This study presents a data-driven finite element-machine learning surrogate model for predicting the end-to-end full-field stress distribution and stress concentration around an arbitrary-shaped inclusion. This is important because the model’s capacity to handle large datasets, consider...

In this paper, a piezoelectric energy harvester with a grounded and tunable multi-stable nonlinear energy sink (NES) has been developed to achieve vibration suppression (VS) and energy harvesting (EH) simultaneously. The NES consists of a cantilever beam whose free end is attached by a small...

Canada has many isolated communities that are not connected to the electrical grid. Most of these communities meet their electricity demand through stand-alone diesel generators. Diesel generators have economic and environmental concerns that can be minimized by using hybrid renewable energy...

The life cycle energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission performances of forest biomass-derived oxymethylene ether (OME) synthesis used as a diesel additive are analyzed in this study. OME, a new alternative liquid fuel, has great miscibility with conventional fuels like diesel. OME...

Microstructures on insect wings can promote directional drop shedding, and the local orientation of these structures is expected to facilitate drop removal. However, microstructures may exhibit very different orientations at different locations on the wing. Using the march fly Penthetria...

Abstract—Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE) is a non-traditional micro-machining technology, with one of its unique characteristics being the physical distance relationship between the tool and workpiece during machining. Previous papers have illustrated that maintaining space between the...

Parameters of the honeycomb core, such as cell size and foil thickness, as well a s the material of the core, influence the ballistic performance of honeycomb-core sandwich panels (HCSP) in the case of hypervelocity impact (HVI) by orbital debris. A dedicated ballistic limit equation (BLE) that...

Based on ductility exhaustion theory and the generalized energy-based damage parameter, a new viscosity-based life prediction model is introduced to account for the mean strain/stress effects in the low cycle fatigue regime. The loading waveform parameters and cyclic hardening effects are also...
