An analysis of interface boundary layers based on the couple stress theory

Investigated in this paper are the effects of strain gradients on the stress distribution near an interface. The quasi axis-symmetry interface problem is solved by using the couple stress theory and the perturbation method. The results show that a boundary layer exists near an interface or a fixed boundary, where the shear stress perpendicular to the interface is significantly different from that obtained from the classical elasticity theory.

Strain gradient near interface of coaxial cylinders in torsion

Classical elastoplastic theory predicts that the rotation angle near an interface between two mismatched materials is discontinuous under shear. The strain gradient effects, however, can be significant within a narrow region near the interface. This can be shown by application of the strain gradient plasticity. The matching expansion method was used to obtain asymptotic results. Comparison is then made with those found numerically for the interface torsion problem of a two-layered cylindrical tube. The strain gradient plasticity theory solution differs from that of the classical elastoplastic theory solution, depending on the properties aside from the interface behavior and the loading mode. A failure criterion is also proposed that accounts for the strain gradients.     

结构中微裂纹与超声波的混频非线性作用数值仿真研究

针对结构中微裂纹检测难题,本文对结构中微裂纹与超声波的混频非线性作用进行了数值仿真研究。基于经典非线性理论,得到了两列超声纵波相互作用产生混频效应的理论条件。通过有限元仿真,研究了两列纵波与微裂纹相互作用产生混频的条件,并分析了界面处静应力、摩擦系数和裂纹方向对混频效应的影响。研究发现,超声波与微裂纹相互作用产生混频非线性效应的发生条件仍符合经典非线性理论下的混频产生条件。裂纹界面处施加的静应力对差频横波幅值有明显影响;当施加静应力与无裂纹模型得到的最大应力值接近时,混频非线性效应最强;裂纹界面的摩擦系数对超声波的混频非线性效应影响较小;透射差频横波传播方向与经典非线性理论预测的理论差频分量方向基本一致,且几乎不受裂纹方向变化的影响,而反射差频横波的传播方向随裂纹方向的改变而有所不同。本文研究工作为微裂纹检出及方向识别做了有益探索。     

An enhanced single-layer variational formulation for the effect of transverse shear on laminated orthotropic plates

A novel mixed formulation is derived by means of Reissner's variational approach-based on Castigliano's principle of least work in conjunction with a Lagrange multiplier method for the calculus of variations. The governing equations present an alternative theory for modeling the important three-dimensional structural aspects of plates in a two-dimensional form. By integrating the classical Cauchy's equilibrium equations with respect to the thickness co-ordinate, and enforcing continuity of shear and normal stresses at each ply interface, condenses the effect of the thickness. A reduced system of partial differential equations of sixth-order in one variable, is also proposed, which contains differential correction factors that formally modify the classical constitutive equations for composite laminates. The theory degenerates to classical composite plate analysis for thin configurations. Significant deviations from classical plate theory are observed when the thickness becomes comparable with the in-plane dimensions. A variety of case studies are presented and solutions are compared with other models available in the literature and with finite element analysis.     

Nonlocal stress field of interface dislocations

Summary The basic theory of nonlocal elasticity is stated with emphasis on the difference between the nonlocal theory and classical continuum mechanics. The concept of Nonlocal Interface Residual (NIR) is introduced in nonlocal theory. With the concept of NIR and the nonlocal constitutive equation, we calculate nonlocal stresses due to an edge dislocation on the interface of bi-materials. The nonlocal stress distribution along an interface is quite different from the classical one. Instead of the singularity in the dislocation core, nonlocal stress gives a finite value in the core. A maximum of the stress is also found near the dislocation core. Received 27 May 1997; accepted for publication 1 July 1997     

A mathematical basis for strain-gradient plasticity theory. Part II: Tensorial plastic multiplier

A phenomenological, flow theory version of gradient plasticity for isotropic and anisotropic solids is constructed along the lines of Gudmundson [Gudmundson, P., 2004. A unified treatment of strain-gradient plasticity. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 52, 1379-1406]. Both energetic and dissipative stresses are considered in order to develop a kinematic hardening theory, which in the absence of gradient terms reduces to conventional J₂ flow theory with kinematic hardening. The dissipative stress measures, work-conjugate to plastic strain and its gradient, satisfy a yield condition with associated plastic flow. The theory includes interfacial terms: elastic energy is stored and plastic work is dissipated at internal interfaces, and a yield surface is postulated for the work-conjugate stress quantities at the interface. Uniqueness and extremum principles are constructed for the solution of boundary value problems, for both the rate-dependent and the rate-independent cases. In the absence of strain gradient and interface effects, the minimum principles reduce to the classical extremum principles for a kinematically hardening elasto-plastic solid. A rigid-hardening version of the theory is also stated and the resulting theory gives rise to an extension to the classical limit load theorems. This has particular appeal as previous trial fields for limit load analysis can be used to generate immediately size-dependent bounds on limit loads.     

