reduced by 13.5% (i.e., about 133 kg per 12 m long element). This represents a meaningful capital and installation cost savings while at the same time improving the optical efficiency.

DOI: 10.1115/HT2017-5082
Abstract: The design and construction of solar concentrators heavily affects their cost, heat utilization and optical efficiency. Current trough concentrators support the reflector with an equivalent uniform beam configured from a metal grid sub-structure. Under gravity and wind loads, the support-structure stress distribution varies as a function of position of the structure and the tracking angle. In the conventional design, there is le surplus stiffness and strength designed into some beams of the structure, which increases the overall weight and cost of the structure. This paper describes an approach towards structural optimization of trough concentrators (with the Eurotrough design taken as an ex le, that means that the safety factors and structure is similar with Eurotrough design) using a variable cross section beam. The main improvement of this approach comes from keeping the beams rigid and strong near the two ends (at the torque box structure) while allowing the middle of the structure to be relatively weak. Reducing the cross-sectional area of the central beams not only reduces amount of material needed for the structure but also reduces the deflection of the reflector. The simulated results show that the concentrator’s structural weight (including the torque box, endplates and cantilever arms) and the maximum displacement of the reflector are reduced about 15.3% (about 151.2kg per 12-metre long element) and 15.5%, respectively. This represents a meaningful capital and installation cost savings while at the same time improving the optical efficiency.
