Some Theorems in the Theory of Microstretch Thermomagnetoelectroelasticity

The linear dynamic theory of microstretch thermomagnetoelectroelasticity is studied in this paper.First,a reciprocity relation which involves two processes at different instants is established to form the basis of a uniqueness result and a reciprocal theorem.The proof of the reciprocal theorem avoids both using the Laplace transform and incorporating the initial conditions into the equations of motion.The uniqueness theorem is derived with no definiteness assumption on the elastic constitutive coefficients.Then the continuous dependence theorem is discussed upon two external data systems.Finally,the variational principle of Hamilton type which fully characterizes the solution of the mixed boundary-initial-value problem(mixed problem) is obtained.These theorems lay a solid foundation for further theoretical and numerical studies on microstretch thermomagnetoelectroelastic materials.

Generalized reciprocal theorems and their applications

Generalized reciprocal theorems of non-coupled and coupled systems, which are valid for two deformed bodies with different constitutive relations are established by generalizing the idea of Betti's reciprocal theorem. When the consitutive relations of the two deformed bodies are all alike and linear elastic, the generalized reciprocal theorem of non-coupled systems just becomes Betti's. Meanwhile, the generalized reciprocal theorems are applied to simulate calculations in elasticity.

Conservation laws in linear elastodynamics

Noether's theorem on variational principles invariant under a group of infinitesimal transformations is used to obtain a class of conservation laws associated with linear elastodynamics. These laws represent dynamical generalizations of certain path-independent integrals in elastostatics which have been of considerable recent interest. It is shown that the conservation laws obtained here are the only ones obtainable by Noether's theorem from invariance under a reasonably general group of infinitesimal transformations.     

some general theorems and generalized and piecewise generalized variational principles for linear elastodynamics

From the concept of four-dimensional space and under the four kinds of time limit conditions, some general theorems for elastodynamics are developed, such as the principle of possible work action, the virtual displacement principle, the virtual stress-momentum principle, the reciprocal theorems and the related theorems of time terminal conditions derived from it. The variational principles of potential energy action and complementary energy action, the H-W principles, the H-R principles and the constitutive variational principles for elastodynamics are obtained. Hamilton's principle, Toupin's work and the formulations of Ref. [5], [17]-[24] may be regarded as some special cases of the general principles given in the paper. By considering three cases: piecewise space-time domain, piecewise space domain, piecewise time domain, the piecewise variational principles including the potential, the complementary and the mixed energy action fashions are given. Finally, the general formulation of piecewise variati     

Energy theorems and the J-integral in dipolar gradient elasticity

Within the framework of Mindlin’s dipolar gradient elasticity, general energy theorems are proved in this work. These are the theorem of minimum potential energy, the theorem of minimum complementary potential energy, a variational principle analogous to that of the Hellinger–Reissner principle in classical theory, two theorems analogous to those of Castigliano and Engesser in classical theory, a uniqueness theorem of the Kirchhoff–Neumann type, and a reciprocal theorem. These results can be of importance to computational methods for analyzing practical problems. In addition, the J-integral of fracture mechanics is derived within the same framework. The new form of the J-integral is identified with the energy release rate at the tip of a growing crack and its path-independence is proved.The theory of dipolar gradient elasticity derives from considerations of microstructure in elastic continua [Mindlin, R.D., 1964. Microstructure in linear elasticity. Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 16, 51–78] and is appropriate to model materials with periodic structure. According to this theory, the strain-energy density assumes the form of a positive-definite function of the strain (as in classical elasticity) and the second gradient of the displacement (additional term). Specific cases of the general theory considered here are the well-known theory of couple-stress elasticity and the recently popularized theory of strain-gradient elasticity. The latter case is also treated in the present study.     

Conservation laws in elasticity

In this paper the basic results involved in the application of Noether's theorem relating symmetry groups and conservation laws to the variational problems of homogeneous elastostatics are outlined. General methods and conditions for the existence of variational and generalized symmetries are presented. Applications will be considered in subsequent papers in this series.The research reported here was supported in part by the U. S. National Science Foundation, Grant NSF MCS 81-00786.     

