CAD-compatible structural shape optimization with a movable Bézier tetrahedral mesh
Jorge López, Cosmin Anitescu, Timon Rabczuk
This paper presents the development of a complete CAD-compatible framework for structural shape optimization in 3D. The boundaries of the domain are described using NURBS while the…
A discontinuous Galerkin method based isogeometric analysis framework for flexoelectricity in micro-architected dielectric solids
Saurav Sharma, Cosmin Anitescu, Timon Rabczuk
Flexoelectricity - the generation of electric field in response to a strain gradient - is a universal electromechanical coupling, dominant only at small scales due to its requireme…
Boosting output performance of contact-separation mode triboelectric nanogenerators by adopting discontinuity and fringing effect: experiment and modelling studies
Teresa Cheng, Han Hu, Navid Valizadeh +6
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are promising self-powering supplies for a diverse range of intelligent sensing and monitoring devices, especially due to their capability of h…
Phase field method for quasi-static hydro-fracture in porous media under stress boundary condition considering the effect of initial stress field
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk
Phase field model (PFM) is an efficient fracture modeling method and has high potential for hydraulic fracturing (HF). However, the current PFMs in HF do not consider well the effe…
Phase-field modeling of fluid-driven dynamic cracking in porous media
Shuwei Zhou, Xiaoying Zhuang, Timon Rabczuk
A phase field model for fluid-driven dynamic crack propagation in poroelastic media is proposed. Therefore, classical Biot poroelasticity theory is applied in the porous medium whi…
Phase field modeling and computer implementation: A review
X. Zhuang, S. Zhou, G. D. Huynh +2
This paper presents an overview of the theories and computer implementation aspects of phase field models (PFM) of fracture. The advantage of PFM over discontinuous approaches to f…
