In terms of that same idea and the definition of micropolar protopotential presented here, the constitutive equations for nonlocal micropolar elastic continua are naturally derived.

Reprint of: Wave momentum in models of generalized continua

The possibility of associating the notion of quasi-particles with elastic wave modes is explored for three basic models of generalized continua: strain-gradient model (weak nonlocality), elasticity with a microstructure such as in Cosserat/micropolar materials, and a true nonlocal model involving the long-range interactions in the underlying crystal lattice. In each case a simplified one-dimensional model is considered. Approximate solutions involving small parameters and exhibiting scale effects are obtained for the Newtonian-like motion of associated quasi-particles. Interpretation for alternate wave-like and quasi-particle-like behaviors is given.

Micropolar hypo-elasticity

In this paper, the concept of hypo-elasticity is generalized to the micropolar continuum theory, and the general forms of the constitutive equations of the micropolar hypo-elastic materials are presented. A new co-rotational objective rate whose spin is the micropolar gyration tensor is introduced which describes the deformation of the material in view of an observer attached to the micro-structure. As special case, simplified versions of the proposed constitutive equations are given in which the same fourth-order elasticity tensors are used as in the micropolar linear elasticity. A 2-D finite element formulation for large elastic deformation of micropolar hypo-elastic media based on the simplified constitutive equations in conjunction with Jaumann and gyration rates is presented. As an example, buckling of a shallow arc is examined, and it is shown that an increase in the micropolar material parameters results in an increase in the buckling load of the arc. Also, it is shown that micropolar effects become important for deformations taking place at small scales.     

RESTUDY OF COUPLED FIELD THEORIES FOR MICROPOLAR CONTINUA (Ⅱ)-THERMOPIEZOELECTRICITY AND MAGNETOTHERMOELASTICITY

The theories of thermopiezoelectricity and magnetoelasticity for micropolar continua have been systematically developed by W. Nowacki. In this paper, the theories are restudied. The reason why they were restricted to linear cases is analyzed. The more general conservation principle of energy, energy balance equation and Hamilton principle of thermopiezoelectricity and magnetoelasticity for micropolar continua are established. The corresponding complete equations of motion and boundary conditions as well as balance equations of energy rate for local and nonlocal micropolar thermopiezoelectricity and magnetothermoelasticity are naturally derived. By means of two new functionals and total variation the boundary conditions of displacement, microrotation, electric potential and temperature are also given.

Bending of small-scale Timoshenko beams based on the integral/differential nonlocal-micropolar elasticity theory: a finite element approach

A novel size-dependent model is developed herein to study the bending behavior of beam-type micro/nano-structures considering combined effects of nonlocality and micro-rotational degrees of freedom. To accomplish this aim, the micropolar theory is combined with the nonlocal elasticity. To consider the nonlocality, both integral(original)and differential formulations of Eringen's nonlocal theory are considered. The beams are considered to be Timoshenko-type, and the governing equations are derived in the variational form through Hamilton's principle. The relations are written in an appropriate matrix-vector representation that can be readily utilized in numerical approaches. A finite element(FE) approach is also proposed for the solution procedure. Parametric studies are conducted to show the simultaneous nonlocal and micropolar effects on the bending response of small-scale beams under different boundary conditions.     

Defects in gradient micropolar elasticity—II: edge dislocation and wedge disclination

A theory of gradient micropolar elasticity based on first gradients of distortion and bend-twist tensors for an isotropic micropolar medium has been proposed in Part I of this paper. Gradient micropolar elasticity is an extension of micropolar elasticity such that in addition to double stresses double couple stresses also appear. The strain energy depends on the micropolar distortion and bend-twist terms as well as on distortion and bend-twist gradients. We use a version of this gradient theory which can be connected to Eringen's nonlocal micropolar elasticity. The theory is used to study a straight-edge dislocation and a straight-wedge disclination. As one important result, we obtained nonsingular expressions for the force and couple stresses. For the edge dislocation the components of the force stress have extremum values near the dislocation line and those of the couple stress have extremum values at the dislocation line and for the wedge disclination the components of the force stress have extremum values at the disclination line and those of the couple stress have extremum values near the disclination line.     

