TIME-HARMONIC DYNAMIC GREEN'S FUNCTIONS FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL HEXAGONAL QUASICRYSTALS

Quasicrystals have additional phason degrees of freedom not found in conventional crystals. In this paper, we present an exact solution for time-harmonic dynamic Green＇s function of one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with the Laue classes 6/mh and 6/mhmm. Through the introduction of two new functions φ and ψ, the original problem is reduced to the determination of Green＇s functions for two independent Helmholtz equations. The explicit expressions of displacement and stress fields are presented and their asymptotic behaviors are discussed. The static Green＇s function can be obtained by letting the circular frequency approach zero.

Plane Elasticity and Dislocation of One-Dimensional Hexagonal Quasicrystals with Point Group 6

Plane elasticity theory of one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with point group 6 is proposed and established. As an application of this theory, one typical example of dislocation problem in the quasicrystals is investigated and its exact analytic solution is presented. The result obtained indicates that the stress components of (elastic) fields of a straight dislocation in the quasicrystals still first order singularity, which is the same as the (general crystals,) but are related with the Burgers vector of phason fields, which is different from the general (crystals.)

The effects of the volume fraction of the inclusion on the elastic properties of the composite materials are discussed.

Thermal-induced interfacial behavior of a thin one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal film

In this paper,we investigate the interfacial behavior of a thin one-dimensional(1D)hexagonal quasicrystal(QC)film bonded on an elastic substrate subjected to a mismatch strain due to thermal variation.The contact interface is assumed to be nonslipping,with both perfectly bonded and debonded boundary conditions.The Fourier transform technique is adopted to establish the integral equations in terms of interfacial shear stress,which are solved as a linear algebraic system by approximating the unknown phonon interfacial shear stress via the series expansion of the Chebyshev polynomials.The expressions are explicitly obtained for the phonon interfacial shear stress,internal normal stress,and stress intensity factors(SIFs).Finally,based on numerical calculations,we briefly discuss the effects of the material mismatch,the geometry of the QC film,and the debonded length and location on stresses and SIFs.

Three-dimensional interfacial fracture analysis of a one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal coating

In this paper, the three-dimensional(3D) interfacial fracture is analyzed in a one-dimensional(1D) hexagonal quasicrystal(QC) coating structure under mechanical loading. A planar interface crack with arbitrary shape is studied by a displacement discontinuity method. Fundamental solutions of interfacial concentrated displacement discontinuities are obtained by the Hankel transform technique, and the corresponding boundary integral-differential equations are constructed with the superposition principle.Green’s functions of constant interfacial displacement discontinuities within a rectangular element are derived, and a boundary element method is proposed for numerical simulation.The singularity of stresses near the crack front is investigated, and the stress intensity factors(SIFs) as well as energy release rates(ERRs) are determined. Finally, relevant influencing factors on the fracture behavior are discussed.

Based on the fundamental equations of piezoelasticity of quasicrystal material,we investigated the interaction between a screw dislocation and a wedge-shaped crack in the piezoelectricity of one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals.Explicit analytical solutions are obtained for stress and electric displacement intensity factors of the crack,as well as the force on dislocation.The derivation is based on the conformal mapping method and the perturbation technique.The influences of the wedge angle and dislocation location on the image force are also discussed.The results obtained in this paper can be fully reduced to some special cases already available or deriving new ones.

Exact analytic solutions for an elliptic hole with asymmetric collinear cracks in a one-dimensional hexagonal quasi-crystal

Using the complex variable function method and the technique of conformal mapping, the anti-plane shear problem of an elliptic hole with asymmetric colfinear cracks in a one-dimensional hexagonal quasi-crystal is solved, and the exact analytic solutions of the stress intensity factors （SIFs） for mode Ⅲ problem are obtained. Under the limiting conditions, the present results reduce to the Griffith crack and many new results obtained as well, such as the circular hole with asymmetric collinear cracks, the elliptic hole with a straight crack, the mode T crack, the cross crack and so on. As far as the phonon field is concerned, these results, which play an important role in many practical and theoretical applications, are shown to be in good agreement with the classical results.

Edge Metric Dimension of Honeycomb and Hexagonal Networks for IoT

Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)is considered to be one of the fundamental technologies employed in the Internet of things(IoT);hence,enabling diverse applications for carrying out real-time observations.Robot navigation in such networks was the main motivation for the introduction of the concept of landmarks.A robot can identify its own location by sending signals to obtain the distances between itself and the landmarks.Considering networks to be a type of graph,this concept was redefined as metric dimension of a graph which is the minimum number of nodes needed to identify all the nodes of the graph.This idea was extended to the concept of edge metric dimension of a graph G,which is the minimum number of nodes needed in a graph to uniquely identify each edge of the network.Regular plane networks can be easily constructed by repeating regular polygons.This design is of extreme importance as it yields high overall performance;hence,it can be used in various networking and IoT domains.The honeycomb and the hexagonal networks are two such popular mesh-derived parallel networks.In this paper,it is proved that the minimum landmarks required for the honeycomb network HC(n),and the hexagonal network HX(n)are 3 and 6 respectively.The bounds for the landmarks required for the hex-derived network HDN1(n)are also proposed.