Sh surface Waves in a Homogeneous Gradient-Elastic Half-Space with Surface Energy

The existence of SH surface waves in a half-space homogeneous material (i.e. anti-plane shear wave motions which decay exponentially with the distance from the free surface) is shown to be possible within the framework of the generalized linear continuum theory of gradient elasticity with surface energy. As is well-known such waves cannot be predicted by the classical theory of linear elasticity for a homogeneous half-space, although there is experimental evidence supporting their existence. Indeed, this is a drawback of the classical theory which is only circumvented by modelling the half-space as a layered structure (Love waves) or as having non-homogeneous material properties. On the contrary, the present study reveals that SH surface waves may exist in a homogeneous half-space if the problem is analyzed by a continuum theory with appropriate microstructure. This theory, which was recently introduced by Vardoulakis and co-workers, assumes a strain-energy density expression containing, besides the classical terms, volume strain-gradient and surface-energy gradient terms. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Equivalent inclusions in micromechanics with interface energy effect

In order to apply classical micromechanics in predicting the effective properties of nanocomposites incorporating interface energy, a concept of equivalent inclusion(EI) is usually adopted. The properties of EI are obtained by embedding a single inclusion with the interface into an infinite matrix. However, whether such an EI is universal for different micromechanics-based methods is rarely discussed in the literature. In this paper, the interface energy theory is used to study the applicability of the above mentioned EI. It is found that some elastic properties of the EI are related only to the properties of the inclusion and the interface, whereas others are also related to the properties of the matrix. The former properties of the EI can be applied to both the classical Mori-Tanaka method(MTM) and the generalized self-consistent method(GSCM). However, the latter can be applied only to the MTM. Two kinds of new EIs are proposed for the GSCM and used to estimate the effective mechanical properties of nanocomposites.     

A screw dislocation near a circular nano-inhomogeneity in gradient elasticity

A screw dislocation outside an infinite cylindrical nano-inhomogeneity of circular cross section is considered within the isotropic theory of gradient elasticity. Fields of total displacements, elastic and plastic distortions, elastic strains and stresses are derived and analyzed in detail. In contrast with the case of classical elasticity, the gradient solutions are shown to possess no singularities at the dislocation line. Moreover, all stress components are continuous and smooth at the interface unlike the classical solution. As a result, the image force exerted on the dislocation due to the differences in elastic and gradient constants of the matrix and inhomogeneity, remains finite when the dislocation approaches the interface. The gradient solution demonstrates a non-classical size-effect in such a way that the stress level inside the inhomogeneity decreases with its size. The gradient and classical solutions coincide when the distances from the dislocation line and the interface exceed several atomic spacings.     

On the instability of microjets

The instability of an axisymmetric viscous liquid jet in a gas or in a vacuum is examined using the interface formation theory. This model allows for variable surface tension at constant temperature, generalising the classical continuum formulation by using irreversible thermodynamics. Steady-state solutions are determined and found to be unstable to a travelling wave that propagates down the liquid jet, causing the jet to break-up into drops. The linear instability results are compared to those of the classical formulation. These are especially found to differ when the jets are on the micron scale. This will give rise to significantly revised predictions in some parameter ranges for the break-up length and droplet sizes produced by microjets. Comparisons with molecular dynamics simulations are also presented, with encouraging results. Finally, the dependence of the results on the initial conditions is discussed. PACS 68.03.Cd     

Interface balance laws,phase growth and nucleation conditions for multiphase solids with inhomogeneous surface stress

In this paper, the thermodynamic configurational force associated with a moving interface is used to derive the conditions for phase growth and nucleation in bodies with multiple diffusing species and arbitrary surface stress at the phase interface. First, the mass, momentum and energy balances are derived on the evolving phase interface. The thermodynamic conditions that result from free energy inequality at the interface are derived leading to the analytical form of the configurational force for bodies subject to mechanical loads, heat and multiple diffusing species. The derived second law condition naturally extends the Eshelby energy–momentum tensor to include species diffusion terms. The above second law restriction is then used to derive the condition for the growth of new phases in a body undergoing finite deformation subject to inhomogeneous as well as anisotropic interface stress, and multiple diffusing species. The growth conditions are derived in both current and reference configurations. The statistical temperature-dependent growth velocity is next derived using the Boltzmann distribution. The derived finite deformation form of growth requirement is simplified to obtain the small deformation diffusive void growth condition. Next, a general, finite deformation, arbitrary surface stress form of phase nucleation condition is derived by considering uncertainty in growth of a small nucleus. The probability of nucleation is shown to naturally depend on a theoretical estimate of critical volumetric energy density, which is directly related to the surface stress. The classical nucleation theory is shown to result from a simplified special case of the general criterion. As an application of the developed theory, the classical Blech electromigration experiment is simulated to estimate the critical energy density corresponding to the onset of electromigration voids at Al–TiN interface.