Effective moduli for micropolar composite with interface effect

Size-dependence is well observed for metal matrix composites, however the classical micromechanical model fails to describe this phenomenon. There are two different ways to consider this size-dependency: the first approach is to include the nonlocal effect by idealizing the matrix material as a high order continuum (e.g., micropolar or strain gradient); the second is to take into account the interface effect. In this work, we combine these two approaches together by introducing the interface effect into a micropolar micromechanical model. The interface constitutive relations and the generalized Young–Laplace equation for micropolar material model are firstly presented. Then they are incorporated into the micropolar micromechanical model to predict the effective bulk and shear moduli of a fiber-reinforced composite. Two intrinsic length scales appear: one is related to the microstructure of the matrix material, the other comes from the interface effect. The size-dependent effective moduli due to the nonlocal effect and interface effect can be synchronized or desynchronized for nanosize fibers, depending on the nature of the interface. For the relatively large fiber size, the size-dependence is dominated by the nonlocal effect. As expected, when the fiber size tends to infinity, classical result can be recovered.

Theory of nonlocal asymmetric elastic solids

In this paper, a nonlinear theory of nonlocal asymmetric, elastic solids is developed on the basis of basic theories of nonlocal continuum fieM theory and nonlinear continuum mechanics. It perfects and expands the nonlocal elastic fiteld theory developed by Eringen and others. The linear theory of nonlocal asymmetric elasticity developed in [1] expands to the finite deformation, We show that there is the nonlocal body moment in the nonlocal elastic solids. The noniocal body moment causes the stress asymmetric and itself is caused by the covalent bond formed by the reaction between atoms. The theory developed in this paper is applied to explain reasonably that curves of dispersion relation of one-dimensional plane longitudinal waves are not similar with those of transverse waves.     

On diffraction of normally incident SH-waves by a line crack in micropolar elastic medium

The problem of diffraction of waves due to plane harmonic SH-waves incident normally on a line crack situated in an infinite micropolar elastic medium has been considered. The solution of the problem is obtained for both low and high frequencies for small coupling parameter. The stress-intensity factors in micropolar elastic medium have been derived. The stress-intensity factor for such problem in an elastic medium can be deduced from results obtained in this paper. It is also found that the effect of micropolarity in the propagation of waves is more significant in high frequencies than low frequencies.

Defects in gradient micropolar elasticity—I: screw dislocation

A gradient micropolar elasticity is proposed based on first gradients of distortion and bend-twist tensors for an isotropic micropolar medium. This theory is an extension of the theory of micropolar elasticity with couple stresses together with gradient elasticity in a way that in addition to hyper stresses, hyper couple stresses also appear. In particular, the strain energy, besides its dependence upon the distortion and bend-twist terms of a micropolar medium (Cosserat continuum), depends also on distortion and bend-twist gradients. Using a simplified but rigorous version of this gradient theory, we can connect it to Eringen's nonlocal micropolar elasticity. In addition, it is used to study a screw dislocation in gradient micropolar elasticity. One important result is that we obtained nonsingular expressions for the force and couple stresses. The components of the force stress have maximum values near the dislocation line and those of the couple stress have maximum values at the dislocation line.     

NEW POINTS OF VIEW ON THE NONLOCAL FIELD THEORY AND THEIR APPLICATIONS TO THE FRACTURE MECHANICS(Ⅲ)——RE-DISCUSS THE LINEAR THEORY OF NONLOCAL ELASTICITY

In this paper, it is proven that the balance equation of energy is the first integral of the balance equation of momentum in the linear theory of nonlocal elasticity. In other words, the balance equation of energy is not an independent one. It is also proven that the residual of nonlocal body force identically equals zero. This makes the transform formula of the nonlocal residual of energy much simpler. The linear nonlocal consitutive equations of elastic bodies are deduced in details, and a new formula to calculate the antisymmetric stress is given.

Various reciprocal theorems and variational principles in the theories of nonlocal micropolar linear elastic mediums

In the first part of our paper, we have extended the concepts of the classical convolution and the convolution scalar product given by I. Hlaváck and presented the concepts of the convolution vector and the convolution vector scalar product, which enable us to extend the initial value as well as the initial-boundary value problems for the equation with the operator coefficients to those for the system of equations with the operator coefficients.In the second part of this paper, based on the concepts of the convolution vector and the convolution vector scalar product, two fundamental types of reciprocal theorems of the non-local micropolar linear elastodynamics for inhomogeneous and anisotropic solids are derived.In the third part of this paper, based on the concepts and results in the first and second parts as well as the Lagrange multiplies method which is presented by W. Z. Chien, four main types of variational principles are given for the nonlocal micropolar linear elastodynamics for inhomogeneous and anisotropic solids. These are the counterparts of the variational principles of Hu-Washizu type, Hellinger-Reissner type and Gurtin type in classical elasticity as well as Hlaváck type and Iesan type in local micropolar and nonlocal elasticity. Finally, we have proved the equivalence of the last two main variational principles which are given in this paper.
