Incremental collapse of thick-walled circular cylinders under steady axial tension and torsion loads and cyclic transient heating

The accumulation of plastic strain over a number of cycles of heating and cooling of the outer surface of a loaded thick-walled circular cylinder is computed. Two types of loadings are considered, viz. pure axial torsion and a combination of torsion and tension. The cylinder material is taken to be isotropic and linear strain-hardening; its yield stress reduces with temperature and with the number of thermal cycles completed. This cyclic softening is shown to produce an incremental collapse or ratcheting behaviour in contrast to the alternating plasticity which occurs when the yield stress on first loading is maintained.     

Elasto-plastic analysis of an internally pressurized thick-walled cylinder using a strain gradient plasticity theory

An analytical solution for the stress, strain and displacement fields in an internally pressurized thick-walled cylinder of an elastic strain-hardening plastic material in the plane strain state is presented. A strain gradient plasticity theory is used to describe the constitutive behavior of the material undergoing plastic deformations, whereas the generalized Hooke’s law is invoked to represent the material response in the elastic region. The solution gives explicit expressions for the stress, strain and displacement components. The inner radius of the cylinder enters these expressions not only in non-dimensional forms but also with its own dimensional identity, unlike classical plasticity-based solutions. As a result, the current solution can capture the size (strengthening) effect at the micron scale. The classical plasticity-based solution of the same problem is shown to be a special case of the present solution. Numerical results for the maximum effective stress in the cylinder wall are also provided to illustrate applications of the newly derived solution.     

Dynamic analysis and performance evaluation of nonlinear inerter-based vibration isolators

This paper investigates a nonlinear inertance mechanism (NIM) for vibration mitigation and evaluates the performance of nonlinear vibration isolators employing such mechanism. The NIM comprises a pair of oblique inerters with one common hinged terminal and the other terminals fixed. The addition of the NIM to a linear spring-damper isolator and to nonlinear quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) isolators is considered. The harmonic balance method is used to derive the steady-state frequency response relationship and force transmissibility of the isolators subjected to harmonic force excitations. Different performance indices associated with the dynamic displacement response and force transmissibility are employed to evaluate the performance of the resulting isolators. It is found that the frequency response curve of the inerter-based nonlinear isolation system with the NIM and a linear stiffness bends towards the low-frequency range, similar to the characteristics of the Duffing oscillator with softening stiffness. It is shown that the addition of NIM to a QZS isolator enhances vibration isolation performance by providing a wider frequency band of low amplitude response and force transmissibility. These findings provide a better understanding of the functionality of the NIM and assist in better designs of nonlinear passive vibration mitigation systems with inerters.

Analysis of deformation localization based on proposed theory of ultrasonic wave velocity propagating in plastically deformed solids

The localization of plastic deformation is discussed as “stationary discontinuity” characterized by a vanishing velocity of an acceleration wave derived using the author’s proposed theory of ultrasonic wave velocities propagating in plastically deformed solids. To formulate the proposed theory, the elasto-plastic coupling effect was introduced to consider the elastic stiffness degradation due to the plastic deformation. The driving force of the deformation localization is caused by the yield vertex effect, which introduces a pronounced softening of the shear modulus, and geometrical softening due to double slip caused by lattice rotations. In the present paper, it is examined theoretically and experimentally that the diagonal terms of the introduced elasto-plastic coupling tensor represent a slight hardening followed by a pronounced softening of the elastic modulus induced by the point defect development caused by cross slides among dislocations at multiple slip stages similar to the yield vertex effects. The off-diagonal terms represent geometrical softening induced by lattice rotations such as texture evolution. Then, based on the coincidence of the onset strains between localization and acceleration waves of vanishing velocity, the diagrams of diffuse necking, localized necking and forming limit are analyzed by applying the proposed acoustic tensor, which is based on the generalized Christoffel tensor derived by the author, and solving cut off conditions of the quasi-longitudinal wave to determine the onset strains of deformation localization and localization modes. As a result, diagrams of diffuse necking, localized necking and forming limit were obtained. Moreover, the localization modes were determined and distinguished as the SH-mode, SV-mode, tearing mode and splitting mode.

Modeling of transverse self-oscillations of a circular cylinder in an incompressible fluid flow in a plane channel with circulation

Experimentally observed self-oscillations of a cylinder in a plane channel whose width is slightly greater than the cylinder diameter under the impact of the incoming fluid flow are modeled. Within the model of a nonseparated potential flow around the cylinder, the coefficients of added mass of the cylinder are calculated with the help of the generalized method of images. When the cylinder touches the channel wall, the circulation sign changes, and its value is determined by the boundary element method and the no-slip condition for the fluid at the contact point. The Joukowski force and the drag force proportional to the square of velocity are taken into account in the equations of motion of cylinder.     

Modal test and analysis of cantilever beam with tip mass

The phenomenon of dynamic stiffening is a research field of general interest for flexible multi-body systems. In fact, there are not only dynamic stiffening but also dynamic softening phenomenon in the flexible multi-body systems. In this paper, a non-linear dynamic model and its linearization characteristic equations of a cantilever beam with tip mass in the centrifugal field are established by adopting the general Hamilton Variational Principle. Then, the problems of the dynamic stiffening and the dynamic softening are studied by using numerical simulations. Meanwhile, the modal test is carried out on our centrifuge. The numerical results show that the system stiffness will be strengthened when the centrifugal tension force acts on the beam (i.e. the dynamic stiffening). However, the system stiffness will be weakened when the centrifugal compression force acts on the beam (i.e. the dynamic softening). Furthermore, the equilibrium position of the system will lose its stability when the inertial force reaches a critical value. Through theoretical analysis, we find that this phenomenon comes from the effect of dynamic softening resulting from the centrifugal compression force. Our test results verify the above conclusions and confirm that both dynamic stiffening and softening phenomena exist in flexible multi-body systems.

