A MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF MATERIALS WITH ELASTIC RANGE AND THE DEFINITION OF BACK STRESS TENSOR

In this paper, the theory of materi als with elastic range by Lucchesi and Podio_Guidugli(1988) has been generalized . It has also shown that there are some difficulties on the definition of back s tress as the “center” of the yield surface in the Cauchy space. The back stres s tensor is Lagrangian,and must be defined in the Lagrangian stress space.

ENERGY PRINCIPLES IN THEORY OF ELASTIC MATERIALS WITH VOIDS

According to the basic idea of dual-complementarity, in a simple and unified way proposed by the author, various energy principles in theory of elastic materials with voids can be established systematically, In this paper, an important integral relation is given, which can be considered essentially as the generalized pr- inciple of virtual work. Based on this relation, it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work and the reciprocal theorem of work in theory of elastic materials with voids, but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals for the eight-field, six-field, four-field and two-field generalized variational principles, and the principle of minimum potential and complementary energies. Furthermore, with this appro ach, the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly.

Bending and wave propagation analysis of axially functionally graded beams based on a reformulated strain gradient elasticity theory

A new size-dependent axially functionally graded(AFG) micro-beam model is established with the application of a reformulated strain gradient elasticity theory(RSGET). The new micro-beam model incorporates the strain gradient, velocity gradient,and couple stress effects, and accounts for the material variation along the axial direction of the two-component functionally graded beam. The governing equations and complete boundary conditions of the AFG beam are derived based on Hamilton's principle. The correctness of the current model is verified by comparing the static behavior results of the current model and the finite element model(FEM) at the micro-scale. The influence of material inhomogeneity and size effect on the static and dynamic responses of the AFG beam is studied. The numerical results show that the static and vibration responses predicted by the newly developed model are different from those based on the classical model at the micro-scale. The new model can be applied not only in the optimization of micro acoustic wave devices but also in the design of AFG micro-sensors and micro-actuators.

Expansion of spherical cavity of strain-softening materials with different elastic moduli of tension and compression

An expansion theory of spherical cavities in strain-softening materials with different moduli of tension and com-pression was presented. For geomaterials,two controlling parameters were introduced to take into account the different moduli and strain-softening properties. By means of elastic theory with different moduli and stress-softening models,general solutions cal-culating Tresca and Mohr-Coulomb materials' stress and displacement fields of expansion of spherical cavity were derived. The effects caused by different elastic moduli in tensile and compression and strain-softening rates on stress and displacement fields and development of plastic zone of expansion of cavity were analyzed. The results show that the ultimate expansion pressure,stress and displacement fields and development of plastic zone vary with the different elastic moduli and strain-softening prop-erties. If classical elastic theory is adopted and strain-softening properties are neglected,rather large errors may be the result.

A NEW APPROXIMATE SOLUTION TO THE MULTIPLE SCATTERING THEORY FOR THE ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS

The multiple scattering theory has been a powerful tool in determining the effective properties of heterogeneous materials. In this paper , a simple relationship between the scattering theory and the micromechanics theory based on the Eshelby principle has been suggested. According to the relationship, a new and simple approximate solution to the exact multiple scattering theory has been given in terms of Eshelby' s S-tensor. The solution easily shows those known results for isotropic composites with spherical inclusions and for tracnsversely isotropic composites, and first gives non-setf-consistent (average t-matrix) and symmetric self-consistent (effective medium or coherent potential) approximate results for isotropic composites with spheroidal inclusions.

Free vibration of size-dependent magneto-electro-elastic nanoplates based on the nonlocal theory

In this paper, the free vibration of magneto- electro-elastic （MEE） nanoplates is investigated based on the nonlocal theory and Kirchhoff plate theory. The MEE nanoplate is assumed as all edges simply supported rectan gular plate subjected to the biaxial force, external electric potential, external magnetic potential, and temperature rise. By using the Hamilton＇s principle, the governing equations and boundary conditions are derived and then solved analytically to obtain the natural frequencies of MEE nanoplates. A parametric study is presented to examine the effect of the nonlocal parameter, thermo-magneto-electro-mechanical loadings and aspect ratio on the vibration characteristics of MEE nanoplates. It is found that the natural frequency is quite sensitive to the mechanical loading, electric loading and magnetic loading, while it is insensitive to the thermal loading.

