Phase boundary motion in an elastic bar of finite length

Using the continuum mechanical model of solid-solid phase transitions of Abeyaratne and Knowles, this paper examines the large time dynamical behavior of a phase boundary. The problem studied concerns a finite elastic bar initially in an equilibrium state that involves two material phases separated by a phase boundary at a given location. Interaction between the moving phase boundary and the elastic waves generated by an impact at the end of the bar and subsequent reflections is studied in detail by using a finite difference scheme. The numerical results show that the phase boundary in a finite bar returns to an equilibrium state after a disturbance of finite duration, whether the two-phase material is trilinear or not.     

Dynamic behavior of the interface between two solid phases in an elastic bar

Using the continuum mechanical model of solid-solid phase transitions of Abeyaratne and Knowles, this paper examines the large time dynamical behavior of a phase boundary. The problem studied concerns a semi-infinite elastic bar initially in an equilibrium state that involves two material phases separated by a phase boundary at a given location. Interaction between the phase boundary and the elastic waves generated by an impact at the end of the bar and subsequent reflections is studied in detail, and an exact solution of the dynamical problem, which is governed by a nonlinear resursive formula, is obtained. It is shown that the phase boundary reaches a new equilibrium state for large time. Numerical calculations based on the recursive formula are carried out to illustrate analytical results.Address after August 15, 1995: Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA24061, USA.

The conception of buckling relative initial imperfection is presented in this paper. According to Boulli-Euler beam equation, the dynamic buckling mode of an elastic bar under the homogeneous boundary conditions can be derived by applying the preferred mode analytical method. As an example, the dynamic buckling mode of an elastic bar clamped at both ends is discussed.

On the longitudinal impact of two phase transforming bars. Elastic versus a rate-type approach. Part II: The rate-type case

We study the propagation of phase transformation fronts induced by the longitudinal impact of two shape memory alloy bars modeled by a general form of a rate-type approach to non-monotone elasticity. We illustrate that such a rate-type law should be seen like a kinetic law for phase transformation. This investigation continues in a comparative way the analysis of the dynamic theory of elastic bar considered in Part I in relation with a viscosity criterion. We focus here on mathematical, thermodynamical and experimental aspects related with the wave structure which accompanies both the forward and reverse transformation. We analyze the propagation of disturbances in a pure phase near and far from their sources, that is the instantaneous waves and the delayed waves as well as the traveling wave solutions and the accompanying dissipation. In the numerical experiments one focuses on the influence of the impact velocity on the way the phase boundary propagates and on the results which can indicate indirectly the existence of a phase transformation like the time of separation, the velocity–time profile at the rear end of the target and the stress history at the impact face.

Dynamics of Phase Transitions and Hysteresis in a Viscoelastic Ericksen's Bar on an Elastic Foundation

This work is a follow-up on the study [32] of interface dynamics and hysteresis in materials undergoing solid-solid phase transitions. We consider the dynamics of a viscoelastic bar with a nonmonotone stress-strain relation and viscous stress linearly proportional to the strain rate. The bar is placed on an elastic foundation with stiffness β mimicking the interaction of phases in higher dimensions. Time-dependent displacement-controlled loading of the bar results in a tilted and serrated hysteresis loop, in qualitative agreement with some experimental observations in shape-memory alloys. The model exhibits three phase transition processes: phase nucleation, interface slip and phase annihilation. Between these dynamic processes the system gets stuck in local minimizers of the potential energy. As β increases from zero, a slip-dominated solution behavior transforms to the one where slip and annihilation events are preceded by a step-by-step nucleation process. We show that this transition is caused by an interplay between the slip-favoring inertia term and the nucleation-favoring elastic foundation terms. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Torsion of an elastic solid cylinder with a radial variation in the shear modulus

A Green's function approach is used to formulate and obtain the stress field, under torsional loads in a radially finite solid cylinder with radially variable elastic modulus. With this approach a certain dual static-geometric analogy in the solution is readily proved and applied to generate the solution with stress boundary conditions from that with displacement boundary conditions and vice-versa.The problem is solved using both boundary conditions and for an exponentially varying shear modulus. In particular, under displacement boundary conditions, the stress field in the solid with a generalised Reissner-Sagoci boundary condition is easily deduced. With stress boundary conditions, the criteria for crack propagation in such elastic models are also obtained using the Griffith-Irwin condition of rupture.     

Effect of a viscoelastic target on the impact response of a flat-nosed projectile

Taylor impact is a widely used strategy in which a flat-nosed projectile is fired onto a rigid anvil directly to determine the dynamic strength of rod specimens. Nowadays, the rigid anvil is often replaced by an output target bar to ensure the accuracy of measurement via recording strain signals in the output bar. For testing the dynamic strength of low-density materials, a low-impedance target bar, which exhibits viscoelastic characteristics is often employed. In this paper, an extended Taylor model is proposed to improve the idealization of treating the target bar as perfectly rigid material in the classic Taylor model, and the viscoelastic effect of the target bar is incorporated. The viscoelastic target bar is depicted by two elastic springs and one dashpot. Based on the plastic shock wave theory in the flat-nosed projectile associated with the viscoelastic wave analysis in the target bar, the viscoelastic effect of the target bar on the impact response of the flat-nosed projectile is investigated. The finite element simulation is also carried out to verify the theoretical model, and good agreement is found. The present theoretical model is also called the Taylor-cylinder Hopkinson impact, which provides a more accurate way to identify the dynamic material parameters. The dynamic responses of the present model are further compared with previous elastic and rigid target bar models. It is found that the viscoelastic effect of the target bar should be taken into consideration in the Taylor-cylinder Hopkinson impact test for low-impedance materials.