岩体—界面系统剪切不稳定性分析

基于界面的刚塑性应变软化假设，分析了岩体－界面系统在端部剪力和岩体中分布剪切载荷共同作用下的变形、应力和损伤演化。利用位能原理和稳定性的能量准则，得到了岩体界面系统的不稳定性条件。分析结果表明，损伤区达到边界之前，系统可能是稳定的或者是不稳定的。依赖于分布剪切载荷和界面摩擦力的比较，若均布剪切载荷大于界面摩擦力，则系统不稳定，否则系统稳定；当损伤区达到边界之后，系统的不稳定性决定于载荷及界面材料性质，界面软化刚度系数和界面强度对于不稳定性有明显影响。     

考虑混凝土塑性耗散的CDM-XFEM裂缝计算方法

混凝土结构在服役期间受外界载荷的影响容易产生裂缝, 导致结构刚度降低、构件承载性能衰退, 而采用准确的计算方法预测混凝土裂缝的发展是治理裂缝的基本前提, 也是保障结构安全的重要手段. 连续损伤力学方法(continuou damage method, CDM)能够描述微裂缝的扩展过程, 但不能表示离散的开裂面, 且存在网格诱导偏差及虚假应力传递的弊端, 扩展有限单元法(mechanics-extended finite element method, XFEM)能够描述宏观裂纹的扩展过程, 但不能反映微裂缝的动态扩展, 两者计算出的裂纹分布与实际差异均较大. 现有的CDM-XFEM方法已经能够模拟混凝土微裂缝及宏观裂缝发展的整个过程, 但忽略了宏观裂缝出现时混凝土产生的塑性应变, CDM与XFEM的能量转化过程欠缺平衡性. 因此, 本文重点考虑能量转化时的塑性耗散, 选取指数型函数为粘结裂缝的牵引-分离模式, 基于能量及应力等效的条件重新构建了CDM与XFEM之间的能量转化方程. 采用广义逆最小二乘法求解能量转化系数, 确定能量转化时的临界位移, 并给出了裂缝面水平集的更新算法及整体计算方法的程序流程. 以双切口混凝土受剪拉开裂试验为例, 采用多种裂缝计算方法与试验进行了对比. 结果表明, 采用考虑混凝土塑性耗散的CDM-XFEM方法算出的裂缝分布及拉力-张开位移曲线与试验结果差异最小, 说明采用考虑混凝土塑性耗散的CDM-XFEM计算方法能够更好地计算混凝土裂缝.      

Development of a family of explicit algorithms for structural dynamics with unconditional stability

A new family of explicit integration algorithms is developed based on discrete control theory for solving the dynamic equations of motion. The proposed algorithms are explicit for both displacement and velocity and require no factorisation of the damping matrix and the stiffness matrix. Therefore, for a system with nonlinear damping and stiffness, the proposed algorithms are more efficient than the common explicit algorithms that provide only explicit displacement. Accuracy and stability properties of the proposed algorithms are analysed theoretically and verified numerically. Certain subfamilies are found to be unconditionally stable for any system state (linear elastic, stiffness softening or stiffness hardening) that may occur in earthquake engineering of a practical structure. With dual explicit expression and excellent stability property, the proposed family of algorithms can potentially solve complicated nonlinear dynamic problems.     

Hydrodynamic stability of boundary layers with surface mass transfer

The linear stability of the flat plate boundary layer with surface blowing and suction is investigated by the application of numerical techniques. Complete neutral stability curves, critical Reynolds numbers and wave numbers, and other stability characteristics are determined for a wide range of surface mass transfer intensities. The critical Reynolds number, based on the displacement thickness, is found to vary from 59 to 32500 between the extreme limits of blowing and suction that are investigated. Comparisons are made between the present results and available linear stability information for boundary layers with surface mass transfer and with free-stream pressure gradients. The universal stability bound of Joseph is evaluated and compared with the corresponding numerically exact neutral stability curve.

Dramatically stiffer elastic composite materials due to a negative stiffness phase?

Composite materials of extremely high stiffness can be produced by employing one phase of negative stiffness. Negative stiffness entails a reversal of the usual codirectional relationship between force and displacement in deformed objects. Negative stiffness structures and materials are possible, but unstable by themselves. We argue here that composites made with a small volume fraction of negative stiffness inclusions can be stable and can have overall stiffness far higher than that of either constituent. This high composite stiffness is demonstrated via several exact solutions within linearized and also fully nonlinear elasticity, and via the overall modulus tensor estimate of a variational principle valid in this case. We provide an initial discussion of stability, and adduce experimental results which show extreme composite behavior in selected viscoelastic systems under sub-resonant sinusoidal load. Viscoelasticity is known to expand the space of stability in some cases. We have not yet proved that purely elastic composite materials of the types proposed and analyzed in this paper will be stable under static load. The concept of negative stiffness inclusions is buttressed by recent experimental studies illustrating related phenomena within the elasticity and viscoelasticity contexts.

The experimentally observed self-oscillations of a cylinder mounted with a narrow gap in a plane channel are simulated.
