The NOM is based on so-called support, dual-support, nonlocal operators, and an operate energy functional ensuring stability. The nonlocal operator is a generalization of the conventional differential operators. Combined with the method of weighed residuals and variational principles, NOM establishes the residual and tangent stiffness matrix of operate energy functional through some simple matrix without the need of shape functions as in other classical computational methods such as FEM. NOM only requires the definition of the energy drastically simplifying its implementation. The implementation in this paper is focused on linear elastic solids for sake of conciseness through the NOM can handle more complex nonlinear problems. The NOM can be very flexible and efficient to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), it's also quite easy for readers to use the NOM and extend it to solve other complicated physical phenomena described by one or a set of PDEs. Finally, we present some classical benchmark problems including the classical cantilever beam and plate-with-a-hole problem, and we also make an extension of this method to solve complicated problems including phase-field fracture modeling and gradient elasticity material.}, subject = {Strukturmechanik}, language = {en} } @article{ReichertOlneyLahmer, author = {Reichert, Ina and Olney, Peter and Lahmer, Tom}, title = {Combined approach for optimal sensor placement and experimental verification in the context of tower-like structures}, series = {Journal of Civil Structural Health Monitoring}, volume = {2021}, journal = {Journal of Civil Structural Health Monitoring}, number = {volume 11}, publisher = {Heidelberg}, address = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/s13349-020-00448-7}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210804-44701}, pages = {223 -- 234}, abstract = {When it comes to monitoring of huge structures, main issues are limited time, high costs and how to deal with the big amount of data. In order to reduce and manage them, respectively, methods from the field of optimal design of experiments are useful and supportive. Having optimal experimental designs at hand before conducting any measurements is leading to a highly informative measurement concept, where the sensor positions are optimized according to minimal errors in the structures' models. For the reduction of computational time a combined approach using Fisher Information Matrix and mean-squared error in a two-step procedure is proposed under the consideration of different error types. The error descriptions contain random/aleatoric and systematic/epistemic portions. Applying this combined approach on a finite element model using artificial acceleration time measurement data with artificially added errors leads to the optimized sensor positions. These findings are compared to results from laboratory experiments on the modeled structure, which is a tower-like structure represented by a hollow pipe as the cantilever beam. Conclusively, the combined approach is leading to a sound experimental design that leads to a good estimate of the structure's behavior and model parameters without the need of preliminary measurements for model updating.}, subject = {Strukturmechanik}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Schemmann, author = {Schemmann, Christoph}, title = {Optimierung von radialen Verdichterlaufr{\"a}dern unter Ber{\"u}cksichtigung empirischer und analytischer Vorinformationen mittels eines mehrstufigen Sampling Verfahrens}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3974}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20190910-39748}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {233}, abstract = {Turbomachinery plays an important role in many cases of energy generation or conversion. Therefore, turbomachinery is a promising approaching point for optimization in order to increase the efficiency of energy use. In recent years, the use of automated optimization strategies in combination with numerical simulation has become increasingly popular in many fields of engineering. The complex interactions between fluid and solid mechanics encountered in turbomachines on the one hand and the high computational expense needed to calculate the performance on the other hand, have, however, prevented a widespread use of these techniques in this field of engineering. The objective of this work was the development of a strategy for efficient metamodel based optimization of centrifugal compressor impellers. In this context, the main focus is the reduction of the required numerical expense. The central idea followed in this research was the incorporation of preliminary information acquired from low-fidelity computation methods and empirical correlations into the sampling process to identify promising regions of the parameter space. This information was then used to concentrate the numerically expensive high-fidelity computations of the fluid dynamic and structure mechanic performance of the impeller in these regions while still maintaining a good coverage of the whole parameter space. The development of the optimization strategy can be