Computational analysis and simulation of multi-physics phenomena taking place in coating systems is still a challenging task. Specifically, for ceramic coatings used as protective systems for base materials against elevated temperatures, known as thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems, construction of continuum level models which can express coupled nonlinear phenomena has attracted great attention. Thermal stresses, oxidation, creep and numerous other mechanisms and phenomena make it even harder to model and simulate the behavior of TBCs and bring a need for the development of premier models. In this effort, a new numerical model that allows simulation of oxidation and thermally grown oxide (TGO) in bond-coat is presented. Phase field theory is used with finite strain formulation and implemented using user element subroutine (UEL) in ABAQUS software for the finite element method. Results are compared with experimental data available for TGO in the literature. Initiation and development of damage were also modeled considering plasticity induced failure. Results were also compared with experimental data available for damage and stress development in isothermal conditions.

Prediction of Nonlinear Drift Demands for Buildings with Recurrent Neural Networks
Kocamaz, Korhan; Binici, Barış; Tuncay, Kağan (2021-09-08)
Application of deep learning algorithms to the problems of structural engineering is an emerging research field. Inthis study, a deep learning algorithm, namely recurrent neural network (RNN), is applied to tackle a problemrelated to the assessment of reinforced concrete buildings. Inter-storey drift ratio profile of a structure is a quiteimportant parameter while conducting assessment procedures. In general, procedures require a series of timeconsuming nonlinear dynamic analysis. In this study, an extensiv...
Computational modeling of electrocardiograms: A finite element approach toward cardiac excitation
Kotikanyadanam, Mohan; Göktepe, Serdar; Kuhl, Ellen (Wiley, 2010-05-01)
The objective of this work is the computational simulation of a patient-specific electrocardiogram (EKG) using a novel, robust, efficient, and modular finite element-based simulation tool for cardiac electrophysiology. We apply a two-variable approach in terms of a fast action potential and a slow recovery variable, whereby the latter phenomenologically summarizes the concentration of ionic currents. The underlying algorithm is based on a staggered solution scheme in which the action potential is introduced...
Predicting the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams using artificial neural networks
Mansour, MY; Dicleli, Murat; Lee, JY; Zhang, J (Elsevier BV, 2004-05-01)
The application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the ultimate shear strengths of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with transverse reinforcements is investigated in this paper. An ANN model is built, trained and tested using the available test data of 176 RC beams collected from the technical literature. The data used in the ANN model are arranged in a format of nine input parameters that cover the cylinder concrete compressive strength, yield strength of the longitudinal and transverse reinforc...
Mathematical problems of black-box computational technologies for continuum mechanics
Martynenko, Sergey; Zhou, Weixing; Gökalp, İskender; Toktaliev, Pavel; Tarasov, Georgy; Rumiantsev, Egor (2023-02-16)
This paper discusses possible ways of computational technology development for segregated/coupled solving the systems of nonlinear partial differential equations in black-box software. These systems describe physical and chemical processes in the continuum mechanics approximation (multiphysics). The following requirements for the black-box numerical methods are formulated: - robustness (the least number of problem-dependent components); - efficiency (close-to-optimal algorithmic complexity); - parallelism (...
