Propagation and localization of two-dimensional in-plane elastic waves in randomly disordered layered piezoelectric phononic crystals

Two-dimensional in-plane wave propagation and localization in the disordered layered piezoelectric phononic crystals with material 6 mm are investigated taking the electromechanical coupling into account. The electric field is approximated as quasi-static. The analytical solutions of elastic waves are obtained. The 6 × 6 transfer matrix between two consecutive unit cells is obtained by means of the mechanical and electrical continuity conditions. The expressions of the localization factor and localization length in the disordered periodic structures are presented by regarding the variables of the mechanical and electrical fields as the elements of the state vector. The numerical results of the localization factors and localization lengths are presented for two kinds of disordered piezoelectric phononic crystals, i.e. ZnO–PZT–5H and PVDF–PZT–5H piezocomposites. It is seen from the results that the incident angle of elastic waves and the thickness of the piezoelectric ceramics have significant effects on the wave localization characteristics. For different piezoelectric phononic crystals, the effects of the incident angle are very different. Moreover, with the increase of the disorder degree, the localization phenomenon is strengthened.     

Wave localization in randomly disordered periodic layered piezoelectric structures

Considering the mechnoelectrical coupling, the localization of SH-waves in disordered periodic layered piezoelectric structures is studied. The waves propagating in directions normal and tangential to the layers are considered. The transfer matrices between two consecutive unit cells are obtained according to the continuity conditions. The expressions of localization factor and localization length in the disordered periodic structures are presented. For the disordered periodic piezoelectric structures, the numerical results of localization factor and localization length are presented and discussed. It can be seen from the results that the frequency passbands and stopbands appear for the ordered periodic structures and the wave localization phenomenon occurs in the disordered periodic ones, and the larger the coefficient of variation is, the greater the degree of wave localization is. The widths of stopbands in the ordered periodic structures are very narrow when the properties of the consecutive piezoelectric materials are similar and the intervals of stopbands become broader when a certain material parameter has large changes. For the wave propagating in the direction normal to the layers the localization length has less dependence on the frequency, but for the wave propagating in the direction tangential to the layers the localization length is strongly dependent on the frequency.The project supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (10632020, 10672017 and 20451057).

WAVE LOCALIZATION IN RANDOMLY DISORDERED PERIODIC PIEZOELECTRIC RODS WITH INITIAL STRESS

The elastic wave localization in disordered periodic piezoelectric rods with initial stress is studied using the transfer matrix and Lyapunov exponent method. The electric field is approximated as quasi-static. The effects of the initial stress on the band gap characteristics are investigated. The numerical calculations of localization factors and localization lengths are performed. It can be observed from the results that the band structures can be tuned by exerting the suitable initial stress. For different values of the piezoelectric rod length and the elastic constant, the band structures and the localization phenomena are very different. Larger disorder degree can lead to more obvious localization phenomenon.     

Influence of damage on properties of strain localization in geomaterials at plane stress and plane strain

Summary By regarding geomaterials under loading as a mixture of intact and damaged parts, we investigate the influence of damage on the properties of strain localization in elastoplastic geomaterials at plane stress and plane strain. Conditions for the onset of strain localization including the effects of damage are derived for the cases of plane strain and plane stress. Discussed are the inclination of the localized band and the hardening modulus corresponding to the onset of strain localization. It is shown that the properties of the strain localization are dependent on the damage and the capacity of bearing hydrostatic pressure by the damaged part, and that damage may induce an earlier onset of strain localization and lead to instability of a geomaterial.accepted for publication 11 March 2004

Study on wave localization in disordered periodic layered piezoelectric composite structures

The two-dimensional wave propagation and localization in disordered periodic layered 2-2 piezoelectric composite structures are studied by considering the mechanic-electric coupling. The transfer matrix between two consecutive sub-layers is obtained based on the continuity conditions. Regarding the variables of mechanical and electrical fields as the elements of the state vector, the expression of the localization factors in disordered periodic layered piezoelectric composite structures is derived. Numerical results are presented for two cases—disorder of the thickness of the polymers and disorder of the piezoelectric and elastic constants of the piezoelectric ceramics. The results show that due to the piezoelectric effects, the characteristics of the wave localization in disordered periodic layered piezoelectric composite structures are different from those in disordered periodic layered purely elastic ones. The wave localization is strengthened due to the piezoelectricity. And the larger the piezoelectric constant is, the larger the wave localization factors are. It is found that slight disorder in the piezoelectric or elastic constants of the piezoelectric ceramics can lead to more prominent localization phenomenon.     

Evolution of strain localization in glassy polymers: A numerical study

An explicit numerical implementation is described, for a constitutive model of glassy polymers, previously proposed and validated. Then it is exploited within a Finite Element continuum model, to simulate spontaneous strain localization (necking) occurring during extension of a prismatic bar of a typical glassy polymer. Material parameters for atactic polystyrene are employed. The material model is physically based and highly non-linearly viscoelastic. Three of its principal features are critical in simulations of strain localization: rate-dependence of plastic flow stress; strain-induced structural rejuvenation, represented by increase of Tool’s fictive temperature and leading to pronounced post-yield strain softening; and molecular alignment during extension, giving rise to strain-hardening. In all simulations there is a peak in nominal stress, satisfying the condition for localization to occur. Nevertheless, the simulations show that the process of strain localization varies considerably, depending on details of the extension sequence and on assumed values for certain material parameters. A characteristic feature observed is that strain localization in such a material occurs in two stages. There is an initial spurt associated with strain-softening, followed by a slower growth of localization that eventually subsides, ultimately giving way to uniform extension of the neck. But the details of evolution of the strain distribution vary greatly. The rapidity and severity of localization are increased by decreased temperature, increased strain-rate or greater structural rejuvenation. A simple one-dimensional stability analysis is successful in explaining the results.     