divided into three main tasks. Firstly, the available preliminary information had to be researched and rated. This research identified loss models based on one dimensional flow physics and empirical correlations as the best suited method to predict the aerodynamic performance. The loss models were calibrated using available performance data to obtain a high prediction quality. As no sufficiently exact models for the prediction of the mechanical loading of the impellercould be identified, a metamodel based on finite element computations was chosen for this estimation. The second task was the development of a sampling method which concentrates samples in regions of the parameter space where high quality designs are predicted by the preliminary information while maintaining a good overall coverage. As available methods like rejection sampling or Markov-chain Monte-Carlo methods did not meet the requirements in terms of sample distribution and input correlation, a new multi-fidelity sampling method called "Filtered Sampling"has been developed. The last task was the development of an automated computational workflow. This workflow encompasses geometry parametrization, geometry generation, grid generation and computation of the aerodynamic performance and the structure mechanic loading. Special emphasis was put into the development of a geometry parametrization strategy based on fluid mechanic considerations to prevent the generation of physically inexpedient designs. Finally, the optimization strategy, which utilizes the previously developed tools, was successfully employed to carry out three optimization tasks. The efficiency of the method was proven by the first and second testcase where an existing compressor design was optimized by the presented method. The results were comparable to optimizations which did not take preliminary information into account, while the required computational expense cloud be halved. In the third testcase, the method was applied to generate a new impeller design. In contrast to the previous examples, this optimization featuredlargervariationsoftheimpellerdesigns. Therefore, theapplicability of the method to parameter spaces with significantly varying designs could be proven, too.}, subject = {Simulation}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Vollmering, author = {Vollmering, Max}, title = {Damage Localization of Mechanical Structures by Subspace Identification and Krein Space Based H-infinity Estimation}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3772}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20180730-37728}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {205}, abstract = {This dissertation is devoted to the theoretical development and experimental laboratory verification of a new damage localization method: The state projection estimation error (SP2E). This method is based on the subspace identification of mechanical structures, Krein space based H-infinity estimation and oblique projections. To explain method SP2E, several theories are discussed and laboratory experiments have been conducted and analysed. A fundamental approach of structural dynamics is outlined first by explaining mechanical systems based on first principles. Following that, a fundamentally different approach, subspace identification, is comprehensively explained. While both theories, first principle and subspace identification based mechanical systems, may be seen as widespread methods, barely known and new techniques follow up. Therefore, the indefinite quadratic estimation theory is explained. Based on a Popov function approach, this leads to the Krein space based H-infinity theory. Subsequently, a new method for damage identification, namely SP2E, is proposed. Here, the introduction of a difference process, the analysis by its average process power and the application of oblique projections is discussed in depth. Finally, the new method is verified in laboratory experiments. Therefore, the identification of a laboratory structure at Leipzig University of Applied Sciences is elaborated. Then structural alterations are experimentally applied, which were localized by SP2E afterwards. In the end four experimental sensitivity studies are shown and discussed. For each measurement series the structural alteration was increased, which was successfully tracked by SP2E. The experimental results are plausible and in accordance with the developed theories. By repeating these experiments, the applicability of SP2E for damage localization is experimentally proven.}, subject = {Strukturmechanik}, language = {en} } @article{ZhangNanthakumarLahmeretal.,

In particular, we show that the cross-pucker interaction enables the pucker to act as a re-entrant hinge, which expands in the lateral direction when it is stretched in the longitudinal direction. As a consequence, single-layered black phosphorus has a negative Poisson's ratio in the direction perpendicular to the atomic plane. As an additional demonstration of the impact of the cross-pucker interaction, we show that it is also the key factor that enables capturing the edge stress-induced bending of single-layered black

