面向复杂曲面结构高精度数字孪生的新型传感器优化布置方法
The complex shape of the structure and the new needs for high-precision in digital twin modeling pose challenges for sensor placement optimization. A novel optimal sensor placement towards the high-precision digital twin (OSP-HDT) method is proposed for complex curved structures. It comprises three key aspects. Firstly, leveraging the spatial dimensionality reduction method, the complex curved surface is simplified into a planar representation. Subsequently, candidate sensor placement points can be easily identified by dividing the background mesh in the plane and screening them within the curved surface. These candidate points are then binary encoded to facilitate the subsequent optimization. Secondly, the method collects result data from the finite element model, treating it as virtual sensor data. Using this data, a surrogate model is constructed and then the objective function is formulated based on both the global and local critical areas precision of the surrogate model. Thirdly, the sensor placement optimization model is constructed, followed by optimization design using the efficient multi-objective covariance matrix adaptive evolutionary strategy. Through the steps above, the optimal sensor placement can be identified. To validate the proposed OSP-HDT method, an experiment is conducted on an S-shaped variable cross-section stiffened shell, with the construction of the corresponding digital twin. Compared to the uniform placement with an equivalent number of sensors, the OSP-HDT method demonstrated a significant 9.0% improvement in global precision and a remarkable 62.1% enhancement in local precision of critical areas. Furthermore, when compared to the random sensor placement strategies, the OSP-HDT method exhibited a 20.5% increase in global precision, together with a 44.2% increase in the local precision. Notably, even when compared to the full sensor placement, the OSP-HDT method can maintain comparable local precision, while significantly reducing the number of sensors by 77.6%. The above comparison indicates that the proposed OSP-HDT method can build a digital twin model with higher global and local precision for complex structures.
结构的复杂形状和数字孪生建模对高精度的新要求对传感器的优化布置提出了挑战。针对复杂曲面结构,提出了一种面向高精度数字孪生(OSP-HDT)的传感器优化布置方法。它包括三个关键方面。首先,利用空间降维方法,将复杂曲面简化为平面表示;然后,通过在平面上划分背景网格并在曲面内进行筛选,可以很容易地识别出候选传感器放置点。然后对这些候选点进行二进制编码,以方便后续的优化。其次,该方法从有限元模型中收集结果数据,将其作为虚拟传感器数据处理;利用这些数据,构建代理模型,然后根据代理模型的全局和局部关键区域精度构造目标函数。第三,建立传感器布局优化模型,采用高效的多目标协方差矩阵自适应进化策略进行优化设计;通过以上步骤,可以确定传感器的最佳放置位置。为了验证所提出的ops - hdt方法,在s型变截面加筋壳上进行了实验,并构建了相应的数字孪生体。与同等数量传感器的均匀放置相比,op - hdt方法的全局精度提高了9.0%,关键区域的局部精度提高了62.1%。此外,与随机传感器放置策略相比,op - hdt方法的全局精度提高了20.5%,局部精度提高了44.2%。值得注意的是,即使与全传感器放置相比,OSP-HDT方法也可以保持相当的局部精度,同时显着减少了77.6%的传感器数量。上述对比表明,本文提出的op - hdt方法可以为复杂结构建立具有较高全局和局部精度的数字孪生模型。

