The two-dimensional incompressible flow of a linear viscoelastic fluid we considered in this research has rapidly oscillating initial conditions which contain both the large scale and small scale information. In order to grasp this double-scale phenomenon of the complex flow, a multiscale analysis method is developed based on the mathematical homogenization theory. For the incompressible flow of a linear viscoelastic Maxwell fluid, a well-posed multiscale system, including averaged equations and cell problems, is derived by employing the appropriate multiple scale asymptotic expansions to approximate the velocity, pressure and stress fields. And then, this multiscale system is solved numerically using the pseudospectral algorithm based on a time-splitting semi-implicit influence matrix method. The comparisons between the multiscale solutions and the direct numerical simulations demonstrate that the multiscale model not only captures large scale features accurately, but also reflects kinetic interactions between the large and small scale of the incompressible flow of a linear viscoelastic fluid.

A new multiscale finite element method for elliptic problems with highly oscillating coefficients are introduced. A hybridization yields a locally flux-conserving numerical scheme for multiscale problems. Our approach naturally induces a homogenized equation which facilitates error analysis. Complete convergence analysis is given and numerical examples are presented to validate our analysis.

A multiscale method is presented for analysis of thin slab structures in which the microstructures can not be reduced to two-dimensional plane stress models and thus three dimensional treatment of microstructures is necessary. This method is based on the classical asymptotic expansion multiscale approach but with consideration of the special geometric characteristics of the slab structures. This is achieved via a special form of multiscale asymptotic expansion of displacement field. The expanded three dimensional displacement field only exhibits in-plane periodicity and the thickness dimension is in the global scale. Consequently by employing the multiscale asymptotic expansion approach the global macroscopic structural problem and the local microscopic unit cell problem are rationally set up. It is noted that the unit cell is subjected to the in-plane periodic boundary conditions as well as the traction free conditions on the out of plane surfaces of the unit cell. The variational formulation and finite element implementation of the unit cell problem are discussed in details. Thereafter the in-plane material response is systematically characterized via homogenization analysis of the proposed special unit cell problem for different microstructures and the reasoning of the present method is justified. Moreover the present multiscale analysis procedure is illustrated through a plane stress beam example.

Water gas shift reaction(WGSR)이 일어나는 파이럿 규모 고온반응기에서의 거동 및 성능을 예측하기 위하여 수학적 모델을 수립하고 모사를 수행하였다. 반응기의 형상, 유체 및 열 이동에 대해 상세한 모델링이 가능한 전산유체역학 기법과 공정시스템 공학에서 사용되는 공정모사 기법을 함께 사용한 multiscale 모델링 및 모사를 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 일반 공정모사와 비교하였다. Multiscale 모사를 통해 CO의 전환율은 최고 0.85, 발열반응으로 인해 충전층의 온도는 약 720 K까지 오름을 알 수 있었다. 또한 동적모사를 통해 시간에 따른 반응기내에서의 온도분포, 전환율 분포 등의 주요한 변수 및 성능들의 시간에 따른 변화를 예측할 수 있었다. Multiscale 모사 기법은 파이럿 규모의 반응기뿐 아니라 상업규모의 공정에 대해 실제 상황을 상세히 반영하여 정확한 예측이 가능하므로, 상업공정 설계에 주요한 기술로 사용될 수 있다.

A previously published multiscale model for early-age cement-based materials [Pichler, et al.2007. "A multiscale micromechanics model for the autogenous-shrinkage deformation of early-age cement-based materials." Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 74, 34-58] is extended towards upscaling of viscoelastic properties. The obtained model links macroscopic behavior, i.e., creep compliance of concrete samples, to the composition of concrete at finer scales and the (supposedly) intrinsic material properties of distinct phases at these scales. Whereas finer-scale composition (and its history) is accessible through recently developed hydration models for the main clinker phases in ordinary Portland cement (OPC), viscous properties of the creep active constituent at finer scales, i.e., calcium-silicate-hydrates (CSH) are identified from macroscopic creep tests using the proposed multiscale model. The proposed multiscale model is assessed by different concrete creep tests reported in the open literature. Moreover, the model prediction is compared to a commonly used macroscopic creep model, the so-called B3 model.