Such an understanding is critical for engineers and scientists developing new materials with higher strength and toughness, developing robust designs against failure, or for those concerned with an accurate estimate of a component's design life. Defects like cracks and dislocations evolve at nano scales and influence the macroscopic properties such as strength, toughness and ductility of a material. In engineering applications, the global response of the system is often governed by the behaviour at the smaller length scales. Hence, the sub-scale behaviour must be computed accurately for good predictions of the full scale behaviour. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations promise to reveal the fundamental mechanics of material failure by modeling the atom to atom interactions. Since the atomistic dimensions are of the order of Angstroms ( A), approximately 85 billion atoms are required to model a 1 micro- m^3 volume of Copper. Therefore, pure atomistic models are prohibitively expensive with everyday engineering computations involving macroscopic cracks and shear bands, which are much larger than the atomistic length and time scales. To reduce the computational effort, multiscale methods are required, which are able to couple a continuum description of the structure with an atomistic description. In such paradigms, cracks and dislocations are explicitly modeled at the atomistic scale, whilst a self-consistent continuum model elsewhere. Many multiscale methods for fracture are developed for "fictitious" materials based on "simple" potentials such as the Lennard-Jones potential. Moreover, multiscale methods for evolving cracks are rare. Efficient methods to coarse grain the fine scale defects are missing. However, the existing multiscale methods for fracture do not adaptively adjust the fine scale domain as the crack propagates. Most methods, therefore only "enlarge" the fine scale domain and therefore drastically increase computational cost. Adaptive adjustment requires the fine scale domain to be refined and coarsened. One of the major difficulties in multiscale methods for fracture is to up-scale fracture related material information from the fine scale to the coarse scale, in particular for complex crack problems. Most of the existing approaches therefore were applied to examples with comparatively few macroscopic cracks. Key contributions The bridging scale method is enhanced using the phantom node method so that cracks can be modeled at the coarse scale. To ensure self-consistency in the bulk, a virtual atom cluster is devised providing the response of the intact material at the coarse scale. A molecular statics model is employed in the fine scale where crack propagation is modeled by naturally breaking the bonds. The fine scale and coarse scale models are coupled by enforcing the displacement boundary conditions on the ghost atoms. An energy criterion is used to detect the crack tip location. Adaptive refinement and coarsening schemes are developed and implemented during the crack propagation. The results were observed to be in excellent agreement with the pure atomistic simulations. The developed multiscale method is one of the first adaptive multiscale method for fracture. A robust and simple three dimensional coarse graining technique to convert a given atomistic region into an equivalent coarse region, in the context of multiscale fracture has been developed. The developed method is the first of its kind. The developed coarse graining technique can be applied to identify and upscale the defects like: cracks, dislocations and shear bands. The current method has been applied to estimate the equivalent coarse scale models of several complex fracture patterns arrived from the pure atomistic simulations. The upscaled fracture pattern agree well with the actual fracture pattern. The error in the potential energy of the pure atomistic and the coarse grained model was observed to be acceptable. A first novel meshless adaptive multiscale method for fracture has been developed. The phantom node method is replaced by a meshless differential reproducing kernel particle method. The differential reproducing kernel particle method is comparatively more expensive but allows for a more "natural" coupling between the two scales due to the meshless interpolation functions. The higher order continuity is also beneficial. The centro symmetry parameter is used to detect the crack tip location. The developed multiscale method is employed to study the complex crack propagation. Results based on the meshless adaptive multiscale method were observed to be in excellent agreement with the pure atomistic simulations. The developed multiscale methods are applied to study the fracture in practical materials like Graphene and Graphene on Silicon surface. The bond stretching and the bond reorientation were observed to be the net mechanisms of the crack growth in Graphene. The influence of time step on the crack propagation was studied using two different time steps. Pure atomistic simulations of fracture in Graphene on Silicon surface are presented. Details of the three dimensional multiscale method to study the fracture in Graphene on Silicon surface are discussed.