DECAY RATE OF SAINT-VENANT END EFFECTS FOR PLANE DEFORMATIONS OF PIEZOELECTRIC-PIEZOMAGNETIC SANDWICH STRUCTURES

This paper is concerned with the decay of Saint-Venant end effects for plane deformations of piezoelectric （PE）-piezomagnetic （PM） sandwich structures, where a PM layer is located between two PE layers with the same material properties or reversely. The end of the sandwich structure is subjected to a set of self-equilibrated magneto-electro-elastic loads. The upper and lower surfaces of the sandwich structure axe mechanically free, electrically open or shorted as well as magnetically open or shorted. Firstly the constitutive equations of PE mate- rials and PM materials for plane strain are given and normalized. Secondly, the simplified state space approach is employed to arrange the constitutive equations into differential equations in a matrix form. Finally, by using the transfer matrix method, the characteristic equations for eigen- values or decay rates axe derived. Based on the obtained characteristic equations, the decay rates for the PE-PM-PE and PM-PE-PM sandwich structures are calculated. The influences of the electromagnetic boundary conditions, material properties of PE layers and volume fraction on the decay rates are discussed in detail.

PROPAGATION BEHAVIORS OF SHEAR HORIZONTAL WAVES IN PIEZOELECTRIC-PIEZOMAGNETIC PERIODICALLY LAYERED STRUCTURES

This paper investigates shear horizontal （SH） waves propagating in a periodically layered structure that consists of piezoelectric （PE） layers perfectly bonded with piezomagnetic （PM） layers alternately. The explicit dispersion relations are derived for the two cases when the propagation directions of SH waves are normal to the interface and parallel to the interface, respectively. The asymptotic expressions for dispersion relations are also given when the wave number is extremely small. Numerical results for stop band effect and phase velocity are presented for a periodic system of alternating BaTiO3 and Terfenol-D layers. The influence of volume fraction on stop band effect and dispersion behaviors is discussed and revealed.     

PMN-PT夹层弹性半空间结构中SH波的传播Propagation of SH waves in sandwich structures consisting of PMN-PT single crystal layer and elastic half-spaces

分析了弹性上下半空间和PMN‐PT单晶层组成的夹层结构中SH波的传播性质,PMN‐PT单晶沿[011]c方向极化,宏观上呈mm2对称,且晶体沿角度θ方向切割。基于正交各向异性压电材料和各向同性弹性材料的基本方程,得到了夹层结构中SH波传播时行列式形式的频散方程。通过对数值算例进行分析可以看出,PMN‐PT单晶的切割角度和弹性材料属性对结构中的相速度有很大影响,因此波的某些传播性能可以通过材料的设计以及晶体切割的方向来实现,这些结论为声表面波器件的开发和应用提供了理论依据。     

WAVELET METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE DEFECT STATES OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL PHONONIC CRYSTALS

Based on the variational theory, a wavelet-based numerical method is developed to calculate the defect states of acoustic waves in two-dimensional phononic crystals with point and line defects. The supercell technique is applied. By expanding the displacement field and the material constants （mass density and elastic stiffness） in periodic wavelets, the explicit formulations of an eigenvalue problem for the plane harmonic bulk waves in such a phononic structure are derived. The point and line defect states in solid-liquid and solid-solid systems are calculated. Comparisons of the present results with those measured experimentally or those from the plane wave expansion method show that the present method can yield accurate results with faster convergence and less computing time.

Reflection and transmission of plane waves at an imperfectly bonded interface between piezoelectric and piezomagnetic media

The paper analyzes the reflection and transmission of plane waves at an imperfect interface between piezoelectric (PE) and piezomagnetic (PM) media. The materials are assumed to be transversely isotropic. The linear spring model is used to describe the imperfection of bonding behavior at the interface. According to this model, the properties of the interface can be characterized by the normal and tangential interfacial stiffnesses. Numerial examples are performed for BaTiO₃/CoFe₂O₄ material combination. Four cases, a perfect, slip, normal weak bonding and unbonding interfaces for the coupled quasi-pressure (QP) wave incidence from BaTiO₃ medium are compared in detail. Numerical results of the reflection and transmission coefficients (RTCs) varying with incident angle for different interfacial stiffnesses are presented. Results show that the transmitted QP/reflected QSV waves are the strongest in the perfect/unbonded cases, respectively. The scattered waves in the slip and normal weak bonding cases are between those of the perfect and unbonded cases generally. Critial angles have noticeable effect on the RTCs and energy coefficients for the coupled scattered waves of the perfect and slip cases but have a little/no effect on those of the normal weak bonding/unbonded cases. It is found that the sum of the energy carried by the transmitted/reflected QP and QSV waves is less than unit for the imperfect bonding between BaTiO₃/CoFe₂O₄ solids. These results may provide some useful reference datum for the imperfection measurment at the PE and PM interface.     