Criteria of design for progressive torsion-bar springs

The paper discusses the necessary conditions for attaining a design yielding a spring-rate function which is variable. The dynamic response is expressed in terms of velocity and displacement by means of a phase plot (integral curve). A method is presented which allows the generation of a ramp function of multiple shaft splines fitting into a serrated hub to yield the required spring-rate function of the torsion bar. It is shown that the engagement length of splines results in a change of the effective length of the elastic torsion spring. The ramp function can be generated directly from a known spring-rate function. In particular, the constant-frequency variable-mass system is considered.     

The damage tolerance of elastic-brittle, two-dimensional isotropic lattices

The fracture toughness of elastic-brittle 2D lattices is determined by the finite element method for three isotropic periodic topologies: the regular hexagonal honeycomb, the Kagome lattice and the regular triangular honeycomb. The dependence of mode I and mode II fracture toughness upon relative density is determined for each lattice, and the fracture envelope is obtained in combined mode I-mode II stress intensity factor space. Analytical estimates are also made for the dependence of mode I and mode II toughness upon relative density. The high nodal connectivity of the triangular grid ensures that it deforms predominantly by stretching of the constituent bars, while the hexagonal honeycomb deforms by bar bending. The Kagome microstructure deforms by bar stretching remote from the crack tip, and by a combination of bar bending and bar stretching within a characteristic elastic deformation zone near the crack tip. This elastic zone reduces the stress concentration at the crack tip in the Kagome lattice and leads to an elevated macroscopic toughness.Predictions are given for the tensile and shear strengths of a centre-cracked panel with microstructure given explicitly by each of the three topologies. The hexagonal and triangular honeycombs are flaw-sensitive, with a strength adequately predicted by linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) for cracks spanning more than a few cells. In contrast, the Kagome microstructure is damage tolerant, and for cracks shorter than a transition length its tensile strength and shear strength are independent of crack length but are somewhat below the unnotched strength. At crack lengths exceeding the transition value, the strength decreases with increasing crack length in accordance with the LEFM estimate. This transition crack length scales with the parameter of bar length divided by relative density of the Kagome grid, and can be an order of magnitude greater than the cell size at low relative densities. Finally, the presence of a boundary layer is noted at the free edge of a crack-free Kagome grid loaded in tension and in shear. Deformation within this boundary layer is by a combination of bar bending and stretching whereas remote from the free edge the Kagome grid deforms by bar stretching (with a negligible contribution from bar bending). The edge boundary layer degrades both the macroscopic stiffness and strength of the Kagome plate. No such boundary layer is evident for the hexagonal and triangular honeycombs.     

Dynamic analysis of 3-D beam elements including warping and shear deformation effects

In this paper the dynamic analysis of 3-D beam elements restrained at their edges by the most general linear torsional, transverse or longitudinal boundary conditions and subjected in arbitrarily distributed dynamic twisting, bending, transverse or longitudinal loading is presented. For the solution of the problem at hand, a boundary element method is developed for the construction of the 14 × 14 stiffness matrix and the corresponding nodal load vector of a member of an arbitrarily shaped simply or multiply connected cross section, taking into account both warping and shear deformation effects, which together with the respective mass and damping matrices lead to the formulation of the equation of motion. To account for shear deformations, the concept of shear deformation coefficients is used, defining these factors using a strain energy approach. Eight boundary value problems with respect to the variable along the bar angle of twist, to the primary warping function, to a fictitious function, to the beam transverse and longitudinal displacements and to two stress functions are formulated and solved employing a pure BEM approach that is only boundary discretization is used. Both free and forced transverse, longitudinal or torsional vibrations are considered, taking also into account effects of transverse, longitudinal, rotatory, torsional and warping inertia and damping resistance. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the method and demonstrate its efficiency and accuracy. The influence of the warping effect especially in members of open form cross section is analyzed through examples demonstrating the importance of the inclusion of the warping degrees of freedom in the dynamic analysis of a space frame. Moreover, the discrepancy in the dynamic analysis of a member of a spatial structure arising from the ignorance of the shear deformation effect necessitates the inclusion of this additional effect, especially in thick walled cross section members.     

Longitudinal free vibration of inhomogeneous elastic straight strut with a variable cross section

The scope of the present article, motivated by the case of the composite wooden propeller of an airplane, is to deal tentatively with the longitudinal free vibrationproblem of an elastic straight bar with a more general mathematical treatment.In this analysis, we have assigned to the modulus of elasticity, the bar cross section as well as the mass per unit length of the bar an exponential function variation, and then found a general solution, wherein three parameters were considered as the main factors to affect the longitudinal free vibration of the inhomogeneous elastic straight bar with a variable cross section.     

Oscillating laminar fluid flow in a cylindrical elastic pipe of annular cross-section

The coupled elastohydrodynamic problem based on the dynamic equations for a viscous incompressible fluid and for two closed finite-length cylindrical elastic shells, inner and outer, described using the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses is formulated and solved with the corresponding boundary conditions for harmonic variation of the pressure at the inlet and outlet of an elastic annular pipe. From the solution of this problem the flow parameters and the elastic shell displacements are found. The amplitude and phase frequency characteristics and resonant frequencies of the shells are found. The cases of shells simply supported and with fixed ends are considered. The effect of the support mode and the fluid characteristics on the resonant frequencies and the amplitude frequency characteristics of the shells is investigated.
