Abstract A methodology is developed for switching from a continuum to discrete discontinuity where the governing partial differential equation loses hyperbolicity. The approach limited rate‐independent materials, so that transition occurs on set of measure zero. treated by extended finite element method (XFEM) whereby arbitrary discontinuities can be incorporated in model without remeshing. Loss hyperbolicity tracked indicator enables both crack speed and direction determined given material...
Abstract An extended finite element method scheme for a static cohesive crack is developed with new formulation elements containing tips. This can treat arbitrary cracks independent of the mesh and growth without remeshing. All cracked are enriched by sign function so that no blending local partition unity required. able to entire only one type enrichment function, including tip. applied linear 3‐node triangular quadratic 6‐node elements. To ensure smooth closing crack, stress projection...
A stretchable polyaniline nanofiber temperature sensor array with an active matrix consisting of single-walled carbon nanotube thin-film transistors is demonstrated. The integrated gives mechanical stability under biaxial stretching 30%, and the resultant spatial mapping does not show any or electrical degradation.

The material are implicitly represented by level sets which identified applying regularization using total variation penalty terms. solved iteratively and extended finite element method used for analysis each iteration. formulation presented three-dimensional structures inclusions made different materials detected multiple sets. results obtained prove that iterative procedure...
Abstract We have developed a new crack tip element for the phantom‐node method. In this method, can be placed inside an element. Therefore, cracks propagate almost independent of finite mesh. two different formulations three‐node triangular and four‐node quadrilateral element, respectively. Although method is well suited one‐point quadrature scheme, it used with other general schemes. provide some numerical examples static dynamic problems. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Abstract A method for modelling the growth of multiple cracks in linear elastic media is presented. Both homogeneous and inhomogeneous materials are considered.

We report on the fabrication of a biaxially stretchable array high performance microsupercapacitors (MSCs) deformable substrate. The substrate is designed to suppress local strain applied active devices by locally implanting pieces stiff polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films within soft elastomer Ecoflex. A suppressed region formed top surface substrate, below which PET are implanted. Active placed this can be isolated from strain. Analysis distribution finite element method confirms that...
A stretchable multisensor system is successfully demonstrated with an integrated energy-storage device, array of microsupercapacitors that can be repeatedly charged via a wireless radio-frequency power receiver on the same polymer substrate. The devices are interconnected by liquid-metal interconnection and operate stably without noticeable performance degradation under strain due to skin attachment, uniaxial up 50%. As service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting...
This paper presents a novel numerical procedure based on the combination of an edge-based smoothed finite element (ES-FEM) with phantom-node method for 2D linear elastic fracture mechanics. In standard method, cracks are formulated by adding phantom nodes, and cracked is replaced two new superimposed elements. approach quite simple to implement into existing explicit programs. The shape functions associated discontinuous elements similar those elements, which leads certain simplification...