Unified stress update algorithms for the numerical simulation of large deformation elasto-plastic and elasto-viscoplastic processes

This paper is concerned with unified stress update algorithms for elastoplastic and elasto-viscoplastic constitutive equations for metals submitted to large deformations. We present here a newly developed time integration algorithm which is, in the case of J2 flow theory material behavior, an extension to the viscoplastic range of the classical radial return algorithm for plasticity. The resulting unified implicit algorithm is both efficient and very inexpensive. Moreover, if there is no viscosity effect (rate-independent material) the presented algorithm degenerates exactly into the classical radial return algorithm for plasticity.     

The EHD-driven fluid flow and deformation of a liquid jet by a transverse electric field

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a uniform transverse electric field on the steady-state behavior of a liquid cylinder surrounded by another liquid of infinite extent. The governing electrohydrodynamic equations are solved for Newtonian and immiscible fluids in the framework of leaky-dielectric theory and in the limit of small electric field and fluid inertia. A detailed analysis of the electrical and hydrodynamic stresses acting on the interface separating the two fluids is presented, and an expression is found for the interface deformation for small distortions from a circular shape. The electrical stresses acting on the interface of two leaky-dielectric liquids are compared with those acting on an interface separating a perfect dielectric or infinitely conducting core fluid cylinder from a surrounding perfect dielectric fluid. A comparison is made between the results of this study and those of a similar study for fluids with permeable interfaces and the classical results for liquid drops.     

Irreversible thermodynamics of liquid crystal interfaces

A macroscopic theory for the dynamics of isothermal compressible interfaces between nematic liquid crystalline polymers and isotropic viscous fluids has been formulated using classical irreversible thermodynamics. The theory is based on the derivation of the interfacial rate of entropy production for ordered interfaces, that takes into account interfacial anisotropic viscous dissipation as well as interfacial anisotropic elastic storage. The symmetry breaking of the interface provides a natural decomposition of the forces and fluxes appearing in the entropy production, and singles out the symmetry properties and tensorial dimensionality of the forces and fluxes. Constitutive equations for the surface extra stress tensor and for surface molecular field are derived, and their use in interfacial balance equations for ordered interfaces is identified. It is found that the surface extra stress tensor is asymmetric, since the anisotropic viscoelasticity of the nematic phase is imprinted onto the surface. Consistency of the proposed surface extra stress tensor with the classical Boussinesq constitutive equation appropriate to Newtonian interfaces is demonstrated. The anisotropic viscoelastic nature of the interface between nematic polymers (NPs) and isotropic viscous fluids is demonstrated by deriving and characterizing the dynamic interfacial tension. The theory provides for the necessary theoretical tools needed to describe the interfacial dynamics of NP interfaces, such as capillary instabilities, Marangoni flows, wetting and spreading phenomena.     

Modeling the interfacial effect on the yield strength and flow stress of thin metal films on substrates

It is shown in this paper that interfacial effects have a profound impact on the scale-dependent yield strength and strain hardening rates (flow stress) of metallic thin films on elastic substrates. This is achieved by developing a higher-order strain gradient plasticity theory based on the principle of virtual power and the laws of thermodynamics. This theory enforces microscopic boundary conditions at interfaces which relate a microtraction stress to the interfacial energy at the interface. It is shown that the film bulk length scale controls the size effect if a rigid interface is assumed whereas the interfacial length scale dominates if a compliant interface is assumed.     

Effect of interface stresses on the elastic deformation of an elastic half-plane containing an elastic inclusion

The effect of the interface stresses is studied upon the size-dependent elastic deformation of an elastic half-plane having a cylindrical inclusion with distinct elastic properties. The elastic half-plane is subjected to either a uniaxial loading at infinity or a uniform non-shear eigenstrain in the inclusion. The straight edge of the half-plane is either traction-free, or rigid-slip, or motionless, which represents three practical situations of mechanical structures. Using two-dimensional Papkovich–Neuber potentials and the theory of surface/interface elasticity, the elastic field in the elastic half-plane is obtained. Comparable with classical result, the new formulation renders the significant effect of the interface stresses on the stress distribution in the half-plane when the radius of the inclusion is reduced to the nanometer scale. Numerical results show that the intensity of the influence depends on the surface/interface moduli, the stiffness ratio of the inclusion to the surrounding material, the boundary condition on the edge of the half-plane and the proximity of the inclusion to the edge.
