含弱界面的微纳尺度双层梁的热弹性分析

众多微尺度实验已经证实了一些材料在微纳尺度下的力学行为具有尺寸效应.这种现象采用经典的弹性理论无法得到合理的解释,因而需要新的理论,修正偶应力理论就是其中一种.采用修正偶应力理论研究微纳尺度下两端自由铁木辛柯双层梁受热载荷后的弯曲响应,考虑两层之间存在弱界面.获得了梁的挠度、曲率以及界面剪力等表达式,并与经典弹性力学的结果进行了比较.通过分析计算可知,采用修正偶应力理论可预测微纳尺度下双层梁的尺寸效应,而当梁的特征尺寸远大于其材料的内禀尺度时,则与经典理论的结果一致.     

基于修正偶应力和高阶剪切变形理论的变截面微梁的自由振动

基于修正偶应力和高阶剪切理论建立了仅含有一个尺度参数的Reddy变截面微梁的自由振动模型,研究了变截面微梁自由振动问题的尺度效应和横向剪切变形对自振频率计算的影响。基于哈密顿原理推导了动力学方程与边界条件,并采用微分求积法求解了各种边界条件下的自振频率。算例结果表明,基于偶应力理论预测的变截面微梁的自振频率均大于经典梁理论的预测结果,即捕捉到了尺度效应。另外,梁的几何尺寸与尺度参数越接近,尺度效应就越明显,而梁的长细比越小,横向剪切变形对自振频率的影响就越明显。     

考虑非局部效应和记忆依赖微分的广义热弹问题

现有的广义热弹理论主要适用于求解时间尺度极短但空间尺度仍属宏观尺度的广义热弹问题的动态响应,而当所研究的弹性体的特征几何尺寸也属微尺度时,弹性体的力学响应将呈现出强烈的尺寸相关性,现有的广义热弹理论不再适用. 本文基于通过非局部效应和记记依赖微分修正的广义热弹性理论,研究了两端固定、受移动热源作用的有限长热弹杆的动态响应. 建立了问题的控制方程,给出了问题的初始条件及边界条件,运用拉普拉斯变换及其数值反变换,对方程进行了求解. 数值计算中,首先考察了时间延迟因子对模型所预测各物理量分布的影响;然后对比了模型中的时间延迟因子在两种不同类别核函数下(通过归一化条件修正和未修正形式)对各物理量分布的影响效应;最后考察了考虑新的可以描述尺寸效应的非局部因子对无量纲温度、位移及应力的影响,并用图形进行了示例. 结果表明, 时间延迟因子增大,各物理量的峰值变大,传播距离变小,且时间延迟因子在归一化条件修正过的核函数下影响更加显著;非局部参数几乎不影响无量纲温度的分布,轻微影响无量纲位移的分布,但对无量纲应力的峰值的影响显著.

Transverse shear and normal deformation effects on vibration behaviors of functionally graded micro-beams

A quasi-three dimensional model is proposed for the vibration analysis of functionally graded(FG) micro-beams with general boundary conditions based on the modified strain gradient theory. To consider the effects of transverse shear and normal deformations, a general displacement field is achieved by relaxing the assumption of the constant transverse displacement through the thickness. The conventional beam theories including the classical beam theory, the first-order beam theory, and the higherorder beam theory are regarded as the special cases of this model. The material properties changing gradually along the thickness direction are calculated by the Mori-Tanaka scheme. The energy-based formulation is derived by a variational method integrated with the penalty function method, where the Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials are used as the basis function of the displacement variables. The formulation is validated by some comparative examples, and then the parametric studies are conducted to investigate the effects of transverse shear and normal deformations on vibration behaviors.     

Energy-consistent shear coefficients for beams with circular cross sections and radially inhomogeneous materials

An exact computational method for the shear stiffness of beams with circular cross sections and arbitrarily radially inhomogeneous Young’s modulus is presented. We derive the displacement and stress field of a cantilever beam according to 3D theory of elasticity, which requires to solve just a 1D linear boundary value problem. The shear stiffness is obtained by setting the shear strain energy from the exact solution equal to that from technical beam theory. Results and closed analytical formulae are given for several functionally graded and layered cross sections.     

Size-dependent free vibration analysis of composite laminated Timoshenko beam based on new modified couple stress theory

A micro-scale free vibration analysis of composite laminated Timoshenko beam (CLTB) model is developed based on the new modified couple stress theory. In this theory, a new anisotropic constitutive relation is defined for modeling the CLTB. This theory uses rotation–displacement as dependent variable and contains only one material length scale parameter. Hamilton’s principle is employed to derive the governing equations of motion and boundary conditions. This new model can be reduced to composite laminated Bernoulli–Euler beam model of the couple stress theory. An example analysis of free vibration of the cross-ply simply supported CLTB model is adopted, and an explicit expression of analysis solution is given. Additionally, the numerical results show that the present beam models can capture the scale effects of the natural frequencies of the micro-structure.     