NONLOCAL THEORY STUDY ON FRACTURE TOUGHNESS OF CERAMIC MATERIALS

The theoretical calculation formulas for the plane strain fracture toughness of mode Ⅰand Ⅱcracks of ceramic materials are deduced in this paper by using the nonlocal elasticity theory and maximum tensile stress criterion The deduced formulas, which are independent of crack geometry,bear a relation to material parameters.It is shown through experiment that the theoretical value of fracture toughness is the lower limit of testing value. The theoretical calculation formulas for fracture toughness relate the macro-mechanical performance of materials with the micro-structural parameters and,therefore, are beneficial to fully understanding the physical mechanism of material rupture.

Application of ultrasonic in strength measurement of similar materials of limestone

Similar materials such as cement, gypsum and sand are options for simulating limestone characteristic.A series of reasonable proportions are chosen to do similar experiments of Karst roof based on the proportions testing of small samples indoors. Applying on ultrasonic, the velocities of transverse wave and vertical wave of similar samples have been inspected with the sound wave instrument. Dynamic modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio of the samples have been educed. According to the testing data, the relationship between the transverse wave and vertical wave velocity, compressive strength and anti-bend strength are analyzed. It has been proved that the vertical wave velocity is better for reflecting compressive strength and anti-bend strength of similar materials than the transverse wave velocity. The vertical wave velocity increases with the strengthand dynamic modulus of elasticity.

The Continuum Stored Energy for Constitutive Modeling Finite Deformations of Polymeric Materials

With symmetries measured by the Lie group and curvatures revealed by differential geometry, the continuum stored energy function possesses a translational deformation component, a rotational deformation component, and an ellipsoidal volumetric deformation component. The function, originally developed for elastomeric polymers, has been extended to model brittle and ductile polymers. The function fits uniaxial tension testing data for brittle, ductile, and elastomeric polymers, and elucidates deformation mechanisms. A clear distinction in damage modes between brittle and ductile deformations has been captured. The von Mises equivalent stress has been evaluated by the function and the newly discovered break-even stretch. Common practices of constitutive modeling, relevant features of existing models and testing methods, and a new perspective on the finite elasticity-plasticity theory have also been offered.

Winkler弹性介质中多孔功能梯度材料截锥壳的弯曲

弹性介质中板壳结构的力学特性研究,大都假设结构体在变形过程中始终与介质紧密接触。为研究可脱离的Winkler弹性介质中含孔隙功能梯度材料截锥壳在环向荷载作用下的弯曲问题,以陶瓷材料质量分数、体积指数和孔隙率为控制参数,根据混合律计算含均匀孔隙功能梯度材料的物性参数。基于Donnell经典薄壳理论和Hamilton原理,建立Winkler弹性介质和环向荷载共同作用下截锥壳的平衡方程和变形协调方程。考虑锥壳两端简支边界条件,采用Galerkin积分法求解得到截锥壳弯曲挠度的解析解。研究在弹性介质与壳体接触和脱离两种情况下,孔隙率、功能梯度材料组成和截锥壳尺寸等因素对壳体挠度值的影响。结果表明,截锥壳挠度值随着孔隙率、体积指数、壳体长径比、径厚比和半锥角的增大而增大,随着陶瓷质量分数的增大而减小。截锥壳与Winkler弹性介质接触时的挠度值比脱离时小,这是因弹性介质对壳体有一定的反作用力。在截锥壳母线方向上,其中部的挠度值较大,而由中部到两端的挠度值逐渐减小;在截锥壳环向方向上,其挠度值呈现周期变化。分析多孔FGM截锥壳在弹性介质和环向荷载作用下的弯曲问题,为FGM截锥壳在工程领域中的应用提供了理论基础。

The present study enlightens the two-dimensional analysis of the thermo-mechanical response for a mi-cropolar double porous thermoelastic material with voids(MDPTMWV)by virtue of Eringen’s theory of nonlocal elasticity.Moore-Gibson-Thompson(MGT)heat equation is introduced to the considered model in the context of memory-dependent derivative and variable conductivity.By employing the normal mode technique,the non-dimensional coupled governing equations of motion are solved to determine the an-alytical expressions of the displacements,temperature,void volume fractions,microrotation vector,force stress tensors,and equilibrated stress vectors.Several two-dimensional graphs are presented to demon-strate the influence of various parameters,such as kernel functions,thermal conductivity,and nonlocality.Furthermore,different generalized thermoelasticity theories with variable conductivity are compared to visualize the variations in the distributions associated with the prior mentioned variables.Some particu-lar cases are also discussed in the presence and absence of different parameters.

