“…As these equations were lengthy in nature and easily available in the literature, it was not discussed in this paper. The current work mainly focuses on machine learning and deep learning-based simulation techniques that are less covered in literature [15,20]. Towards that, effect of lubrication on the simulation of tribo-contacts is put in focus, which will help to understand the phenomenon of wear across length scale from the nano-to macro.…”

To simulate today’s complex tribo-contact scenarios, a methodological breakdown of a complex design problem into simpler sub-problems is essential to achieve acceptable simulation outcomes. This also helps to manage iterative, hierarchical systems within given computational power. In this paper, the authors reviewed recent trends of simulation practices in tribology to model tribo-contact scenario and life cycle assessment (LCA) with the help of simulation. With the advancement of modern computers and computing power, increasing effort has been given towards simulation, which not only saves time and resources but also provides meaningful results. Having said that, like every other technique, simulation has some inherent limitations which need to be considered during practice. Keeping this in mind, the pros and cons of both physical experiments and simulation approaches are reviewed together with their interdependency and how one approach can benefit the other. Various simulation techniques are outlined with a focus on machine learning which will dominate simulation approaches in the future. In addition, simulation of tribo-contacts across different length scales and lubrication conditions is discussed in detail. An extension of the simulation approach, together with experimental data, can lead towards LCA of components which will provide us with a better understanding of the efficient usage of limited resources and conservation of both energy and resources.

Purpose This paper aims to comprehensively explore techniques for reducing solution time in finite element analysis (FEA), addressing the critical need for expediting computations to facilitate agile design exploration within project timelines. Design/methodology/approach Drawing from a wide array of literature sources, this paper synthesizes and analyzes various methodologies used to enhance the efficiency of FEA. Techniques are scrutinized in terms of their applicability, effectiveness and potential limitations. Findings The review signifies application of linear assumptions across multiple facets of analysis and delves into matrix order reduction strategies, geometry simplification, symmetry exploitation, submodeling and mesh attribute control. It reveals how these techniques can effectively reduce computational burdens while maintaining acceptable levels of accuracy. Research limitations/implications While this review provides a comprehensive overview of existing efficiency enhancement techniques in FEA, it acknowledges inherent limitations of any synthesis-based study. Future research should focus on refining these methodologies. Practical implications The insights provided in this paper offer practical guidance for structural engineers and researchers seeking to optimize FEA workflows. By implementing these techniques, practitioners can expedite solution times and enhance their ability to explore design alternatives efficiently ultimately leading to cost savings and more robust structures. Originality/value This review contributes to the existing literature by offering a comprehensive synthesis of efficiency enhancement techniques in FEA. By highlighting the originality and value of each discussed methodology, this paper provides a roadmap for future research and practical implementation in the field of structural engineering.