Study of the Stacking Sequences of an Irregular Mixed-Layer Illite/Smectite (I/S) Clay Mineral—with a Discussion on the Existence of Minerals with Two-Dimentional Lattice and One-Dimentional Quasi-Lattice

There are two aspects in the study of irregular mixed-layer clay minerals: one is the kinds and ratios of their basic structural unit layers and the other is the junction probabilities of the unit layers. Irregular mixed-layer illite/smectite clay minerals (I/S) are widespread in nature. While studying the clay minerals from the Permian-Triassic (P/T) boundary bed, the authors found that I/S clay minerals are developed in all P/T boundary clay layers in areas from the northwest to southeast of China. Systematic mineralogical studies of the I/S clay minerals from Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Zhejiang were made by means of X-ray, infrared spectroscopic, electron microscopic and chemical analyses and a deepened study of the stacking sequences of their structural unit layers was conducted by the MacEwan one—dimentional direct Fourier transform. It was found that the stacking of the illite and smectite crystal layers along the c axis can be derived from Fibonacci sequences. Hence, the authors propose that such I/S clay minerals are possessed of two—dimentional crystal lattice and one—dimentional quasicrystal lattice.

Two kinds of contact problems in three-dimensional icosahedral quasicrystals

Two kinds of contact problems, i.e., the frictional contact problem and the adhesive contact problem, in three-dimensional （3D） icosahedral quasicrystals are dis- cussed by a complex variable function method. For the frictional contact problem, the contact stress exhibits power singularities at the edge of the contact zone. For the adhe- sive contact problem, the contact stress exhibits oscillatory singularities at the edge of the contact zone. The numerical examples show that for the two kinds of contact problems, the contact stress exhibits singularities, and reaches the maximum value at the edge of the contact zone. The phonon-phason coupling constant has a significant effect on the contact stress intensity, while has little impact on the contact stress distribution regu- lation. The results are consistent with those of the classical elastic materials when the phonon-phason coupling constant is 0. For the adhesive contact problem, the indentation force has positive correlation with the contact displacement, but the phonon-phason cou- pling constant impact is barely perceptible. The validity of the conclusions is verified.

General Solutions of Thermoelastic Plane Problems of Two-Dimensional Quasicrystals

The thermoelastic plane problems of two-dimensional decagonal quasicrystals(QCs)are systematically investigated.By introducing a displacement function,the problem of thermoelastic plane problems can be simplified to an eighth-order partial differential governing equation,and then general solutions are presented through an operator method.By virtue of the Almansi′s theorem,the general solutions are further established,and all expressions for the phonon,phason and thermal fields are described in terms of the potential functions.As an application of the general solution,for a steady point heat source in a semi-infinite quasicrystal plane,the closed form solutions are presented by four newly induced harmonic functions.

The present study develops the fracture theory for a two-dimensional octagonal quasicrystals. The exact analytic solution of a Mode Ⅱ Griffith crack in the material was obtained by using the Fourier transform and dual integral equations theory, then the displacement and stress fields, stress intensity factor and strain energy release rate were determined, the physical sense of the results relative to phason and the difference between mechanical behaviors of the crack problem in crystal and quasicrystal were figured out. These provide important information for studying the deformation and fracture of the new solid phase.

The interaction of nonlinear waves in two-dimensional dust crystals

This paper investigates the collision between two nonlinear waves with different propagation directions in two- dimensional dust crystals. Using the extended Poincare-Lighthill-Kuo perturbation method, two Korteweg-de Vries equations for nonlinear waves in both the ξ and η directions are obtained, respectively, and the analytical phase shifts and trajectories after the collision of two nonlinear waves are derived. Finally, the effects of parameters of the lattice constant a, the arbitrary constant u0η, the forces f（r）, and the colliding angle θ on the phase shifts of both colliding nonlinear waves are examined.

A MODE-Ⅱ GRIFFITH CRACK IN DECAGONAL QUASICRYSTALS

By using the method of stress functions, the problem of mode-Ⅱ Griffith crack in decagonal quasicrystals was solved. First, the crack problem of two-dimensional quasi-crystals was decomposed into a plane strain state problem superposed on anti-plane state problem and secondly, by introducing stress functions, the 18 basic elasticity equations on coupling phonon-phason field of decagonal quasicrystals were reduced to a single higher- order partial differential equations. The solution of this equation under mixed boundary conditions of mode-Ⅱ Griffith crack was obtained in terms of Fourier transform and dual integral equations methods. All components of stresses and displacements can be expressed by elemental functions and the stress intensity factor and the strain energy release rate were determined.

一维六方准晶非周期平面内中心开口裂纹的平面热弹性问题

考虑裂纹内部介质的热传导率,研究了一维六方准晶非周期平面内含中心开口裂纹的平面热弹性问题.利用Fourier积分变换技术,得到了热应力、裂纹尖端处的热应力强度因子和应变能密度因子的封闭解.数值结果讨论了裂纹内部介质的热传导率、外载荷及声子场-相位子场耦合系数对热应力强度因子和应变能密度因子的影响.结果表明,声子场-相位子场耦合系数对裂纹扩展影响较大.当声子场载荷较小或热流密度较大时,裂纹不易扩展,热流密度在裂纹尖端处会出现集中热效应.随着裂纹内部介质热传导率的增大,热流密度逐渐增加而热应力强度因子逐渐减小.该文所得结果为准晶热力学性质的实际应用提供了理论依据,进而可用于优化准晶元器件的设计和制备.