Modeling method for a crack problem of functionally graded materials with arbitrary properties—piecewise-exponential model

A new model, piecewise-exponential model (PE model), is developed to investigate the crack problem of the functionally graded materials (FGMs) with arbitrary properties. In the PE model, the functionally graded material is divided into some nonhomogeneous layers along the gradient direction of the properties, with each layer’s properties varying exponentially. By this way, the real material properties can be approached by a series of exponential functions. Since the real material properties are used on both surfaces of each nonhomogeneous layer, the nature of continuously varying properties of FGMs can be approached accurately. The influences of the local nonhomogeneity on the crack-tip fields can be fully considered. By using the new model, the fracture problem of a functionally graded strip with arbitrary properties and a crack vertical to the free surfaces is studied. The integral transform method, the theory of residues and the theory of singular integral equation are applied. Some representative samples with different kinds of nonhomogeneous properties are analyzed and the corresponding stress intensity factors (SIFs) are presented. It is shown that the PE mode is effective for investigating the crack problems of the FGMs with arbitrary properties.

Quantitative imaging of acoustically coupled flows over symmetrically located side branches

Fully turbulent inflow past symmetrically located side branches mounted in a duct can give rise to pronounced flow oscillations due to coupling between separated shear layers and standing acoustic waves. Experimental investigation of acoustically coupled shear layers was conducted using digital particle image velocimetry in conjunction with unsteady pressure measurements. Global instantaneous and time-averaged flow images, as well as turbulence statistics, were evaluated to provide insight into the flow physics during flow tone generation. The emphasis was on the acoustic response of the resonator during the first and second hydrodynamic modes of the shear layer oscillation. Onset of the locked-on resonant states was characterized in terms of the acoustic pressure amplitude and the quality factor of the corresponding spectral peak. In addition, visco-thermal acoustic damping and patterns of generated acoustic power were calculated using a semi-empirical approach.     

Analysis of micro-structural effects on phononic waves in layered elastic media with periodic nonsmooth coordinates

Propagation of elastic phononic waves in layered composite materials is analyzed by introducing nonsmooth periodic coordinates associated with structural specifics of the materials. Spatial scales of the original (smooth) coordinates are estimated by the wave lengths. In terms of the new coordinates, the homogenization procedure occurs naturally from the continuity conditions imposed on elastic displacements and forces at layer interfaces. As a result, higher-order asymptotic approximations describing spatiotemporal ‘macro’- and ‘micro’-effects of wave propagation are obtained in closed form. Such solutions provide visualizations for the wave shapes illustrating their structure induced local details. In particular, beat-wise mode shapes and effective anisotropy of acoustic wave propagation are revealed. The subharmonic beating in wave modes occur when wave lengths orthogonal to layers is about to ‘resonate’ with layer’ thickness. If the wave speed has a non-zero projection along the layers, then phase shifts between the beats are observed in different cross sections perpendicular to the layers.

Effects of electrorheological fluid core and functionally graded layers on the vibration behavior of a rotating composite beam

Vibration properties of a rotating Functionally Graded Electro-Rheological (FGER) beam are investigated. In the composition of three layered beam, an electrorheological fluid layer is embedded between two functionally graded material layers. Classical beam theory is applied in the analysis of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) layers. Using Hamilton??s principle and finite element method (FEM), equations of motion of the FGER beam are derived. The effects of various parameters such as FGM volume fraction index, rotating speed, thickness of the viscoelastic core and electric field on the resonant frequencies and modal loss factors are studied. The results quantify the significant effect of the FGM distribution and the ER core on the vibration suppression of the rotating composite beam.     

Propagation of bending waves in phononic crystal thin plates with a point defect

In this paper, the band structures of bending waves in a phononic crystal thin plate with a point defect are studied using an improved plane wave expansion method combined with the supercell technique. In particular, a phononic crystal thin plate composed of an array of circular crystalline Al₂O₃ cylinders embedded in an epoxy matrix with a square lattice is considered in detail. Full band gaps are shown. When a point defect is introduced, the bending waves are highly localized at or near the defect, resulting in defect modes. The frequency and number of the defect modes are strongly dependent on the filling fraction of the system and the size of the point defect. The defect bands appear from the upper edge of the gap and move to the middle of the gap as the defect size is reduced. For a given defect, the frequencies of the defect bands increase as the filling fraction increases.     

