On some basic principles in dynamic theory of elastic materials with voids

According to the basic idea of dual-complementarity, in a simple and unified way proposed by the author^[1], some basic principles in dynamic theory of elastic materials with voids can be established systematically. In this paper, an important integral relation in terms of convolutions is given, which can be considered as the generalized principle of virtual work in mechanics. Based on this relation, it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work and the reciprocal theorem in dynamic theory of elastic materials with voids, but also to derive systematically the complementary functionals for the eight-field, six-field, four-field and two-field simplified Gurtin-type variational principles. Furthermore, with this approach, the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly.

Generalized variational principles of the viscoelastic body with voids and their applications

From the Boltzmann‘ s constitutive law of viscoelastic materials and the linear theory of elastic materials with voids, a constitutive model of generalized force fields for viscoelastic solids with voids was given. By using the variational integral method, the convolution-type functional was given and the corresponding generalized variational principles and potential energy principle of viscoelastic solids with voids were presented. It can be shown that the variational principles correspond to the differential equations and theinitial and boundary conditions of viscoelastic body with voids. As an application, a generalized variational principle of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams with damage was obtained which corresponds to the differential equations of generalized motion and the initial and boundary conditions of beams. The variational principles provide a way for solving problems of viscoelastic solids with voids.

Impossibility of localization in linear thermoelasticity with voids

In this note we prove the impossibility of the localization in time of the solutions of the linear thermoelasticity with voids. This means that the only solution for this problem that vanishes after a finite time is the null solution. From a thermomechanical point of view, this result says that the combination of the thermal and porous dissipation in the linear theory is not sufficiently strong to guarantee that the thermomechanical deformations will vanish after a finite time. The main idea to prove this result is to show the uniqueness of solutions for the backward in time problem.     

Propagation of wave at the boundary surface of transversely isotropic thermoelastic material with voids and isotropic elastic half-space

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of voids on the surface wave propagation in a layer of a transversely isotropic thermoelastic material with voids lying over an isotropic elastic half-space. The frequency equation is derived after developing a mathematical model for welded and smooth contact boundary conditions. The dispersion curves giving the phase velocity and attenuation coefficient via wave number are plotted graphically to depict the effects of voids and anisotropy for welded contact boundary conditions. The specific loss and amplitudes of the volume fraction field, the normal stress, and the temperature change for welded contact are obtained and shown graphically for a particular model to depict the voids and anisotropy effects. Some special cases are also deduced from the present investigation.

A non-linear rod theory for high-frequency vibrations of thermopiezoelectric materials

In relation to electroelastic media with thermopiezoelectric coupling, the system of one-dimensional equations is consistently derived so as to accommodate the high-frequency vibrations of a rod with temperature-dependent material. In the first part of the paper, a unified variational principle of differential type is presented which describes the fundamental equations of thermopiezoelectricity with second sound, including the physical and geometrical non-linearities. In the second part, the hierarchic system of rod equations is systematically deduced from the three-dimensional fundamental equations by use of Mindlin's method of reduction. The hierarchic system of equations which is derived in both differential and variational forms is capable of predicting the extensional, thickness-shear, flexural and torsional as well as coupled vibrations of the rod of uniform cross-section. All the higher-order effects are taken into account as deemed pertinent in any particular case. In the third part, attention is confined to certain cases involving special motions, materials and geometry. Besides, the uniqueness is investigated in solutions of the linearized system of rod equations and the sufficient conditions are enumerated for the uniqueness of solutions.

On the connections between the functionals of equivalent variational principles

It is proved in this paper that the functionals of equivalent variational principles are different essentially only in terms of weighted residues. Consequently, the simplest method for constructing equivalent variational principles is to add weighted residues to known functionals as first used by Courant [4].
