The nonlinear vibrations developing in sheets and strips during rolling are of practical technological importance theoretical interest. However, the existing numerical methods adopted research plagued by problems such as computational inefficiency, difficulty dealing with bifurcations, slow convergence frequency cancellations. This study develops an analytical method for solving problem rolled strip quasi‐periodic motions resonant state. First, conventional incremental harmonic balance is...

Rapidly solidified ZrO 2 (Y O 3 )–Al powders were prepared by melting fine‐particle aggregates in a high‐enthalpy plasma flame and then rapidly quenching them cold water or on copper chill plate. To ensure complete homogenization of all the particles before quenching, water‐quenching treatment was often repeated two even three times. The resulting melt‐quenched splats displayed variety metastable structures, depending composition cooling rate. ‐rich material developed an extended solid...

Concrete is usually considered to be a two-phase material for the prediction of its mechanical properties. More research has, however, shown that there exists an interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between aggregates and cement paste. As such, concrete should modelled as three-phase at mesoscopic level. This paper presents numerical method can predict elastic modulus with reasonable accuracy. In this method, mesostructure simulated finite element employed stress analysis in concrete. addition,...

Abstract The simulation model represents the microstructure that can accurately analyze and predict composites’ micro-stresses mechanical properties. conventional representative volume element (RVE) only contain one single-particle form. It makes all particles in have same shape, which is significantly different from actual particles. In present study, four typical particle-modeling methods were adopted to establish geometric models particle morphology RVE size selection rules. Particles...
