Fundamental properties of elasto-plastic matrix and existence and uniqueness of elasto-plastic stress and displacement

Based on the assumption that the yield criterionF(,)=0 is a differentiable surface in stress space and by starting from a specially defined real Euclidean space, the fundamental properties of the elasto-plastic matrix in the incremental theory of plasticity is discussed in detail. By using these results, a convex analysis is made to prove the existence and uniqueness of 1) the distribution of incremental elasto-plastic stress for work-hardening materrials; 2) the displacement distribution for work-hardening materials. Material isotropy is assumed in all discussions of relevant problems.

Experimental and Computational Investigation of Low-Impact Velocity and Quasi-Static Failure of PMMA

An investigation of the low velocity impact and quasi-static failure of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) based on global and local post-impact strain measurements was conducted. Local strains were obtained from surface mounted Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors, and they were combined with global measurements from quasi-static indentation and low-velocity impact experiments, and finite-element analyses to obtain detailed maps of how failure spatially initiates and evolves. For both loading regimes, the interactions between the host PMMA specimens and the sensors played a crucial role in the evolution of residual strains. A mapping of the strains clearly shows that strains decrease radially, from high values near the point of impact to far-field values. Sensors located in critical locations, which are near the impact region, had the highest residual strains prior to PMMA fracture. Furthermore, it was determined that strain transfer to the sensor is strongly influenced by the bonding conditions at the specimen’s surface. Due to the debonding of the sensor and the frictional effects associated with the bonding agent, compressive residual strains occurred on the rear-surface. Hence, a detailed understanding of how strain evolves due to sensor-host interactions and catastrophic fracture can be obtained, which can potentially be used to mitigate damage in PMMA for a range of strain-rates.     

Structure and rheology of fiber-laden membranes via integration of nematodynamics and membranodynamics

This paper presents a study of the structure and dynamics of rigid fiber-laden deformable curved fluid membranes based on an viscoelastic model that integrates the statics of anisotropic membranes, the planar nematodynamics of fibers and the dynamics of isotropic membranes. Fiber-laden membranes arise frequently in biological systems, such as the plant cell wall and in protein–lipid bilayers. Based on the membrane's force and torque balance equations and the fiber's balance of molecular fields, a viscoelastic anisotropic model that provides the governing equations for the membrane's velocity and curvature and the fiber structure (fiber orientation and order) is found. A Helmholtz free energy that incorporates the tension/bending/and torsion membrane elasticity, the Landau–de Gennes fiber ordering, and fiber order-membrane curvature interactions is used to derive elastic moments, torques, and stresses. The corresponding viscous stresses and moments include the Boussinesq–Scriven contributions as well as bending, torsion, and rotational dissipation. A spectral decomposition leads to the main viscoelastic material functions for anisotropic fluid membranes. Applications of the rheological model to cylindrical growth and cylindrical axial stretching show that competing curvo-phobic, curvo-philic interactions under extensional flow predict transitions between axial and azimuthal fiber arrangements, of interest to cellulose fiber orientation in plant morphogenesis.     

Thixotropy of greases and low-speed operation of rotational plastoviscometers and rolling bearings

Summary A typical property of greases, as plastic disperse systems, is their thixotropy (reversible destruction of their structure due to deformation). In relation to this, if the rate of their formation drops below a certain critical value it becomes practically very difficult or even impossible to attain steady conditions of their flow. This is observed both in rotational plastoviscometers and in rolling-contact bearings, and is manifested in more or less sharp fluctuations of the resistance moments. The critical value of the rate of deformation depends on the nature of the grease and the rigidity of the braking device or the power reserve of the drive, decreasing when these values are increased. When soap greases are deformed they become anisotropic, which, when the direction of deformation is changed, tells perceptibly on their resistance to deformation and results in fluctuations of the resistance moments in rolling bearings.     

Unified modeling of the monotonic and cyclic behaviors of sand and clay

In this study, we aim to investigate a unified modeling method for the monotonic and cyclic behaviors of sand and clay. A simple double-yield-surface model, with plastic hardening modulus and dilatancy relation being dependent on density state unlike in existing approaches,is developed by considering the location of the critical state line. The model is used to simulate the drained and undrained tests of various sands and clays under monotonic and cyclic loadings.Prediction results are compared with experimental results, which show that the proposed approach is capable of modeling the monotonic and cyclic behaviors of sand and clay.     

