Figure 6
The left panel labeled “(a)” and the right panel labeled “(b)” each show a cube with a smooth curved cutout along the top front edge, overlaid with contour bands representing “U, U 1”. A vertical color legend beside each cube is shown. In the left panel, it ranges from negative 1.276 e minus 03 to positive 0.000 e plus 00, with multiple contour levels, from purple (lower), blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, and red (higher), marked in scientific notation, where higher value bands are concentrated along the left face and near the upper curved region, forming closely spaced contour layers, while values decrease progressively across the cube toward the right face, where lower bands dominate. In the right panel, it ranges from negative 1.212 e minus 03 to positive 0.000 e plus 00, with multiple contour levels, from blue (lower), cyan, green, yellow, orange, and red (higher), marked in scientific notation, where higher value bands are again concentrated along the left face and near the curved top edge and decrease smoothly toward the right face with contour lines forming a continuous gradient. The curved cutout modifies the contour shapes near the top region, creating bent contour lines that follow the geometry. A coordinate axis indicator between the panels shows directions labeled “X”, “Y”, and “Z”.Contour plots of lateral displacement along the x-direction (in mm) in the SC porous structure of (a) 5% and (b) 15% porosities. The applied overall displacement in the y-direction is at 0.005 mm (within the elastic limit)
