Damage Simulation Study of Composite-to-Metal Interference-Fit with Multiple Structural Parameters by Shan Jiang, Xiao Guo, Rui Zhao, Dongxu Zhang, Min Wan

“…A numerical study was conducted on the damage and failure of carbon fiber composite sleeves with multiple structural parameters during interference-fit assembly. ABAQUS/Explicit simulation of interference-fit was performed with the three-dimensional finite element method, and the VUMAT subroutine with three-dimensional Hashin damage was utilized to investigate the initiation and evolution of composite component damage. …”

Toward the Direct Simulation of the Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation in a Global Storm‐Resolving Model by Henning Franke, Marco A. Giorgetta

“…Abstract This study presents the first attempt to simulate a full cycle of the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) in a global storm‐resolving model (GSRM) that explicitly simulates deep convection and gravity waves instead of parameterizing them. …”

The Role of Situation Criticality in Affecting the Effect of Cognitive Load on Drivers’ Brake responses: A Driving Simulator Based Study by Qingwan Xue, Xuedong Yan, Yi Zhao, Yuting Zhang

“…Results demonstrated that the previously proposed mechanistically explicit simulation model was able to predict drivers’ brake response times on different levels of cognitive load and the increased effect of cognitive load on drivers’ brake response times in less critical situations was demonstrated in this paper as well.…”

Numerical study on the effect of V-notch on the penetration of grounding incidents in stiffened plates by Adietya Berlian Arswendo, Safaraz Muhammad Wildan, Zakki Ahmad Fauzan, Mursid Ocid, Tuswan Tuswan, Iqbal Muhammad

“…Study outputs in reaction force, resistance, and plate deformation due to penetration, stress concentration, and penetration depth of grounding impact on the stiffened bottom plate are obtained using dynamic explicit simulation in the form of penetration. The outcomes of the numerical simulation demonstrate that the existence of V-notch defects causes stress concentration, reducing the plate structure’s resistance and allowable penetration. …”

A Simplified Theory of External Occulters for Solar Coronagraphs by Craig. E. DeForest, Nicholas F. Erickson, Matthew N. Beasley, Steven N. Osterman, Travis J. Smith, Mary H. Hanson

“…Multivane occulters are challenging to design in part because they violate the conditions for both the Fraunhofer and Fresnel approximations to diffraction theory, and new designs have therefore generally required explicit simulation, empirical measurement, “guesstimation,” or all three. …”

Improving large-scale snow albedo modeling using a climatology of light-absorbing particle deposition by M. Gaillard, M. Gaillard, V. Vionnet, M. Lafaysse, M. Dumont, P. Ginoux

“…<p>Light-absorbing particles (LAPs) deposited at the snow surface significantly reduce its albedo and strongly affect the snowmelt dynamics. The explicit simulation of these effects with advanced snow radiative transfer models is generally associated with a large computational cost. …”

Substantial Reductions in Cloud Cover and Moisture Transport by Dynamic Plant Responses by Martin Sikma, Jordi Vilà‐Guerau de Arellano

“…Here we adopt an interdisciplinary approach that integrates interrelated scales from plant physiology to atmospheric turbulence. Our explicit simulations mimic the land‐atmosphere approach implemented in current numerical weather prediction, and global climate models enable us to conclude that neglecting local plant dynamic responses leads to misrepresentations in the cloud cover and midtropospheric moisture convection of up to 21% and 56%, respectively. …”