Rheological and foaming behavior of linear and branched polylactides

In this work, a chain extender (CE) was added to polylactide (PLA) to improve its foamability. The steady and transient rheological properties of neat PLA and CE-treated PLA revealed that the introduction of the CE profoundly affected the melt viscosity and elasticity. The linear viscoelastic properties of CE-enriched PLA suggested that a long-chain branching (LCB) structure was formed from the reaction with the CE. LCB-PLA exhibited an increased viscosity, more shear sensitivity, and longer relaxation time in comparison with the linear PLA. The LCB structure was also found to affect the transient shear stress growth and elongational flow behavior. LCB-PLA exhibited a pronounced strain hardening, whereas no strain hardening was observed for the linear PLA. Batch foaming of the linear and LCB-PLAs was also examined at foaming temperatures of 130, 140, and 155 °C. The LCB structure significantly increased the integrity of the cells, cell density, and void fraction.     

Initiation and propagation of fracture in the models of Griffith and Barenblatt

In the setting of the simplest debonding problem we give a systematic comparison of the fracture models due to Griffith and Barenblatt. We prove that the Griffith model represents an asymptotic -limit of the Barenblatt model, when the ratio of the external and internal lengths increases indefinitely. We then illustrate the character of convergence by solving explicitly two sample problems with initially rigid and initially elastic cohesive energies. The geometrical simplicity of the setting allows us to study the small parameter dependence of both global and local minimizers of the total energy.Received: 22 April 2003, Accepted: 12 September 2003, Published online: 9 January 2004PACS: 62.20.Mk, 68.35.Md, 81.40.Jj, 83.50.LhCorrespondence to: J.-J.

从实验和模拟计算两个方面,对涡旋波流场的速度矢量图和涡量进行了定量测试和综合分析,并对涡旋波流动与其特征影响参数之间的关系进行了研究。结果表明:涡旋波流动只在二维层流状态下产生,涡旋波形成后,Re数对旋涡尺寸的影响较小,涡量随Re数的增大而增大,但涡量不随时间的增加而单调增加。随着St数的减小,旋涡尺寸明显增大,涡量却随之减小。本文也对不同槽道内的涡旋波流场进行了数值模拟计算,进而确定了涡旋波流场的形成条件。     

Fatigue and static strength of notched and unnotched aluminum-alloy and steel specimens

This paper describes a method of presentation of fatigue data on three commonly used aircraft materials, 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys and normalized SAE 4130 steel, such that variations in fatigue strength with stress-concentration factor can be shown. Comparisons of the fatigue strengths of 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum are made for the most useful range of stress-concentration factors. Static-strength results of notched and unnotched specimens of the three materials are presented to show how the strength varies with some parameters of the stress concentration. Comparison of the data with one theory for the strength of cracked specimens was made.

Measurement of rheological and ultrasonic properties of food and synthetic polymer melts

A slit die viscometer has been used in conjunction with a co-rotating twin screw extruder to study the rheological behaviour of maize grits, potato powder and low density polyethylene, as a function of feed rate, screw speed and temperature. The shear viscosity of both maize and potato decreased with increasing feed rate. Increasing the temperature or screw speed at any given feed rate also reduced the viscosity. The ultrasonic velocity through the material has also been shown to be sensitive to the extruder operating conditions. Overall, the ultrasonic velocity decreased as screw speed and temperature increased and feed rate decreased.

The problem of the linear stability of a layer of liquid entrained by a gas has been investigated for some special cases in [1–7]. In [8], the linear problem was solved numerically and the solution compared with some analytic solutions for special cases of the flow. In the present paper, the results of linear analysis are presented more comprehensively; the problem of finite-amplitude stability of the film is posed and solved numerically; the results of the linear and nonlinear analysis are compared with data of an experiment performed by the authors and by other experimentalists.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 36–42, January–February, 1979.We are grateful to V.