An energy-based localization theory: II. Effects of the diffusion,inertia, and dissipation numbers

The basic framework for an energy-based theory of localization in dynamic viscoplasticity was recently developed by Cherukuri and Shawki [1994]. In this framework, the total kinetic energy serves as a single parameter for the characterization of the full localization history. A characteristic evolution profile of the kinetic energy was shown to correspond to a localizing deformation. Here, the energy-based characterization of localization is implemented toward the improved understanding of the mechanics of shear band formation. In particular, the influence of three primary dimensionless groups on localization is examined. These groups are referred to as the inertia number, the diffusion number, and the dissipation number. The limits of applicability of the quasistatic assumption as well as the adiabatic deformation assumption are also addressed. Computational evidence indicates that the dissipation number plays a significant role in determining the material localization sensitivity.     

The propagation and localization of Rayleigh waves in disordered piezoelectric phononic crystals

In this paper, the propagation and localization of Rayleigh waves in disordered piezoelectric phononic crystals with material 6 mm are studied taking the electromechanical coupling into account. The electric field is approximated as quasi-static. The analytical solutions of Rayleigh waves are obtained. The 6×6 transfer matrix between two consecutive unit cells is obtained by means of the mechanical and electrical continuity conditions. The expression of the localization factor in disordered periodic structures is presented by regarding the variables of the mechanical and electrical fields as the elements of the state vector. The numerical results for a piezoelectric phononic crystal—PVDF-PZT-2 piezocomposite—are presented and analyzed. From the results we can see that the localization is strengthened with the increase of the disorder degree. The characteristics of the passbands and stopbands are influenced by different ratios of the thickness of the polymers to that of the piezoelectric ceramics. Disorder in elastic constant c₁₁ of PZT-2 can also result in the localization phenomenon. The propagation and localization of Rayleigh waves in piezoelectric phononic crystals may be controlled by properly designing some structural parameters.     

Simulation and interpretation of diffuse mode bifurcation of elastoplastic solids

The diffuse mode bifurcation of elastoplastic solids at finite strain is investigated. The multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient and the hyperelasto-plastic constitutive relationship are adapted to the numerical bifurcation analysis of the elastoplastic solids. First, bifurcation analyses of rectangular plane strain specimens subjected to uniaxial compression are conducted. The onset of the diffuse mode bifurcations from a homogeneous state is detected; moreover, the post-bifurcation states for these modes are traced to arrive at localization to narrow band zones, which look like shear bands. The occurrence of diffuse mode bifurcation, followed by localization, is advanced as a possible mechanism to create complex deformation and localization patterns, such as shear bands. These computational diffuse modes and localization zones are shown to be in good agreement with the associated experimental ones observed for sand specimens to ensure the validity of this mechanism. Next, the degradation of horizontal sway stiffness of a rectangular specimen due to plane strain uniaxial compression is pointed out as a cause of the bifurcation of the first antisymmetric diffuse mode, which triggers the tilting of the specimen. Last, circular and punching failures of a footing on a foundation are simulated.     

Wave localization in randomly disordered layered three-component phononic crystals with thermal effects

In this paper, the propagation and localization of elastic waves in randomly disordered layered three-component phononic crystals with thermal effects are studied. The transfer matrix is obtained by applying the continuity conditions between three consecutive sub-cells. Based on the transfer matrix method and Bloch theory, the expressions of the localization factor and dispersion relation are presented. The relation between the localization factors and dispersion curves is discussed. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the influences of the incident angle on band structures of ordered phononic crystals. For the randomly disordered ones, disorders of structural thickness ratios and Lamé constants are considered. The incident angles, disorder degrees, thickness ratios, Lamé constants and temperature changes have prominent effects on wave localization phenomena in three-component systems. Furthermore, it can be observed that stopbands locate in very low-frequency regions. The localization factor is an effective way to investigate randomly disordered phononic crystals in which the band structure cannot be described.     

Mode Localization in Dynamics and Buckling of Linear Imperfect Continuous Structures

Localization phenomena in one-dimensional imperfect continuous structures are analyzed, both in dynamics and buckling. By using simple models, fundamental concepts about localization are introduced and similarities between dynamics and buckling localization are highlighted. In particular, it is shown that strong localization of the normal modes is due to turning points in which purely imaginary characteristic exponents assume a non zero real part; in contrast, if turning points do not occur, only weak localization can exist. The possibility of a disturbance propagating along the structure is also discussed. A perturbation method is then illustrated, which generalizes the classical WKB method; this allows the differential problem to be transformed into a sequence of algebraic problems in which the spatial variable appears as a parameter. Applications of the method are worked out for beams and strings on elastic soil. All these structures are found to have nearly-defective system matrices, so their characteristic exponents are highly sensitive to imperfections.     

Structural bifurcation for ductile necking localization

Necking localization is common unstable behavior in ductile solids. This paper describes the unified necking localization mechanism. After describing one-dimensional instability problem, general material and structural instability criteria are formulated and the formulation is validated by non-linear finite element analysis. The trigger of necking localization is structural bifurcation and the behavior from a uniformly deformed state to ultimate localization just before fracture is continuous structural instability.     

Plastic deformation localization in commercial Zr-base alloys

The issues concerning the localization of plastic deformation in commercial Zr alloys used in the nuclear power industry are addressed. The possible types of deformation localization pictures corresponding with the respective stages of plastic flow are described. These are shown to be various kinds of self-excited wave processes of plastic flow. The dislocation structure of the material occurring within and in between the nuclei of localized deformation is investigated. The use of the self-excited wave patterns of plastic flow localization as an additional source of information on the mechanical properties of metals and alloys is substantiated.
