Abstract An explicit topology optimization-based design paradigm is proposed for the design of photonic topological crystalline insulators (TCIs). To strictly guarantee the topological property, rational engineering of symmetry-indicators is carried out by mathematical programming, which simultaneously maximizes the width of nontrivial topological band gaps and achieves the desired quantized bulk polarization. Our approach is successfully applied to design photonic TCIs with time-reversal symmetry in two-dimensional point groups, higher-order magnetic TCIs, and higher-order photonic TCIs. This methodology paves the way for inverse design of optimized photonic/phononic, multiphysics, and multifunctional three-dimensional TCIs.

AbstractMetasurfaces have provided unprecedented freedom for manipulating electromagnetic waves. In metasurface design, massive meta-atoms have to be optimized to produce the desired phase profiles, which is time-consuming and sometimes prohibitive. In this paper, we propose a fast accurate inverse method of designing functional metasurfaces based on transfer learning, which can generate metasurface patterns monolithically from input phase profiles for specific functions. A transfer learning network based on GoogLeNet-Inception-V3 can predict the phases of 28×8 meta-atoms with an accuracy of around 90%. This method is validated via functional metasurface design using the trained network. Metasurface patterns are generated monolithically for achieving two typical functionals, 2D focusing and abnormal reflection. Both simulation and experiment verify the high design accuracy. This method provides an inverse design paradigm for fast functional metasurface design, and can be readily used to establish a meta-atom library with full phase span.

A high-order compact-differencing and filtering algorithm, coupled with the classical fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme, is developed and implemented to simulate aeroacoustic phenomena on curvilinear geometries. Several issues pertinent to the use of such schemes are addressed. The impact of mesh stretching in the generation of high-frequency spurious modes is examined and the need for a discriminating higher-order filter procedure is established and resolved. The incorporation of these filtering techniques also permits a robust treatment of outflow radiation condition by taking advantage of energy transfer to high-frequencies caused by rapid mesh stretching. For conditions on the scatterer, higher-order one-sided filter treatments are shown to be superior in terms of accuracy and stability compared to standard explicit variations. Computations demonstrate that these algorithmic components are also crucial to the success of interface treatments created in multi-domain and domain-decomposition strategies. For three-dimensional computations, special metric relations are employed to assure the fidelity of the scheme in highly curvilinear meshes. A variety of problems, including several benchmark computations, demonstrate the success of the overall computational strategy.

This paper will try to overcome two difficulties encountered by the C0 three-node triangular element based on the displacement-based higher-order models. They are (i) transverse shear stresses computed from constitutive equations vanish at the clamped edges, and (ii) it is difficult to accurately produce the transverse shear stresses even using the integration of the three-dimensional equilibrium equation. Invalidation of the equilibrium equation approach ought to attribute to the higher-order derivations of displacement parameters involved in transverse shear stress components after integrating three-dimensional equilibrium equation. Thus, the higher-order derivatives of displacement parameters will be taken out from transverse shear stress field by using the three-field Hu–Washizu variational principle before the finite element procedure is implemented. Therefore, such method is named as the preprocessing method for transverse shear stresses in present work. Because the higher-order derivatives of displacement parameters have been eliminated, a C0 three-node triangular element based on the higher-order zig-zag theory can be presented by using the linear interpolation function. Performance of the proposed element is numerically evaluated by analyzing multilayered sandwich plates with different loading conditions, lamination sequences, material constants and boundary conditions, and it can be found that the present model works well in the finite element framework.

This article proposes an acoustic nonlinear approach combined with the time reversal technique to image cracks in long bones. In this method, the scattered ultrasound generated from the crack is recorded, and the third harmonic nonlinear component of the ultrasonic signal is used to reconstruct an image of the crack by the time reversal process. Numerical simulations are performed to examine the validity of this approach. The fatigue long bone is modeled as a hollow cylinder with a crack of 1, 0.1, and 0.225 mm in axial, radial and circumferential directions respectively. A broadband 500 kHz ultrasonic signal is used as the exciting signal, and the extended three-dimensional Preisach-Mayergoyz model is used to describe the nonclassical nonlinear dynamics of the crack. Time reversal is carried out by using the filtered third harmonic component. The localization capability depends on the radial depth of the crack.
