On the self-switching of hypersonic waves in cubic nonlinear elastic nanocomposites

A summary on transistors and some facts on nanocomposite materials and their classical models are provided. New models used here for computer simulation are described. Results from a theoretical study of the interaction of cubic nonlinear harmonic elastic plane waves in a Murnaghan material are presented. The interaction of two harmonic waves is analyzed using the method of slowly varying amplitudes. The mechanism of energy pumping from a strong pump wave to a weak signal wave is examined. The theoretical and numerical analyses conducted suggest that in theory, a nanocomposite material may be used to create a transistor that would work with hypersonic waves and have a speed in the nanosecond range Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 45, No. 1, pp. 90–117, January 2009.     

Self-switching of a transverse plane wave propagating through a two-component elastic composite

The paper discusses the results of theoretical and numerical analysis of the interaction of nonlinear elastic plane harmonic waves in a composite material whose nonlinear properties are described by modeling it with a two-phase mixture. The interaction of two transverse vertically polarized harmonic waves is studied using the method of slowly varying amplitudes. The truncated and evolutionary equations as well as the Manley-Rowe relations are derived. The mechanism of energy pumping from a strong pumping wave with frequency ω to a weak signal wave with frequency 3ω is analyzed. The switching mechanism for hypersonic waves in a nonlinear elastic composite is similar to the switching mechanism observed in transistors __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 7, pp. 35–46, July 2007.     

The effect of rotation and initial stress on the propagation of waves in a transversely isotropic elastic solid

In this paper the equations governing small amplitude motions in a rotating transversely isotropic initially stressed elastic solid are derived, both for compressible and incompressible linearly elastic materials. The equations are first applied to study the effects of initial stress and rotation on the speed of homogeneous plane waves propagating in a configuration with uniform initial stress. The general forms of the constitutive law, stresses and the elasticity tensor are derived within the finite deformation context and then summarized for the considered transversely isotropic material with initial stress in terms of invariants, following which they are specialized for linear elastic response and, for an incompressible material, to the case of plane strain, which involves considerable simplification. The equations for two-dimensional motions in the considered plane are then applied to the study of Rayleigh waves in a rotating half-space with the initial stress parallel to its boundary and the preferred direction of transverse isotropy either parallel to or normal to the boundary within the sagittal plane. The secular equation governing the wave speed is then derived for a general strain–energy function in the plane strain specialization, which involves only two material parameters. The results are illustrated graphically, first by showing how the wave speed depends on the material parameters and the rotation without specifying the constitutive law and, second, for a simple material model to highlight the effects of the rotation and initial stress on the surface wave speed.     

The Wave Energy in Nonlinearly Deformable Composites

The energy characteristics of waves propagating in composites are discussed. To describe the deformation of materials, two models are used — the classical model of an elastic body and the microstructural model of a two-phase elastic mixture. Both models take into account the quadratic nonlinearity of deformation based on the Murnaghan elastic potential. Analytical expressions for the velocity at which the energy of travelling plane longitudinal waves propagates are derived. It is shown that the nonlinearity of composite deformation decreases the velocities of energy propagation of both nondispersive and dispersive waves     

Plane waves in linear elastic materials with voids

The behavior of plane harmonic waves in a linear elastic material with voids is analyzed. There are two dilational waves in this theory, one is predominantly the dilational wave of classical linear elasticity and the other is predominantly a wave carrying a change in the void volume fraction. Both waves are found to attenuate in their direction of propagation, to be dispersive and dissipative. At large frequencies the predominantly elastic wave propagates with the classical elastic dilational wave speed, but at low frequencies it propagates at a speed less than the classical speed. It makes a smooth but relatively distinct transition between these wave speeds in a relatively narrow range of frequency, the same range of frequency in which the specific loss has a relatively sharp peak. Dispersion curves and graphs of specific loss are given for four particular, but hypothetical, materials, corresponding to four cases of the solution.

Superposition of finite-amplitude waves propagating in a principal plane of a deformed Mooney–Rivlin material

Here we consider finite-amplitude wave motions in Mooney–Rivlin elastic materials which are first subjected to a static homogeneous deformation (prestrain). We assume that the time-dependent displacement superimposed on the prestrain is along a principal axis of the prestrain and depends on two spatial variables in the principal plane orthogonal to this axis. Thus all waves considered here are linearly polarized along this axis. After retrieving known results for a single homogeneous plane wave propagating in a principal plane, a superposition of an arbitrary number of sinusoidal homogeneous plane waves is shown to be a solution of the equations of motion. Also, inhomogeneous plane wave solutions with complex wave vector in a principal plane and complex frequency are obtained. Moreover, appropriate superpositions of such inhomogeneous waves are also shown to be solutions. In each case, expressions are obtained for the energy density and energy flux associated with the wave motion.     

Self-switching of displacement waves in elastic nonlinearly deformed materialsSelf-commutation d'ondes de déplacement dans les milieux élastiques non-linéaires

The problem of self-switching plane waves in elastic nonlinearly deformed materials is formulated. Reduced and evolution equations, which describe the interaction of two waves the power pumping wave and the faint signal wave are obtained. For the case of wave numbers matching the pumping and signal waves, a procedure of finding the exact solution of evolution equations is described. The solution is expressed by elliptic Jacobi functions. The existence of the power wave self-switching is shown and commented. To cite this article: J. Rushchitsky, C. R.

Solitary waves in initially stressed thin elastic tubes

In the present work, we study the propagation of non-linear waves in an initially stressed thin elastic tube filled with an inviscid fluid. Considering the physiological conditions of the arteries, in the analysis, the tube is assumed to be subjected to a uniform inner pressure P₀ and an axial stretch ratio λ_z. It is assumed that due to blood flow, a finite dynamical displacement field is superimposed on this static field and, then, the non-linear governing equations of the elastic tube are obtained. Using the reductive perturbation technique, the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in the longwave approximation is investigated. It is shown that the governing equations reduce to the Korteweg-deVries equation which admits a solitary wave solution. It is observed that the present model equations give two solitary wave solutions. The results are also discussed for some elastic materials existing in the literature.
