  • Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) as advanced heterogeneous composite materials have a higher performance than a conventional composite or bimaterial composite under some severe environments. As a heterogeneous material, FGM is commonly used in spacecraft, defense, nuclear and automotive industries due to its excellent properties. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the stress distribution and crack behaviors by the multiscale simulation. FGM contains two or more than two materials that the composition is structured continuously. Two types of FGM model are suggested, which are created by arbitrary prediction of the volume fraction and the exponential function. Aluminum as the metal matrix constituent and silicon carbide as the ceramic particle constituent are structured gradually by two types and the three point bending test also estimated. Moreover, two kinds of crack location were introduced in order to get the influences of material property distribution on the stress intensity factor. From the results we found that the stress intensity factors are increased in the case from softer to stiffer material, while vice versa.

  • Magnesium alloy shows strong anisotropy and asymmetric behavior in tension and compression curve, especially at room temperature. These characteristics limit the application of finite element method (FEM) which is based on conventional continuum mechanics. To accurately predict the material behavior of magnesium alloy at microstructural level, a methodology of fully coupled multiscale simulation is presented and a crystal plasticity model as a constitutive equation in the simulation of metal forming process is introduced in this study. The existing constitutive equation for rigid plastic FEM is modified to accommodate deviatoric stress component and its derivatives with respect to strain rate components. Viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) polycrystal model was selected as a constitutive model because it was regarded as the most robust model compared to Taylor model or Sachs model. Stiffness matrix and load vector were derived based on the new approach and implemented into $DEFORM^{TM}-3D$ via a user subroutine handling stiffness matrix at an elemental level. The application to extrusion and rolling process of pure magnesium is presented in this study to assess the validity of the proposed multiscale process.

  • In the present work, LES with new variational multiscale method is conducted on the fully developed channel flow with Reynolds number, 180 based on the friction velocity and the channel half width. Incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are integrated using finite element method with the basis function of NURBS. To solve space-time equations, Newton's method with two stage predictor multicorrector algorithm is employed. The code is parallelized using MPI. The computational domain is a rectangular box of size $2{\pi}{\times}2{\times}4/3{\pi}$ in the streamwise, wall normal and spanwise direction. Mean velocity profiles and velocity fluctuations are compared with the data of DNS. The results agree well with those of DNS and other traditional LES.

  • In this study, an influence of local variation of nanoparticulate volume fraction on the homogenized elastic properties is investigated. It is well known that interface effect is dependent on the radius and volume fraction of reinforced nanofillers. However, there is no study on the multiscale modeling and analysis of polymer nanocomposites including polydispersed nanoparticles with consideration of interphase zone, which is dependent on the volume fraction of corresponding nanoparticles. As results of numerical examples, it is confirmed that an influence of local variation of nanoparticulate volume fraction should be considered for non-dilute system such as cluster of nanoparticles. Therefore representative volume element analysis is conducted by considering local variation of nanoparticle volume fraction in order to analyze the practical size of cell including hundreds of nanoparticles. It is expected that this study could be extended to the multiparticulate nanocomposite systems including polydispersed nanoparticles.

  • An image enhancement method using both homomorphic transformation and multiscale decomposition is proposed. The original image is first transformed to homomorphic domain by taking the logarithm, is then separated to multiscales. These multiscales are combined with weighting. The combined signal is exponentially transformed back into intensity domain. In homomorphic domain, the magnitude control of low frequency component make change the dynamic range, and the magnitude control of the other frequency components contribute to enhancement of the contrast. The "${\AA}$ trous" algorithm, which has a simple and efficient scheme, is used for multiscale decomposition. The performance of proposed method is verified by simulation.

  • In this paper, we device stress-diffusion full coupling multiscale analysis method for battery electrode simulation. In proposed method, the diffusive and mechanical properties of electrode material depend on Li concentration are estimated using density function theory(DFT) simulation. Then, stress-diffusion full coupling continuum formulation based on finite element method(FEM) is constructed with the diffusive and mechanical properties calculated from DFT simulation. Finally, silicon nanowire anode charge and discharge simulations are performed using the proposed method. Through numerical examples, the stress-diffusion full coupling method shows more resonable results than previous one way continuum analysis.