Effects of electric/magnetic impact on the transient fracture of interface crack in piezoelectric-piezomagnetic sandwich structure: anti-plane case

Due to the incompatibility of the interlaminar deformations,the interface debonding or cracking usually happens in a layered magnetoelectric(ME)structure under an applied load.In this paper,the transient responses of the anti-plane interface cracks in piezoelectric(PE)-piezomagnetic(PM)sandwich structures are studied by the standard methods of the integral transform and singular integral equation.Discussion on the numerical examples indicates that the PE-PM-PE structure under electric impact is more likely to fracture than the PM-PE-PM structure under a magnetic impact.The dynamic stress intensity factors(DSIFs)are more sensitive to the variation of the active layer thickness.The effects of the material constants on the DSIFs are dependent on the roles played by PE and PM media during the deformation process.     

Surface adapted partial waves for the description of elastic vibrations in bilayered plates

An approach is proposed in which the form of the partial waves in the decomposition of the displacement field is chosen in such a way that boundary conditions on the outer surfaces of a layered structure are matched exactly. So found basis functions are further used to solve for the remaining boundary conditions. Explicit analytic expressions for the vibration spectrum and normalized amplitudes of a free plate in the long wavelength regime are derived and their behavior in the full space of material parameters is discussed. Thus, it is found that properties of the fundamental flexural mode change in a strongly non-monotonous way. In particular, by increasing the thickness of added layer one may observe the same propagation velocity for up to three different values of layer thicknesses ratio. Existence of an important criterion based on the relative signs taken by the amplitudes on the outer surfaces in this regime is revealed. It allows to establish a clear correspondence between symmetric and antisymmetric solutions for a single layer and those for a bilayered plate. It is suggested that the criterion is not limited to case of two layers. Branches of the spectrum are classified accordingly and their evolution from long to short wavelength is discussed. Analysis of a specific example which includes volume and surface modes (Rayleigh and Stoneley) is presented. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme and possible extensions are suggested.     

A wavelet transform analysis applied to unsteady aspects of supersonic jet screech resonance

 The multiple acoustic modes and shear layer instability waves which characterize a supersonic underexpanded rectangular jet are investigated experimentally via the Morlet wavelet transform. Because of its quasi-locality in both physical-space and Fourier space, the wavelet transformation allows one to track the time evolution of the various scales in both acoustic and velocity fluctuation signals. Using this technique it is demonstrated that multiple acoustic modes produced by the jet coexist and are not due to a mode switching mechanism. Unsteady screech tone modulation is observed and a mechanism for its occurrence is proposed. Received: 9 February 1996 / Accepted: 17 June 1996     

Torsional postbuckling characteristics of functionally graded graphene enhanced laminated truncated conical shell with temperature dependent material properties

Buckling and postbuckling characteristics of laminated graphene-enhanced composite (GEC) truncated conical shells exposed to torsion under temperature conditions using finite element method (FEM) simulation are presented in this study. In the thickness direction, the GEC layers of the conical shell are ordered in a piece-wise arrangement of functionally graded (FG) distribution, with each layer containing a variable volume fraction for graphene reinforcement. To calculate the properties of temperature-dependent material of GEC layers, the extended Halpin-Tsai micromechanical framework is used. The FEM model is verified via comparing the current results obtained with the theoretical estimates for homogeneous, laminated cylindrical, and conical shells, the FEM model is validated. The computational results show that a piece-wise FG graphene volume fraction distribution can improve the torque of critical buckling and torsional postbuckling strength. Also, the geometric parameters have a critical impact on the stability of the conical shell. However, a temperature rise can reduce the crucial torsional buckling torque as well as the GEC laminated truncated conical shell's postbuckling strength.     

Propagation of Love waves in a functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) layered composite system

In this theoretical study, we investigate the propagation of Love waves in a layered structure consisting of two different homogenous piezoelectric materials, an upper layer and a substrate. A functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) buffer layer is in between the upper layer and the substrate. We employ the power series technique to solve the governing differential equations with variable coefficients. The influence of the gradient coefficients of FGPM and the layer thicknesses on the dispersion relations, the electro-mechanical coupling factor, and the stress distributions of Love waves in this structure are investigated. We demonstrate that the low gradient coefficient raises the significant variation of the phase velocity within a certain range of ratios of upper layer thickness to equivalent thickness. The electro-mechanical coupling factor can be increased when the equivalent thickness equals one or two wavelengths, and the discontinuity of the interlaminar stress can be eliminated by the FGPM buffer layer. The theoretical results set guidelines not only for the design of high-performance surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices using the FGPM buffer layer, but also for the measurement of material properties in such FGPM layered structures using Love waves.