}, subject = {Material}, language = {en} } @article{HamdiaLahmerNguyenThoietal., author = {Hamdia, Khader and Lahmer, Tom and Nguyen-Thoi, T. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Predicting The Fracture Toughness of PNCs: A Stochastic Approach Based on ANN and ANFIS}, series = {Computational Materials Science}, journal = {Computational Materials Science}, pages = {304 -- 313}, abstract = {Predicting The Fracture Toughness of PNCs: A Stochastic Approach Based on ANN and ANFIS}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NguyenThanhValizadehNguyenetal., author = {Nguyen-Thanh, Nhon and Valizadeh, Navid and Nguyen, Manh Hung and Nguyen-Xuan, Hung and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Areias, Pedro and Zi, Goangseup and Bazilevs, Yuri and De Lorenzis, Laura and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {An extended isogeometric thin shell analysis based on Kirchhoff-Love theory}, series = {Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering}, journal = {Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering}, pages = {265 -- 291}, abstract = {An extended isogeometric thin shell analysis based on Kirchho_-Love theory}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{RabizadehSaboorBagherzadehRabczuk, author = {Rabizadeh, Ehsan and Saboor Bagherzadeh, Amir and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Application of goal-oriented error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement on thermo-mechanical multifield problems}, series = {Computational Materials Science}, journal = {Computational Materials Science}, pages = {27 -- 44}, abstract = {Application of goal-oriented error estimation and adaptive mesh re_nement on thermo-mechanical multi_eld problems}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{GhorashiValizadehMohammadietal., author = {Ghorashi, Seyed Shahram and Valizadeh, Navid and Mohammadi, S. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {T-spline based XIGA for Fracture Analysis of Orthotropic Media}, series = {Computers \& Structures}, journal = {Computers \& Structures}, pages = {138 -- 146}, abstract = {T-spline based XIGA for Fracture Analysis of Orthotropic Media}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Itam, author = {Itam, Zarina}, title = {Numerical Simulation of Thermo-Chemo-Hygro-Mechanical Alkali-Silica Reaction Model in Concrete at the Mesoscale and Macroscale}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2335}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20141218-23352}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {164}, abstract = {Alkali-silica reaction causes major problems in concrete structures due to the rapidity of its deformation which leads to the serviceability limit of the structure being reached well before its time. Factors that affect ASR vary greatly, including alkali and silica content, relative humidity, temperature and porosity of the cementitious matrix,all these making it a very complex phenomenon to consider explicitly. With this in mind, the finite element technique was used to build models and generate expansive pressures and damage propagation due to ASR under the influence of thermo-hygrochemoelastic loading. Since ASR initializes in the mesoscopic regions of the concrete, the accumulative effects of its expansion escalates onto the macroscale level with the development of web cracking on the concrete surface, hence solution of the damage model as well as simulation of the ASR phenomenon at both the macroscale and mesoscale levels have been performed. The macroscale model realizes the effects of ASR expansion as a whole and shows how it develops under the influence of moisture, thermal and mechanical loading. Results of the macroscale modeling are smeared throughout the structure and are sufficient to show how damage due to ASR expansion orientates. As opposed to the mesoscale model, the heterogeneity of the model shows us how difference in material properties between aggregates and the cementitious matrix facilitates ASR expansion. With both these models, the ASR phenomenon under influence of thermo-chemo-hygro-mechanical loading can be better understood.}, subject = {Strukturmechanik}, language = {en} } @article{XuMourrainGalligoetal., author = {Xu, G. and Mourrain, B. and Galligo, A. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {High-quality construction of analysis-suitable trivariate NURBS solids by reparameterization methods}, series = {Computational Mechanics}, journal = {Computational Mechanics}, abstract = {High-quality construction of analysis-suitable trivariate NURBS solids by reparameterization methods}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{SilaniZiaeiRadTalebietal., author = {Silani, Mohammad and Ziaei-Rad, S. and Talebi, Hossein and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A Semi-Concurrent Multiscale Approach for Modeling Damage in Nanocomposites}, series = {Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics}, journal = {Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics}, abstract = {A Semi-Concurrent Multiscale Approach for Modeling Damage in