Size-dependent shear buckling response of FGM skew nanoplates modeled via different homogenization schemes

The size effects on the shear buckling behaviors of skew nanoplates made of functionally graded materials(FGMs)are presented.The material properties are supposed to be changed uniformly from the ceramic phase to the metal one along the plate thickness.To estimate the associated effective material properties,various homogenization schemes including the Reuss model,the Voigt model,the Mori-Tanaka model,and the Hashin-Shtrikman bound model are used.The nonlocal elasticity theory together with the oblique coordinate system is applied to the higher-order shear deformation plate theory to develop a size-dependent plate model for the shear buckling analysis of FGM skew nanoplates.The Ritz method using Gram-Schmidt shape functions is used to solve the size-dependent problem.It is found that the significance of the nonlocality in the reduction of the shear buckling load of an FGM skew nanoplate increases for a higher value of the material property gradient index.Also,by increasing the skew angle,the critical shear buckling load of an FGM skew nanoplate enhances.This pattern becomes a bit less significant for a higher value of the material property gradient index.Furthermore,among various homogenization models,the Voigt and Reuss models in order estimate the overestimated and underestimated shear buckling loads,and the difference between them reduces by increasing the aspect ratio of the skew nanoplate.

Stresses of orthotropic laminated beams subjected to high temperature and mechanical load

Thermo-elastic analysis of simply-supported orthotropic laminated beams subjected to high temperature and mechanical load is presented on the basis of the exact two-dimensional thermoelasticity theory.The beam is composed of several orthotropic layers,each with temperaturedependent material properties.The governing equation for each layer is analytically solved using the state space method.The displacement and stress solutions of the beam are obtained using the transfer-matrix method.A numerical example is included to study the effects of temperature on the mechanical responses of a sandwich beam.The results reveal two main effects of temperature:(i)inducing deformations and stresses by itself;(ii)affecting the deformations and stresses induced by the mechanical load.

A First Principles Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of g-TlN

We investigate the structure and mechanical properties of proposed graphene-like hexagonal thallium nitride monolayer (g-TlN) using first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory. Compared to graphene-like hexagonal boron nitride monolayer (g-BN), g-TlN is much softer, with 12% in-plane stiffness, 25%, 22%, and 20% ultimate strengths in armchair, zigzag, and biaxial strains respectively. However, g-TlN has a larger Poisson’s ratio, 0.69, about 3.1 times that of g-BN. It was found that the g-TlN also sustains much smaller strains before rupture. We obtained the second, third, fourth, and fifth order elastic constants for a rigorous continuum description of the elastic response of g-TlN. The second order elastic constants, including in-plane stiffness, are predicted to monotonically increase with pressure while the Poisson’s ratio monotonically decreases with increasing pressure.

Forced Vibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Anisotropic Nanoplates Resting on Winkler/Pasternak-Foundation

This study investigates the forced vibration of functionally graded hexagonal nano-size plates for the first time.A quasi-three-dimensional(3D)plate theory including stretching effect is used to model the anisotropic plate as a continuum one where small-scale effects are considered based on nonlocal strain gradient theory.Also,the plate is assumed on a Pasternak foundation in which normal and transverse shear loads are taken into account.The governing equations of motion are obtained via the Hamiltonian principles which are solved using analytical based methods by means of Navier’s approximation.The influences of the exponential factor,nonlocal parameter,strain gradient parameter,Pasternak foundation coefficients,length-to-thickness,and length-to-width ratios on the dynamic response of the nanoplates are examined.In addition,the accuracy of an isotropic approximate instead of the anisotropic model is studied.The dynamic behavior of the system shows that mechanical mathematics-based models may get better results considering the anisotropic model because the dynamic response can cause prominent differences(up to 17%)between isotropic approximation and anisotropic model.