锂-固体电解质界面电化学-机械失效建模:空隙演化和锂渗透
The solid-solid contact interface is crucial for the reliability of solid-state energy storage systems. The contact condition becomes more complicated when lithium (Li) metal is used as the anode. The contact between solid electrolyte (SE) and Li metal is inferior compared to the liquid/solid interface in conventional Li-ion batteries. Experimental evidence has shown that improper operating conditions of solid-state batteries can lead to electro-chemo-mechanical failures at the Li/SE interface, including the formation of voids and the penetration of Li. In this study, a unified phase-field model is developed to investigate these two mechanisms. The model considers the coupled electro-chemo-mechanical processes including void diffusion, lattice annihilation, stripping and plating reactions, and plastic deformation of Li metal. The study begins with a revisit of the deformation-mechanism map for Li metal under a wide range of temperatures, stress, and deformation rates. This map serves as the basis for the mechanical characterization in the phase-field model. The large inelastic deformation of Li is considered by introducing an advection term into the Allen-Cahn equation, which is used to describe the dynamic evolution of the Li and void phases. The effects of current density and stack pressure on void evolution and Li penetration are studied based on the model predictions. By combining the simulation results with the experimental data from publications, we obtain the stable operation zone of stack pressure and applied current density. In this zone, the Li/SE interface can enable stable stripping and plating of Li metal. The same phase-field modeling framework is transferred to investigate the Li-Mg alloy/SE interface considering Li-Mg alloy is also used as the anode. The fundamental difference between Li/SE and Li-Mg/SE is analyzed accordingly. This study provides a useful tool for the design, manufacturing, and management of next-generation batteries by providing important scientific insights into the electro-chemo-mechanical processes of different anode materials under various operational conditions.
固-固接触界面对固态储能系统的可靠性至关重要。当使用锂金属作为阳极时,接触条件变得更加复杂。与传统锂离子电池的液固界面相比,固体电解质(SE)与锂金属之间的接触较差。实验证据表明,固态电池的不当操作条件会导致Li/SE界面的电化学-机械失效,包括空隙的形成和Li的渗透。本文建立了一个统一的相场模型来研究这两种机制。该模型考虑了锂金属的空穴扩散、晶格湮灭、剥离和电镀反应以及塑性变形等电化学-力学耦合过程。该研究首先回顾了Li金属在各种温度、应力和变形速率下的变形机制图。该图是相场模型中力学表征的基础。通过在Allen-Cahn方程中引入平流项来描述Li相和空隙相的动态演化,考虑了Li的大非弹性变形。在模型预测的基础上,研究了电流密度和堆压对孔隙演化和锂渗透的影响。将模拟结果与文献实验数据相结合,得到了堆压和外加电流密度的稳定工作区域。在该区域,Li/SE界面可以稳定地剥离和镀上Li金属。采用相同的相场建模框架对Li-Mg合金/SE界面进行研究,同时考虑Li-Mg合金也作为阳极。分析了Li/SE与Li- mg /SE的根本区别。本研究通过对不同阳极材料在不同操作条件下的电化学-机械过程提供重要的科学见解,为下一代电池的设计,制造和管理提供了有用的工具。

相变铁电纳米柱的孪生、滑移和尺寸效应
Ferroelectric materials are widely used in energy applications due to their field-driven multiferroic properties. The stress-induced phase transformation plays an important role in the functionality over repeated and consecutive operation cycles, especially at the micro/nanoscales. Here we report a systematic in-situ uniaxial compression tests on cuboidal Barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanopillars with size varying from 100 nm to 3000 nm, by which we explore the stress-induced transformation and its interplay with plastic deformation. We confirm the superelasticity achieved in pillars by martensitic phase transformation from tetragonal to orthorhombic. There exists a critical size, 330 nm, for the yield stress. Above 330 nm, martensitic phase transformation aids slip along the plane with a low Schmid factor, in turn, the pseudo-compatible twins form within the shear band. The scaling exponent of size-dependent yield strength is found to be exactly 1. For nanopillars smaller than 330 nm, no twins form, only slips with large Schmid factors are activated, and size effect vanishes. All pillars with sizes from 100 nm to 300 nm achieve the theoretical yield limit around 9 GPa. Our experimental results uncover the interplay between twins and slips in BaTiO3 nanopillars, which pave the way for the optimization of microstructure design of ferroelectric materials for microelectronic applications at small scales.
铁电材料因其场驱动的多铁性而被广泛应用于能源领域。应力诱导的相变在反复连续的运行周期中对其功能起着重要作用,尤其是在微米/纳米尺度上。在此,我们报告了对尺寸从 100 纳米到 3000 纳米不等的立方体钛酸钡(BaTiO3)纳米柱进行的系统性原位单轴压缩试验,通过该试验,我们探索了应力诱导的转变及其与塑性变形之间的相互作用。我们证实了通过从四方到正方的马氏体相变实现的超弹性。屈服应力存在一个临界尺寸,即 330 nm。在 330 nm 以上,马氏体相变有助于沿具有低施密特因子的平面滑移,反过来,假相容孪晶在剪切带内形成。与尺寸相关的屈服强度的比例指数恰好为 1。对于小于 330 nm 的纳米柱,没有孪晶形成,只有大施密特因子的滑移被激活,尺寸效应消失。所有尺寸从 100 纳米到 300 纳米的柱子都达到了 9 GPa 左右的理论屈服极限。我们的实验结果揭示了 BaTiO3 纳米柱中孪晶和滑移之间的相互作用,为优化小尺度微电子应用领域铁电材料的微结构设计铺平了道路。

应力对螺位错相互作用模式和交叉滑移湮没距离的影响
Phase field microelasticity model is used to study the cross-slip and annihilation of screw dislocations in face-centered cubic crystals, revealing the non-negligible effects of Escaig stress on dislocation interactions. We find that the Escaig stress (in the direction that expands the stacking fault width) promotes the partial dislocation interactions and the Fleischer cross-slip mechanism. In addition to three fundamental dislocation interaction modes, three new dislocation interaction modes emerge with the formation of parallel stacking fault bands. Furthermore, with the increasing of Escaig stress, the critical annihilation distance in dislocation interactions can be appropriately reduced. This research provides novel insights for manipulating strain hardening and understanding the formation of dislocation patterns.
采用相场微弹性模型研究了面心立方晶体中螺位错的交叉滑移和湮灭,揭示了Escaig应力对位错相互作用的不可忽略的影响。研究发现,Escaig应力(在扩展层错宽度的方向上)促进了部分位错相互作用和Fleischer交叉滑移机制。除了三种基本的位错相互作用模式外,随着平行堆积断层带的形成,还出现了三种新的位错相互作用模式。此外,随着Escaig应力的增大,位错相互作用的临界湮灭距离可以适当减小。该研究为控制应变硬化和理解位错模式的形成提供了新的见解。

