The harmonic structure materials consist of coarse-grained areas enclosed in a three-dimensional continuously connected network of ultrafine-grained area. The concept of harmonic structure design has been successfully applied to a variety of pure metals and alloys by mechanical milling (MM) and subsequent powder metallurgy (PM) process. In harmonic structure material, core region with coarse grains maintains a high ductility while the shell region with ultrafine grains contributes for a higher strength. Therefore, the material with harmonic structure design can achieve both strength and ductility simultaneously. In this research, the SUS304L grade stainless steel has been used as a model material to understand and validate the response of the harmonic structure materials towards the applied external loads. The numerical simulation of multi-scale FEA (Finite Element Analysis) was carried out, and it was confirmed that microscopic deformation and the macroscopic tensile strength can be characterized by the present approach.

Green water on the ship deck in rough sea conditions may induce extreme impulsive wave impacts on superstructures and result in severe structural damage. It is of great importance to consider green water loads in ship structure design. However, there are many challenges in predicting green water loads due to the strongly nonlinear wave-ship interactions and the multiphase, multi-scale nature of the wave impact phenomena. In this article, a three-dimensional hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian approach is proposed for simulating green water loads on the ship deck. It is extended from an efficient and accurate two-dimensional method developed for fluid-structure interaction problems. In this method, the flow field is solved on a fixed regular Cartesian grid system in an Eulerian framework, whereas the solid body motion is tracked with a set of markers immersed in the fluid and solved in a Lagrangian framework. Two benchmark cases, green water on a fixed simplified Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) model and green water on ship, are simulated. Comparison between experimental data and numerical results shows that our method is a viable choice for predicting green water loads.

Co-Cr-Mo alloy powders were subjected to controlled mechanical milling at room temperature under Ar atmosphere to fabricate bimodal microstructure in the MM powders, having nanosized grains in the surface region and micron-sized coarse grains in the center of the milled powders. Subsequently, the MM powder was compacted by spark-plasma sintering (SPS) process. The sintered compacts indicated two structure areas: (i) ultra-fine grained (UFG) regions, called shell, and (ii) the coarse grained regions called core. The shell and the core correspond to the surface and center of the MM powders, respectively. The shell regions established a continuous three dimensional network of high strength ultra-fine grained regions, which surrounded the discrete coarse grained ductile regions. Such a microstructure is referred as Harmonic Structure. The sintered Co-Cr-Mo alloy compacts exhibited outstanding mechanical properties. The yield strength increased from 605 to 635 MPa, and ultimate tensile strength increased from 1201 to 1283 MPa. Moreover, the elongation was maintained more or less same as that of coarse grained compacts. Therefore, the harmonic structure design leads to the new generation microstructure of Co-Cr-Mo alloy, which demonstrates outstanding mechanical properties, i.e. superior strength and excellent ductility as compared to conventional materials. Keywords: mechanical milling, Co-Cr-Mo alloys, mechanical properties, harmonic structure.

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is extensively used in microscopic applications. Reducing excessive error points and achieving accurate matching of weak texture regions have been the classical challenges for 3D microscopic vision. A Multi-ST algorithm was proposed to improve matching accuracy. The process is performed in two main stages: scaled microscopic images and regularized cost aggregation. First, microscopic image pairs with different scales were extracted according to the Gaussian pyramid criterion. Second, a novel cost aggregation approach based on the regularized multi-scale model was implemented into all scales to obtain the final cost. To evaluate the performances of the proposed Multi-ST algorithm and compare different algorithms, seven groups of images from the Middlebury dataset and four groups of experimental images obtained by a binocular microscopic system were analyzed. Disparity maps and reconstruction maps generated by the proposed approach contained more information and fewer outliers or artifacts. Furthermore, 3D reconstruction of the plug gauges using the Multi-ST algorithm showed that the error was less than 0.025 mm.

Industrial dynamical systems often exhibit multi-scale responses due to material heterogeneity and complex operation conditions. The smallest length-scale of the systems dynamics controls the numerical resolution required to resolve the embedded physics. In practice however, high numerical resolution is only required in a confined region of the domain where fast dynamics or localized material variability is exhibited, whereas a coarser discretization can be sufficient in the rest majority of the domain. Partitioning the complex dynamical system into smaller easier-to-solve problems based on the localized dynamics and material variability can reduce the overall computational cost. The region of interest can be specified based on the localized features of the solution, user interest, and correlation length of the material properties. For problems where a region of interest is not evident, Bayesian inference can provide a feasible solution. In this work, we employ a Bayesian framework to update the prior knowledge of the localized region of interest using measurements of the system response. Once, the region of interest is identified, the localized uncertainty is propagate forward through the computational domain. We demonstrate our framework using numerical experiments on a three-dimensional elastodynamic problem.

In order to satisfy the increasing computational demands of micromechanics, the Finite-Volume Direct Averaging Micromechanics (FVDAM) theory is developed in three-dimensional (3D) domain to simulate the multiphase heterogeneous materials whose microstructures are distributed periodically in the space. Parametric mapping, which endorses arbitrarily shaped and oriented hexahedral elements in the microstructure discretization, is employed in the unit cell solution. Unlike the finite-element (FE) technique, the expressions for local stiffness matrices are derived explicitly, enabling efficient global stiffness matrix assembly using an easily implementable algorithm. To demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed theory, the homogenized moduli and localized stress distributions produced by the FE analyses are given for comparisons, where excellent agreement is always obtained for the 3D microstructures with different geometrical and material properties. Finally, a multi-scale stress analysis of functionally graded composite cylinders is conducted. This extension further increases the FVDAM’s range of applicability and opens new opportunities for pursuing other areas, providing an attractive alternative to the FE-based approaches that may be compared.

Abstract Recently, many studies have investigated additive manufacturing of hierarchical surfaces with high surface area/volume (SA/V) ratios, and their performance has been characterized for applications in next-generation functional devices. Despite recent advances, it remains challenging to design and manufacture high SA/V ratio structures with desired functionalities. In this study, we established the complex correlations among the SA/V ratio, surface structure geometry, functionality, and manufacturability in the Two-Photon Polymerization (TPP) process. Inspired by numerous natural structures, we proposed a 3-level hierarchical structure design along with the mathematical modeling of the SA/V ratio. Geometric and manufacturing constraints were modeled to create well-defined three-dimensional hierarchically structured surfaces with a high accuracy. A process flowchart was developed to design the proposed surface structures to achieve the target functionality, SA/V ratio, and geometric accuracy. Surfaces with varied SA/V ratios and hierarchy levels were designed and printed. The wettability and antireflection properties of the fabricated surfaces were characterized. It was observed that the wetting and antireflection properties of the 3-level design could be easily tailored by adjusting the design parameter settings and hierarchy levels. Furthermore, the proposed surface structure could change a naturally-hydrophilic surface to near-superhydrophobic. Geometrical light trapping effects were enabled and the antireflection property could be significantly enhanced (>80% less reflection) by the proposed hierarchical surface structures. Experimental results implied the great potential of the proposed surface structures for various applications such as microfluidics, optics, energy, and interfaces.
