Abstract

Electromagnetic forming and perforations (EMFP) are complex and innovative high strain rate processes that involve electromagnetic-mechanical interactions for simultaneous metal forming and perforations. Instead of spending costly resources on repetitive experimental work, a properly designed numerical model can be effectively used for detailed analysis and characterization of the complex process. A coupled finite element (FE) model is considered for analyzing the multi-physics of the EMFP because of its robustness and improved accuracy. In this work, a detailed understanding of the process has been achieved by numerically simulating forming and perforations of Al6061-T6 tube for 12 holes and 36 holes with two different punches, i.e., pointed and concave punches using Ls-Dyna software. In order to shed light on EMFP physics, a comparison between experimental data and the formulated numerical simulation has been carried out to compare the average hole diameter and the number of perforated holes, for different types of punches and a range of discharge energies. The simulated results show acceptable agreement with experimental studies, with maximum deviations being less than or equal to 6%, which clearly illustrates the efficacy and capability of the developed coupled Multi-physics FE model.

Fully spectral scheme for the linear BGK equation on the whole space

In this article, we design a fully spectral method in both space and velocity for a linear inhomogeneous kinetic equation with mass, momentum and energy conservation. We focus on the linear BGK equation with a confinement potential $Φ$, even if the method could be applied to different collision operators. It is based upon the projection on Hermite polynomials in velocity and orthonormal polynomials with respect to the weight $e^{-$Φ$}$ in space. The potential $Φ$ is assumed to be a polynomial. It is, to the author's knowledge, the first scheme which preserves hypocoercive behavior in addition to the conservation laws. These different properties are illustrated numerically on both quadratic and double well potential.

Inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation on bounded domains and Riemannian manifolds

This paper establishes inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation spaces defined on bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and compact Riemannian manifolds. While inverse inequalities are well-studied for polynomial spaces, their extension to kernel-based trial spaces poses significant challenges. For bounded Lipschitz domains, we extend prior Bernstein inequalities, which only apply to a limited range of Sobolev orders, to the full range of lower and upper orders, and derive Nikolskii inequalities that bound $L_\infty$ norms by $L_2$ norms. For compact Riemannian manifolds, we focus on restricted kernels, which are defined as the restriction of positive definite kernels from the ambient Euclidean space to the manifold, and prove their counterparts.

Error Estimates for Hyperbolic Scaling Limits of Linear Kinetic Models on Networks

This paper studies linear discrete kinetic models on networks and their asymptotic behavior in the small Knudsen number limit. For coupling conditions at an n-edge junction under a symmetric formulation, we introduce a change of variables that reformulates the system into n independent initial-boundary value problems. The asymptotic expansions are then constructed and rigorously justified by deriving an error estimate based on the energy method.
