钻孔法和光栅应变花测试复合材料的残余应力

残余应力对材料、结构的疲劳强度和使用寿命等性能的影响早已为人们所熟知,由于它的大小、方向和分布随制造加工或处理方法不同而有很大的随机性,国内外对它的研究很重视。对于各向异性的复合材料,随着加上生产制造过程及工艺参数的不同,其中的残余应力的大小、方向等就更加复杂。从国内外对残余应力的研究中,可以看出大多数都着重于实验研究。本文应用钻孔法和云纹干涉技术的成果,针对残余应力测试中的特点,尤其是在利用钻孔法和云纹干涉技术测试残余应力时存在的问题,在目前绝大多数云纹干涉技术所使用的正交光栅的基础上,提出并研制出一种三个方向的光栅,即在原来 0°、90°两个方向光栅上,再加上一个 45°方向的光栅,在进行云纹干涉测试时,一次加载时就可以同时测试出三个独立的位移场:u场、v场和s场,利用这三个位移场就可以得到相应的三个应变:ε0、ε90和ε45,进而可以计算得到相应的应力。

Stability of a rectangular plate under biaxial tension

The stability problem of a rectangular plate undergoing uniform biaxial in-plane tensile strain is solved using the three-dimensional equations of nonlinear elasticity. The surfaces of the plate are stress-free, and special boundary conditions that allow one to separate variables in the linearized equilibrium equations are specified on the lateral surfaces. For three particular models of incompressible materials, the critical curves are constructed and the instability region is determined in the plane of the loading parameters (the multiplicities of elongations of the plate material in the unperturbed equilibrium state). The numerical results show that for thin plates loaded by tensile stresses, the size and shape of the instability region depend only slightly on the relation among the length, width, and thickness of the plate. Based on the results obtained, a simple approximate stability criterion is proposed for an elastic plate under tensile loads. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 48, No. 4, pp. 94–103, July–August, 2007.

Stability and initial postbuckling behavior of anisotropic cylindrical shells under external pressure

A solution is obtained to describe the stability and initial postbuckling behavior of cylindrical shells made of composites with one plane of symmetry. The solution is based on the Donnell-Mushtari-Vlasov nonlinear theory of anisotropic shells and Koiter’s theory of buckling and postbuckling behavior. Calculated results are presented for boron plastic shells with reinforcement of different types under external pressure. It is shown that the conventional model of a composite as an orthotropic material is erroneous for many types of reinforcement __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 3, pp. 86–103, March 2007.     

Dynamics of a prestressed incompressible layered half-space under moving load

The paper addresses a plane problem: a concentrated force acts on a plate resting on an elastic half-space with homogeneous prestrain. The equations of motion of the plate incorporate shear and rotary inertia. The half-space is assumed to be incompressible and isotropic in the natural state. The elastic potential is given in general form and is only specified for numerical purposes. The dependence of the critical velocity of the load and the stress-strain state on the prestresses is analyzed for different ratios between the stiffnesses of the layer and half-space and different contact conditions. The calculations are carried out for a half-space with Bartenev-Khazanovich potential __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 3, pp. 36–54, March 2008.     

Kink Surfaces in a Directionally Reinforced neo-Hookean Material under Plane Deformation: II. Kink Band Stability and Maximally Dissipative Band Broadening

Stationary kinks (elastostatic shocks) are examined in the context of a base neo-Hookean response augmented with unidirectional reinforcing that is characterized by a single additional constitutive parameter for the additional fiber reinforcing stiffness. Previous work has shown that such a transversely isotropic material can support stationary kinks in plane deformation if the reinforcing is sufficiently great. If the deformation on one side of the kink involves a load axis aligned with the fiber axis, then the more general plane deformation on the other side of the kink is characterized in terms of a one-parameter family of (kink orientation, kink strength)-pairs. Here, the ellipticity status of the two correlated deformation states is shown to span all four possible ellipticity/nonellipticity permutations. If both deformation states are elliptic, then a suitable intermediate deformation is shown to be nonelliptic. Maximally dissipative quasi-static kink motion is examined and interpreted in terms of kink band broadening in on-axis loading. Such maximally dissipative kinks nucleate only in compression as weak kinks, with subsequent motion converting nonelliptic deformation to elliptic deformation. The associated fiber rotation involves three periods: an initial period of slow rotation, a secondary period of rapid rotation, and a final period of essentially constant orienation.     

Stability of the Interface of a Liquid-Suspension System under High-Frequency Nonlinearly Polarized Vibration

The stability of the state of a two-layer system consisting of a homogeneous liquid and a solid particle suspension in the same liquid with a plane interface between them is investigated. The system performs both horizontal and vertical high-frequency vibration with an arbitrary phase shift. It is shown that a mean flow develops under the simultaneous action of both horizontal and vertical vibration; quantitative flow stability characteristics are determined numerically using the differential sweep method. It is shown that a traveling wave relief exists on the liquid-suspension interface. Transverse oscillations in phase with longitudinal oscillations destabilize the entire system. The presence of an oscillation phase shift can lead to an increase in the stability limit; the direction of motion of the wave relief can differ depending on the value of the phase shift. Instability of the system in the presence of strictly vertical vibration is observed, the crisis being associated with longwave monotonic perturbations.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, 2005, pp. 3–13.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Lobov, Lyubimov, and Lyubimova.     

Theory of Short-Term Microdamageability for a Homogeneous Material under Physically Nonlinear Deformation

The structural theory of short-term damageability is generalized to the case of physically nonlinear deformation of an undamaged material. The stochastic elasticity equations for a porous medium whose skeleton deforms nonlinearly are used. The failure criterion for a microvolume of the material is assumed to be in the Huber–Mises form. The microdamage balance equation for a physically nonlinear material is derived. This equation and the macrostress–macrostrain relation for a porous physically nonlinear material constitute a closed-form system describing the coupled processes of physically nonlinear deformation and microdamage. An algorithm is constructed for computing microdamage–macrostrain relationships and plotting deformation curves. Such curves are plotted for the case of uniaxial tension     

Stability of elastic and viscoelastic systems under a random perturbations of their parameters

Summary The present paper is concerned with the investigation of the almost sure stability of elastic and viscoelastic systems, when their parameters assume a random wide-band stationary process. The parameters are parametric loads, characteristics of external damping and material viscosity. With the help of Liapunov's direct method, the sufficient condition of the almost sure asymptotic stability for distributed parameter systems with respect to perturbations of initial conditions of an arbitrary form is obtained. It is shown that, in some cases, this condition coincides with a similar condition derived from the assumption that the form of sure and required perturbations coincides with the first eigenfunction of system oscillations. However, an example is given for the stability of a viscoelastic rod, when the perturbations of initial conditions are more dangerous, if their form differs from the first eigenfunction.This research was sponsored by the Russian Foundation of Fundamental Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences under Grant 94-01-01522.
