Summary: This study focuses on incorporating gradient-extended damage into a reduced integration-based solid-shell finite element formulation to eliminate locking phenomena. By optimizing the combination of assumed natural strain and enhanced assumed strain methods, the element stiffness contributions from hourglass stabilization can be determined analytically. Numerical examples demonstrate the methodology's ability to accurately predict various degradation processes.

Summary: This paper presents a stabilized linear finite-element formulation for three-dimensional (3D) elastoplastic static and dynamic coupled analyses of the soil skeleton and pore fluid. The proposed hybrid integration scheme improves the speed and accuracy of the simulation while ensuring stability. It provides an effective solution for large-scale 3D elastoplastic coupled solid-fluid simulations.

Summary: This study proposes a strong single-point integration rule to solve issues in the two-dimensional numerical manifold method (NMM). By separating the virtual work of an element in terms of moments to the center, a zero-order main term and higher-order stabilizing terms are obtained, avoiding volumetric locking, shearing locking, and hourglass deformation. The new rule reduces the number of integration points, improves accuracy, and ensures stability in NMM simulations.

Summary: We propose a lowest-order nonconforming virtual element method for planar linear elasticity, extending the idea in Falk (1991) to the virtual element method (VEM), with a general geometric assumption for the family of polygonal meshes. The method is shown to have uniform convergence and optimal rates of convergence in the nearly incompressible case. The establishment of the discrete Korn's inequality is a crucial step for achieving the coercivity of the discrete bilinear form. We also provide a locking-free scheme for both conforming and nonconforming VEMs in the lowest-order case. Numerical results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed numerical algorithms.

Summary: A two-stage optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the offset frequency setting strategy in the Taiji program, aiming to achieve continuous gravitational wave detection. By varying the offset frequency a limited number of times, the data continuity requirements can be satisfied, and the development difficulty and detection capability can be balanced.

Summary: Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a promising method for handling large deformations in solid mechanics problems, but it faces instabilities such as tensile instability and zero-energy modes. This study aims to stabilize Eulerian SPH to accurately deal with large deformations and handle contact problems and fluid-structure interaction effectively. The proposed stabilization method proves to be easy to implement and shows good agreement with analytical solutions and finite element results in various simulation cases.

Summary: This paper presents an efficient method for analyzing the quasi-static interaction between pipe piles and multilayered saturated soft soils. By simplifying the pipe pile into a 1D compression bar and discretizing it, interaction forces on the inner and outer interfaces are calculated. The correctness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the results with existing literature, and numerical examples are discussed to evaluate the effects of various factors on the interaction between pipe piles and soft soils.

Summary: This study established a time-dependent analysis method for the interaction between retaining piles and stratified saturated soils with transversely isotropic property due to pre-excavation dewatering. Numerical examples were used to verify the proposed method and study the influence of key parameters on the time-dependent behavior of retaining piles. It was found that pile deformation and its growth rate are closely related to the incorporate stiffness of retaining piles and the characterization of soils, while the deflection pattern of the retaining pile depends on the pumping depth.

Summary: A detailed study on the free-running stability properties of single solitons is presented, which are the most suitable states for developing robust ultrafast and high repetition rate comb sources. The carrier frequency and repetition rate can be controlled by modulating the laser pump current and the cavity length, providing a path for active locking and long-term stabilization.
