Transient Pressure and Temperature Field Measurements in a Lightly Loaded Circumferential Groove Journal Bearing from Startup to Steady-State Thermal Stabilization

The fluid film pressure and temperature fields have been measured simultaneously under laboratory conditions at one land of a circumferential groove journal bearing (CGJB), together with friction torque and oil flow rate, during a time span from stand-still startup to the development of a thermally stabilized steady operating regime.A very fine measurement grid—that is, 216 pressure and 180 temperature points spread across the axial and circumferential directions—has been obtained by joining and synchronizing measurements from separate test runs while rigorously re-creating the test conditions.The study confirmed that the pressure field is established faster than the temperature field, that film rupture occurs both from cavitation nuclei downstream the minimum film thickness and through air ingestion from the environment. Furthermore, the high pressures in the convergent zone stabilize relatively quickly, whereas the low pressures in the divergent zone cavitated region require a longer time to stabilize. The cavitated region reverse flow appearance has been identified thermally through upstream-oriented isotherms. This study is the first to present the transient evolutions of pressure and temperature fields.

GPU‐assisted real‐time coupling of blood flow and vessel wall

The vessel wall and the blood flow interact and influence each other, and real‐time coupling between them is of great importance to the virtual surgery as well as the research and diagnosis of vascular disease. On the basis of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), we present a new approach to solve non‐Newtonian viscous force of blood and a parallel mixed particles‐based coupling method for blood flow and vessel wall. Meanwhile, we also design a proxy particle‐based vessel wall force visualization method. Our method is as follows. Firstly, we solve the non‐Newtonian viscous forces of blood through the SPH method to discretize the Casson equation. Secondly, in each time step, we combine blood particles and sampling proxy particles on the blood vessel wall to form mixed particles and calculate the interaction forces through the SPH method between every pair of the neighboring mixed particles inside the graphics processing unit. Thirdly, the forces of the proxy particles will be mapped to the color display of the proxy particle. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is able to implement real‐time sizeable coupling of blood flow and vessel wall while mainly ensuring physical authenticity and it can also provide real‐time and obvious information about vessel wall force distribution.

A geometric approach to animating thin surface features in smoothed particle hydrodynamics water

We propose a geometric approach to animating thin surface features of smoothed particle hydrodynamics‐based water. Explicit interparticle connections are created among smoothed particle hydrodynamics particles to approximate the geometries of thin surfaces while addressing the issue of unresolved surface areas. The deformations measured on the connections actuate the animations of the surfaces by disconnecting the stretched and bent connections. The reconstruction of thin surfaces and the accuracy of the animation are improved by adding auxiliary particles over the connections via Poisson‐disk sampling.

Analysis of cohesive failure in adhesively bonded joints with the SSPH meshless method

Adhesives have become the method of choice for many structural joining applications. Therefore, there is a need for improved understanding of adhesive joint performance, especially their failure, under a variety of loading conditions. Various numerical methods have been proposed to predict the failure of adhesive bonded material systems. These methods generally use a cohesive zone model (CZM) to analyze crack initiation and failure loci. The CZM incorporates a traction–separation law which relates the jump in surface tractions with the jump in displacements of abutting nodes of the cohesive segment; the area under the curve relating these jumps equals the energy release rate which is determined from experimental data. Values of parameters in the CZM are usually obtained through the comparison of results of numerical simulations with the experimental data for pure mode I and mode II deformations. Here a numerical approach to simulate crack initiation and propagation has been developed by implementing CZM in the meshless method using the symmetric smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SSPH) basis functions, and using the design of experiments technique to find optimal values of CZM parameters for mode I failure. Unlike in the finite element method where a crack generally follows a path between element boundaries, in the meshless method a crack can follow the path dictated by the physics of the problem. The numerical technique has been used to study the initiation and propagation of a crack in a double cantilever beam under mode I and mixed mode in-plane loadings. Computed results are found to agree well with the corresponding experimental findings. Significant contributions of the work include the determination of optimum values of CZM parameters, and simulating mode I, mode II and mixed mode failures using a meshless method with the SSPH basis functions.