Representation Theorems for Hemitropic and Tranversely Isotropic Tensor Functions

A representation theorem for transversely isotropic tensor-valued functions of a symmetric tensor variable is proved. The theorem holds in any finite dimension. The proof is based on the decomposition of a symmetric tensor of dimension N into a scalar, a vector, and a symmetric tensor of dimension N-1, and on the fact that the transverse isotropy of the original function is equivalent to the hemitropy of three functions, one scalar-valued, one vector-valued, and one tensor-valued, of the last two terms in the decomposition. Representation theorems for the three functions are obtained as generalizations of two theorems of W. Noll on isotropic functions. The proofs make use of an appropriate algebraic structure based on alternating forms. The three-dimensional case, as well as those of linear and of hyperelastic functions, are treated as special cases. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Uniform persistence and flows near a closed positively invariant set

In this paper, the behavior of a continuous flow in the vicinity of a closed positively invariant subset in a metric space is investigated. The main theorem in this part in some sense generalizes previous results concerning classification of the flow near a compact invariant set in a locally compact metric space which was described by Ura-Kimura (1960) and Bhatia (1969). By applying the obtained main theorem, we are able to prove two persistence theorems. In the first one, several equivalent statements are established, which unify and generalize earlier results based on Liapunov-like functions and those about the equivalence of weak uniform persistence and uniform persistence. The second theorem generalizes the classical uniform persistence theorems based on analysis of the flow on the boundary by relaxing point dissipativity and invariance of the boundary. Several examples are given which show that our theorems will apply to a wider varity of ecological models.     

Explicit solutions of the problems of elastostatics for an elastic circle with double porosity

In this paper the Aifantis linear theory of consolidation with double porosity is considered. The boundary value problems (BVPs) of elastostatics for an elastic circle are formulated and the uniqueness theorems for regular (classical) solutions are proved. The explicit solutions of these BVPs are constructed by means of absolutely and uniformly convergent series.     

International conference on role of fracture mechanics in modern technology : Fukuoka, Japan, June 2–6, 1986

An infinite elastic plane containing two straight cracks of arbitrary length and location is analyzed within the framework of elastostatics. The mathematical formulation is based on the stress solution for a single crack and leads to a system of singular integral equations that govern the crack surface displacement densities. The solution series in terms of the reciprocal of the crack centre distance is not suitable for cracks that are spaced too closely. It is shown by way of examples that the method of asymptotic solution is convenient for developing approximation expressions of the stress and displacement field with certain characteristics. The formulas for the stress intensity factors and crack opening are given for the case of a constant tensile load. Graphical results are given for the variations of the stress intensity factors with parameters depending on the relative positions of the cracks.

Some classical theorems in fracture theory

It is shown that the basic theorems of linear elastostatics may be claimed for an elastic cracked body, under mild assumptions on the behaviour of the displacement at the internal tip of the crack.     

A Note on Uniqueness in Linear Elastostatics

We obtain a uniqueness theorem for linear elastostatics, for a homogeneous isotropic body, under the condition of strong ellipticity, in the case of “mixed–mixed” boundary conditions. The theorem applies to bodies of restricted local concavity and convexity. Some example domains are illustrated.      

Transition Matrix Method for Determining Stress Distribution of an Inhomogeneity in Elastostatic Medium

The transition matrix method has been extensively utilized to solve scattering in elastodynamic media. It is based on the reciprocity theorem, continuity of the interface boundary conditions, and applicable to arbitrary shape of inhomogeneity in systematic matrix multiplication. However, the transition matrix method has never been applied to determine stress distribution in elastostatic media. One important reason is the problem of the shortage of the basis functions of the elastostatic media that must be used to develop the transition matrix. This study investigates the required basis functions, and finds a set thereof that include Love??s special solutions of three dimensional elastostatics and three vector functions that are applicable to elastic waves. The proposed basis functions also can be adopted to derive the three significant orthogonality conditions for reciprocity at the surface of the inhomogeneity, which are useful in developing the transition matrix. The novel basis functions make the process of derivation of the T-matrix in elastostatics similar to that in elastodynamics. This process is illustrated for a spherical inhomogeneity that embedded in an elastic medium and stress patterns are compared with Goodier??s solutions, demonstrating high accuracy.     

New power law inequalities for fractional derivative and stability analysis of fractional order systems

Three new power law inequalities for fractional derivative are proposed in this paper. We generalize the original useful power law inequality, which plays an important role in the stability analysis of pseudo state of fractional order systems. Moreover, three stability theorems of fractional order systems are given in this paper. The stability problem of fractional order linear systems can be converted into the stability problem of the corresponding integer order systems. For the fractional order nonlinear systems, a sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee the stability of the true state. The stability relation between pseudo state and true state is given in the last theorem by the final value theorem of Laplace transform. Finally, two examples and numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the proposed theorems.
