An efficient surrogate modelling framework is proposed for full-field predictions of stresses and cracks in composite material microstructures. The comprises two sequential convolutional neural networks (CNNs), predicting the elastic stress fields local crack maps, respectively. Training test data are created from high-resolution fracture simulations randomly generated representative volume elements (RVEs), including geometric variabilities such as fibre fraction porosity. This work shows...
A local collocation method based on finite difference generated radial basis functions considering supplementary polynomials is used to solve the governing equations of cantilever piezoelectric smart beams. The natural modes vibration a bimorph and three-layered beam with an interior aluminium core are analysed for both open-circuit closed-circuit electrical boundary conditions. Very accurate results obtained at low computational cost. Subsequently, constant gain velocity feedback active...
This paper addresses the formulation of displacement based, non-linear, plate models adopting Eringen's non-local elasticity, to study modes vibration thin, nano plates. Plate governed by ordinary differential equations motion with generalized displacements as unknowns have some advantages over mixed type formulations, but difficulties arise in development such non-linear when effects are taken into account. To circumvent those difficulties, approximations debatable justification can be...
