📝 New paper: “Cut-PFEM: a Particle Finite Element Method using unfitted boundary meshes” Dr. Alessandro Franci and Dr. Ruben Zorrilla Martínez from CIMNE's Structural Mechanics and Kratos Multiphysics research groups, respectively, have introduced a novel methodology for Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM): Cut-PFEM. This pioneering approach addresses inherent limitations of PFEM regarding boundary conditions treatment and mass conservation by employing an unfitted mesh boundary strategy. Unlike conventional PFEM approaches, Cut-PFEM utilizes an implicit representation of boundaries through a level set function, enabling accurate boundary condition enforcement via Nitsche’s method. 🔑 Key Advantages of Cut-PFEM: ✔️ Enhanced accuracy and robustness in solving complex fluid problems. ✔️ Elimination of artificial mass addition and violation of mass conservation. ✔️ Seamless integration of slip boundary conditions without additional treatments. ✔️ Applicability to both two-dimensional and three-dimensional scenarios. The work showcases the method's efficacy through numerical examples, including scenarios like free-surface flows, violent impacts, and non-Newtonian fluids. Moreover, it presents a sensibility analysis of Nitsche’s penalty parameter, affirming the method's reliability across diverse conditions. 🛣️ Looking Ahead: By incorporating a level set calculation algorithm, Cut-PFEM can take on challenges like large-scale natural hazards simulations with non-analytical and complex boundaries. Additionally, there's potential for extending the technique to resolve fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomena involving thin structures and free surfaces. 📰 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dE5VZuRA More about the research groups: ℹ️ Kratos Multiphysics: https://www.cimne.com/3218 ℹ️ Structural Mechanics: https://lnkd.in/daNiY2rU #CIMNE #Research #ComputationalMechanics #CutPFEM #Innovation #Engineering #FluidDynamics #BoundaryConditions #MassConservation

🧮 Do not miss a preprint by Ondřej Faltus, Martin Horak, Martin Doškář, and Ondřej Rokoš, in which they proposed a unified third medium finite element formulation for the treatment of (self-)contact and pneumatic actuation, and successfully applied it to modeling of patterning mechanical metamaterials. 🙏 This contribution would not have been possible without the significant advances made earlier by Peter Wriggers, Jörg Schröder, and Alexander Schwarz (third medium contact formulation), Gore Lukas Bluhm, Andreas Henrik Frederiksen, ole sigmund, and Konstantinos Poulios (gradient-based stabilization and topology optimization applications), and Brandon Caasenbrood, Pogromsky Sasha, and Henk Nijmeijer (topology optimization of pneumatically-actuated soft robots).  We are honored to stand on their collective shoulders 😀! 👉 If interested in the full story, please check out the arXiv preprint at https://lnkd.in/dDP5r_Qs Faculty of Civil Engineering CTU in Prague | Eindhoven University of Technology | #contactmechanics #pneumaticactuation #finiteelements #metamaterials #topologyoptimization #softrobotics #GACR_EXPRO #ROBOPROXResearch