기존의 멀티스케일 유한요소법(Multiscale finite element, FE² )은 거시 스케일의 모든 적분점에서 대표 체적요소(representative volume element, RVE)의 미시 경계치 문제를 반복적으로 계산하기 때문에 긴 해석 시간과 많은 데이터 저장 공간을 필요로 한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서 평균장 균질화 데이터 기반 멀티스케일 해석 기법을 개발하였다. 데이터 기반 전산역학(data-driven computational mechanics, DDCM) 해석은 변형률-응력 데이터 셋을 직접적으로 사용하는 모델-프리(model-free)접근 방식이다. 멀티스케일 해석을 수행하기 위해, 평균장 균질화(mean-field homogenization)를 활용하여 복합재의 미세구조에 대한 변형률-응력 데이터베이스(database)를 효율적으로 구축하고, 이를 기반으로 데이터 기반 전산역학 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 개발한 멀티 스케일 해석 프레임워크(framework)를 예제에 적용하여, 초탄성(hyperelasticity) 복합재의 미세 구조를 고려한 데이터 기반 전산역학 시뮬레이션 결과를 확인하였다. 따라서, 데이터 기반 전산역학 접근 방식을 활용한 멀티스케일 해석기법은 다양한 재료 및 구조에 적용될 수 있으며, 멀티스케일 해석 연구 및 응용 가능성을 열어줄 것으로 기대된다.

The multi scale wavelet-Galerkin method implemented in an adaptive manner has an advantage of obtaining accurate solutions with a substantially reduced number of interpolation points. The method is becoming popular, but its numerical efficiency still needs improvement. The objectives of this investigation are to present a new numerical scheme to improve the performance of the multi scale adaptive wavelet-Galerkin method and to give detailed implementation procedure. Specifically, the subdomain technique suitable for multiscale methods is developed and implemented. When the standard wavelet-Galerkin method is implemented without domain subdivision, the interaction between very long scale wavelets and very short scale wavelets leads to a poorly-sparse system matrix, which considerably worsens numerical efficiency for large-sized problems. The performance of the developed strategy is checked in terms of numerical costs such as the CPU time and memory size. Since the detailed implementation procedure including preprocessing and stiffness matrix construction is given, researchers having experiences in standard finite element implementation may be able to extend the multi scale method further or utilize some features of the multiscale method in their own applications.

A multiscale modeling scheme that addresses the influence of the nanoparticle size in nanocomposites consisting of nano-sized spherical particles embedded in a polymer matrix is presented. A micromechanics-based constitutive model for nanoparticle-reinforced polymer composites is derived by incorporating the Eshelby tensor considering the interface effects (Duan et al. 2005a) into the ensemble-volume average method (Ju and Chen 1994). A numerical investigation is carried out to validate the proposed micromechanics-based constitutive model, and a parametric study on the interface moduli is conducted to investigate the effect of interface moduli on the overall behavior of the composites. In addition, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to determine the mechanical properties of the nanoparticles and polymer. Finally, the overall elastic moduli of the nanoparticle-reinforced polymer composites are estimated using the proposed multiscale approach combining the ensemble-volume average method and the MD simulation. The predictive capability of the proposed multiscale approach has been demonstrated through the multiscale numerical simulations.

A method fully utilizing multiscale line filter responses is presented to estimate the point spread function(PSF) of a CT scanner and diameters of small tubular structures based on the PSF. The estimation problem is formulated as a least square fitting of a sequence of multiscale responses obtained at each medical axis point to the precomputed multiscale response curve for the ideal line model. The method was validated through phantom experiments and demonstrated through phantom experiments and demonstrated to accurately measure small-diameter structures which are significantly overestimated by conventional methods based on the full width half maximum(FWHM) and zero-crossing edge detection.