异型薄壁管的耐撞性分析与优化设计,试验与数值模拟相结合
Thin-walled structures are widely used as typical high-efficiency energy-absorbing structures in crash safety protection. This paper aims to combine the characteristic of the square tube which concentrates energy dissipation through angle elements with the stable fold deformation of the circular tube, and innovatively propose a special-shaped thin-walled tube that contains both angle elements and arc elements. The failure behavior and energy absorption characteristics of the special-shaped tube were investigated by compression test and numerical simulation. The simulation results showed that the special-shaped thin-walled tubes have a significant advantage in energy absorption, and the specific energy absorption of the special-shaped tubes is 31.57% and 75.2% higher than that of the equal-mass circular and square tubes, respectively. Next, through finite element analysis, the effects of various parameters and initial imperfections on the crashworthiness of the special-shaped tubes were compared. The results indicated that adjustments to geometrical parameters significantly impact the energy absorption properties and crushing behavior of thin-walled tubes. Moreover, the tube with induced circular holes exhibited an optimal deformation mode. Further, a multi-objective optimal design of the metal special-shaped tube was carried out to obtain the best parameter configuration of the metal special-shaped tube. Finally, the special-shaped structure was extended to CFRP/AL hybrid thin-walled tubes. The failure behavior and energy absorption enhancement mechanism of the hybrid special-shaped tubes were investigated with experiments, and the absorbed energy of the hybrid tube was about 20% higher than the sum of the absorbed energy of the single constituent tubes. The effect of the CFRP lay-up pattern on the crashworthiness of the hybrid tube was investigated by numerical simulation, and it was found that the energy absorption capacity of the hybrid tube could be improved by appropriately increasing the number of layers and the proportion of axial fibers.

柔性纳米薄膜与平面刚性衬底接触时的剥离行为:来自分子动力学和连续介质力学的见解
Peeling compliant nano-films from supporting substrates is crucial in the mechanical exfoliation and transfer processes. However, the peeling behavior, especially concerning the peeling stiffness and peak peeling force, exhibits intricate interplay with the geometric and material properties of nano-films, as well as interfacial interactions, which have yet to be fully elucidated. In this work, both classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and continuum analysis are adopted to investigate the entire peeling process of compliant nano-films from a planar rigid substrate. Considering the atomic structure and van der Waals (vdW) interactions at the interface, we establish a continuum mechanics model to describe the entire peeling process, encompassing the initial, transitional, steady-state, and unstable peel-off stages. The theoretical predictions are reasonably consistent with the results obtained by MD simulations. The effects of film length and interface toughness on the peeling process, the peeling stiffness and peak peeling force, are thoroughly investigated, and a phase diagram for the peeling deformation modes is quantitatively constructed. Finally, dimensional analysis yields scaling relations for the peak peeling force in terms of the length and bending stiffness of compliant nano-films, as well as the governing parameters for interfacial vdW interactions. These results contribute to a better understanding of the peeling mechanics of various two-dimensional nano-films (e.g., graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and molybdenum disulfide) adhered to substrates.
在机械剥离和转移过程中,从支撑基材上剥离柔顺纳米薄膜是至关重要的。然而,剥离行为,特别是剥离刚度和峰值剥离力,与纳米膜的几何和材料性质以及界面相互作用有着复杂的相互作用,这些相互作用尚未得到充分的阐明。本文采用经典分子动力学(MD)模拟和连续介质分析两种方法研究了柔性纳米薄膜从平面刚性衬底上剥离的整个过程。考虑到原子结构和界面处的范德华相互作用,我们建立了一个连续介质力学模型来描述整个剥离过程,包括初始剥离、过渡剥离、稳态剥离和不稳定剥离阶段。理论预测与MD模拟结果基本一致。深入研究了薄膜长度和界面韧性对剥离过程、剥离刚度和剥离峰值力的影响,并定量构建了剥离变形模式的相图。最后,通过量纲分析得出了峰值剥离力与柔性纳米薄膜长度和弯曲刚度之间的比例关系,以及界面vdW相互作用的控制参数。这些结果有助于更好地理解附着在衬底上的各种二维纳米薄膜(如石墨烯、六方氮化硼和二硫化钼)的剥离机制。