An efficient coupled layerwise theory for static analysis of piezoelectric sandwich beams

Summary An efficient one-dimensional model is developed for the statics of piezoelectric sandwich beams. Third-order zigzag approximation is used for axial displacement, and the potential is approximated as piecewise linear. The displacement field is expressed in terms of three primary displacement variables and the electric potential variables by satisfying the conditions of zero transverse shear stress at the top and bottom and its continuity at layer interfaces. The deflection field accounts for the piezoelectric transverse normal strain. The governing equations are derived using a variational principle. The present results agree very well with the exact solution for thin and thick highly inhomogeneous simply supported hybrid sandwich beams. The developed theory can accurately model open and closed circuit boundary conditions. The first author is grateful to DST, Government of India, for financial support for this work.     

基于剪切变形的矩形梁剪力滞求解方法

Timoshenko梁通过假设截面的剪切刚度和附加平均剪切转角变形的方式来近似修正初等梁中未考虑剪切变形能的问题,这与梁剪应力沿梁高变化的实际不符。本文基于材料力学剪应力计算式和相应的剪切变形理论,从剪切变形与梁的位移关系入手,导出矩形梁考虑剪切变形时的纵向位移沿梁高方向的函数关系式,证明该位移可分解为纯弯曲引起的位移和剪力引起的剪力滞翘曲位移之和。应用剪力滞广义坐标与广义力的概念,基于能量变分原理得到等截面梁剪力滞控制微分方程组及其通解形式。对均布荷载作用下矩形简支梁的算例分析表明,本文算法与弹性力学精确解对比,两者的应力和挠度剪力滞系数求解结果非常接近,本文算法有足够的精度,且比弹性力学简单。     

A non-classical Kirchhoff plate model incorporating microstructure,surface energy and foundation effects

A new non-classical Kirchhoff plate model is developed using a modified couple stress theory, a surface elasticity theory and a two-parameter elastic foundation model. A variational formulation based on Hamilton’s principle is employed, which leads to the simultaneous determination of the equations of motion and the complete boundary conditions and provides a unified treatment of the microstructure, surface energy and foundation effects. The new plate model contains a material length scale parameter to account for the microstructure effect, three surface elastic constants to describe the surface energy effect, and two foundation moduli to represent the foundation effect. The current non-classical plate model reduces to its classical elasticity-based counterpart when the microstructure, surface energy and foundation effects are all suppressed. In addition, the newly developed plate model includes the models considering the microstructure dependence or the surface energy effect or the foundation influence alone as special cases and recovers the Bernoulli–Euler beam model incorporating the microstructure, surface energy and foundation effects. To illustrate the new model, the static bending and free vibration problems of a simply supported rectangular plate are analytically solved by directly applying the general formulas derived. For the static bending problem, the numerical results reveal that the deflection of the simply supported plate with or without the elastic foundation predicted by the current model is smaller than that predicted by the classical model. Also, it is observed that the difference in the deflection predicted by the new and classical plate models is very large when the plate thickness is sufficiently small, but it is diminishing with the increase of the plate thickness. For the free vibration problem, it is found that the natural frequency predicted by the new plate model with or without the elastic foundation is higher than that predicted by the classical plate model, and the difference is significant for very thin plates. These predicted trends of the size effect at the micron scale agree with those observed experimentally. In addition, it is shown both analytically and numerically that the presence of the elastic foundation reduces the plate deflection and increases the plate natural frequency, as expected.     

Variational formulation of a simplified strain gradient elasticity theory and its application to a pressurized thick-walled cylinder problem

A detailed variational formulation is provided for a simplified strain gradient elasticity theory by using the principle of minimum total potential energy. This leads to the simultaneous determination of the equilibrium equations and the complete boundary conditions of the theory for the first time. To supplement the stress-based formulation, the coordinate-invariant displacement form of the simplified strain gradient elasticity theory is also derived anew. In view of the lack of a consistent and complete formulation, derivation details are included for the tutorial purpose. It is shown that both the stress and displacement forms of the simplified strain gradient elasticity theory obtained reduce to their counterparts in classical elasticity when the strain gradient effect (a measure of the underlying material microstructure) is not considered. As a direct application of the newly obtained displacement form of the theory, the problem of a pressurized thick-walled cylinder is analytically solved. The solution contains a material length scale parameter and can account for microstructural effects, which is qualitatively different from Lamé’s solution in classical elasticity. In the absence of the strain gradient effect, this strain gradient elasticity solution reduces to Lamé’s solution. The numerical results reveal that microstructural effects can be large and Lamé’s solution may not be accurate for materials exhibiting significant microstructure dependence.     

Nonlinear beam formulation incorporating surface energy and size effect: application in nano-bridges

A nonlinear beam formulation is presented based on the Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity and the modified couple stress theory. The developed model theoretically takes into account coupled effects of the energy of surface layer and microstructures sizedependency. The mid-plane stretching of a beam is incorporated using von-Karman nonlinear strains. Hamilton’s principle is used to determine the nonlinear governing equation of motion and the corresponding boundary conditions. As a case study, pull-in instability of an electromechanical nano-bridge structure is studied using the proposed formulation. The nonlinear governing equation is solved by the analytical reduced order method (ROM) as well as the numerical solution. Effects of various parameters including surface layer, size dependency, dispersion forces, and structural damping on the pullin parameters of the nano-bridges are discussed. Comparison of the results with the literature reveals capability of the present model in demonstrating the impact of nanoscale phenomena on the pull-in threshold of the nano-bridges.
