Strain rebound and inhomogeneity in glass-to-metal seals: Radial vs axial strain evolution by Keqian Gong, Zheng Liu, Zifeng Song, Chao Zhou, Zhangjing Shi, Siyue Nie, Weisong Zhou, He Yan, Zhichun Fan, Yong Zhang

“…Moreover, the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between the glass and the metal housing significantly amplified radial strain, resulting in marked directional differences in strain behavior. Finite element analysis further corroborated these findings, confirming more pronounced variations in axial strain compared to the more uniform behavior observed in radial strain. …”

Mechanical properties and energy absorption of CoCrNi functionally graded TPMS cellular structures by Zhaoyi Wang, Junxian Zhou, Yunzhuo Lu, Dongming Li, Deyu Yue, Xu Zhang, Bingzhi Chen

“…Additionally, based on experimental validation, the Johnson-Cook constitutive model for SLM-ed CoCrNi was successfully developed and applied to finite element analysis (FEA) predictions. Notably, it is found that the multi-level absorbing feature of hybrid gradient (HG) provides new insights for the design of energy-absorbing structures, as its lower initial platform triggering threshold and multi-level hardening behavior align with the layer-by-layer collapse deformation of the structure. …”

Affine Discontinuous Galerkin Method Approximation of Second-Order Linear Elliptic Equations in Divergence Form with Right-Hand Side in L1 by Abdeluaab Lidouh, Rachid Messaoudi

“…We consider the standard affine discontinuous Galerkin method approximation of the second-order linear elliptic equation in divergence form with coefficients in L∞Ω and the right-hand side belongs to L1Ω; we extend the results where the case of linear finite elements approximation is considered. We prove that the unique solution of the discrete problem converges in W01,qΩ for every q with 1≤q<d/d-1 (d=2 or d=3) to the unique renormalized solution of the problem. …”

Stability of a weighted L2 projection in a weighted Sobolev norm by Averseng, Martin

“…We prove the stability of a weighted $L^2$ projection operator onto piecewise linear finite elements spaces in a weighted Sobolev norm. Namely, we consider the orthogonal projections $\pi _{N,\omega }$ from $L^2(\mathbb{D},1/\omega (x)\mathrm{d}x)$ to $\mathcal{X}_N$, where $\mathbb{D} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is the unit disk, $\omega (x) = \sqrt{1 - \vert x\vert ^2}$ and the spaces $(\mathcal{X}_N)_{N \in \mathbb{N}}$ consist of piecewise linear functions on a family of shape-regular and quasi-uniform triangulations of $\mathbb{D}$. …”