Nanocomposites}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{AmaniBagherzadehRabczuk, author = {Amani, Jafar and Bagherzadeh, Amir Saboor and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Error estimate and adaptive refinement in Mixed Discrete Least Squares Meshless method}, series = {Mathematical Problems in Engineering}, journal = {Mathematical Problems in Engineering}, abstract = {Error estimate and adaptive refinement in Mixed Discrete Least Squares Meshless method}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{ZhaoJiangWangetal., author = {Zhao, Jiyun and Jiang, Jin-Wu and Wang, L. and Guo, Wanlin and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Coarse-grained potentials of single-walled carbon nanotubes}, series = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, journal = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, abstract = {Coarse-grained potentials of single-walled carbon nanotubes}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{AreiasRabczukBarbosa, author = {Areias, Pedro and Rabczuk, Timon and Barbosa, J.I.}, title = {The extended unsymmetric frontal solution for multiple-point constraints}, series = {Engineering Computations}, journal = {Engineering Computations}, abstract = {The extended unsymmetric frontal solution for multiple-point constraints}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{VuBacLahmerZhangetal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Lahmer, Tom and Zhang, Yancheng and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Stochastic predictions of interfacial characteristic of polymeric nanocomposites (PNCs)}, series = {Composites Part B Engineering}, journal = {Composites Part B Engineering}, pages = {80 -- 95}, abstract = {Stochastic predictions of interfacial characteristic of polymeric nanocomposites (PNCs)}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{JoshiHildebrandAloraieretal., author = {Joshi, Suraj and Hildebrand, J{\"o}rg and Aloraier, Abdulkareem S. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Characterization of material properties and heat source parameters in welding simulation of two overlapping beads on a substrate plate}, series = {Computational Materials Science}, journal = {Computational Materials Science}, doi = {10.1016/j.commatsci.2012.11.029}, pages = {559 -- 565}, abstract = {This paper presents several aspects of characterization of welding heat source parameters in Goldak's double ellipsoidal model using Sysweld simulation of welding of two overlapping beads on a substrate steel plate.

The convective and radiative heat transfer coefficients as well as the cooling time t8/5 were estimated using numerical formulations from relevant standards. The effects of the simulation geometry and mesh discretization were evaluated in terms of the factor F provided in Sysweld. Eventually, the parameters of Goldak's double ellipsoidal heat source model were determined for the welding simulation of overlapping beads on the plate and the simulated bead geometry, extent of the molten pool and the HAZ were compared with the macrographs of cross-sections of the experimental weldments.

The idea behind the present method is similar to the cell-based smoothed 4-noded quadrilateral finite elements (CS-FEM-Q4). In CSFEM, the smoothing domains are created based on elements, and each element can be further subdivided into 1 or several smoothing cells. It is observed that: 1) The CS-FEM using a single smoothing cell can produce higher stress accuracy, but insufficient rank and poor displacement accuracy; 2) The CS-FEM using several smoothing cells has proper rank, good displacement accuracy, but lower stress accuracy, especially for nearly incompressible and bending dominant problems. We therefore propose 1) an extension of strain smoothing to 8-noded hexahedral elements and 2) an alternative CS-FEM form, which associates the single smoothing cell issue with multi-smoothing cell one via a stabilization technique. Several numerical examples are provided to show the reliability and accuracy of the present formulation.}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BudarapuGracieBordasetal., author = {Budarapu, Pattabhi Ramaiah and Gracie, Robert and Bordas, St{\´e}phane Pierre Alain and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {An adaptive multiscale method for quasi-static crack growth}, series = {Computational Mechanics}, journal = {Computational Mechanics}, doi = {10.1007/s00466-013-0952-6}, pages = {1129 -- 1148}, abstract = {This paper proposes an adaptive atomistic- continuum numerical method for quasi-static crack growth.

The ghost atom positions are interpolated from the coarse scale solution and enforced as boundary conditions on the fine scale. The fine scale region is adaptively enlarged as the crack propagates and the region behind the crack tip is adaptively coarsened. An energy criterion is used to detect the crack tip location. The triangular lattice in the fine scale region corresponds to the lattice structure of the (111) plane of an FCC crystal. The Lennard-Jones potential is used to model the atom-atom interactions. The method is implemented in two dimensions.
