Scaling of structures subject to impact loads when using a power law constitutive equation

It is well known that structures subjected to dynamic loads do not follow the usual similarity laws when the material is strain rate sensitive. As a consequence, it is not possible to use a scaled model to predict the prototype behaviour. In the present study, this problem is overcome by changing the impact velocity so that the model behaves exactly as the prototype. This exact solution is generated thanks to the use of an exponential constitutive law to infer the dynamic flow stress. Furthermore, it is shown that the adopted procedure does not rely on any previous knowledge of the structure response. Three analytical models are used to analyze the performance of the technique. It is shown that perfect similarity is achieved, regardless of the magnitude of the scaling factor. For the class of material used, the solution outlined has long been sought, inasmuch as it allows perfect similarity for strain rate sensitive structures subject to impact loads.     

Magnetothermoelastic transient response of a functionally graded thick hollow sphere subjected to magnetic and thermoelastic fields

In this article, an analytical method is developed to obtain the response of magnetothermoelastic stress and perturbation of the magnetic field vector for a thick-walled spherical functionally graded materials (FGM) vessel. The vessel, which is placed in a uniform magnetic field, is subjected to an internal pressure and transient temperature gradient. Using the Hankel and Laplace transform techniques, the dynamic equation of magnetothermoelastic is solved and the radial and circumferential stresses as well as the perturbation of the magnetic field vector for a typical material are obtained. Moreover, the effect of magnetic field vector and material inhomogeneity on the stresses is investigated.     

Thermo-elastic behavior of a polymeric layer bonded between rigid interfaces

A highly expandable polymeric material have been combined with a stiff skeleton material to form a powerful design of thermal micro-actuators. The bond interfaces with the skeleton laterally restrain deformation of the polymer and consequently direct its volumetric expansion in the transverse direction. A complete lateral constraint at the infinite bond width could maximize the apparent thermal strain of the bonded polymer. However, it is not sure how much strain enhancement can be achieved using a finite bond width. To answer this, we resort to an approximate thermo-elastic model and solve it using the mean-pressure method. This model leads to closed-form solutions to the thermally induced strains and stresses in a bonded polymer layer between rigid interfaces. The closed-form solution shows that the apparent strain of a bonded layer depends on the aspect ratio of the bond width to the layer thickness, besides Poisson’s ratio. Furthermore, it further shows that a bond width five times the thickness of the SU-8 epoxy layer is sufficient to attain 95% of the maximum apparent strain, which is obtained at the infinite width.     

A Magnetoelastic Field in a Ferromagnetic with an Elliptic Inclusion

A stress–strain problem is solved for an infinite isotropic magnetically soft body containing an elliptic inclusion. It is assumed that the body is in an external magnetic field. The basic characteristics of the stress–strain state and the induced magnetic field are determined and their features at the inclusion are analyzed. Graphs are drawn for the total magnetoelastic and Maxwell stresses versus the ratio of the ellipse axes and the angle of dip, and tabular maximum stresses versus the magnetic induction and the magnetic properties of the material.

Measurements of thermally induced stress waves in a thin rod using birefringent coatings

When an elastic body is heated rapidly, significant inertial stresses are developed if the imposed heating rates cause a substantial temperature change in times which are short relative to the mechanical response time of the body. This work describes a method for inducing and measuring the thermally induced elastic stress waves in an unrestrained thin rod. Rapid heating was accomplished electrically by discharging a low-inductance capacitor bank (0.1 μH, 2800 J) through the rod. Utilizing the frozen-stress technique, an initial fringe pattern was introduced into thin strips of a birefringent material securely bonded to each side of the rod. The longitudinal strain oscillations were measured by direct observation of the movement of the fringe patterns with a high-speed framing camera. Interpretation of these measurements required a dynamic calibration and application of a dynamic correction factor for the reinforcing effect of the coating. Oscillations with periods from 35 to 250 μsec and stress amplitudes up to 900 psi were measured and compared with the uncoupled thermoelastic theory. Good agreement was obtained, and it was concluded that this technique is suitable for transient measurements in the presence of large magnetic fields which normally restrict the use of electronic methods.     

Improved theoretical solution for interfacial stresses in concrete beams strengthened with FRP plate

In this paper, an improved theoretical interfacial stress analysis is presented for simply supported concrete beam bonded with a FRP plate. The adherend shear deformations have been included in the present theoretical analyses by assuming a linear shear stress through the thickness of the adherends, while all existing solutions neglect this effect. Remarkable effect of shear deformations of adherends has been noted in the results. Indeed, the resulting interfacial stresses concentrations are considerably smaller than those obtained by other models which neglect adherent shear deformations. It is shown that both the normal and shear stresses at the interface are influenced by the material and geometry parameters of the composite beam. This research is helpful for the understanding on mechanical behavior of the interface and design of the FRP–RC hybrid structures.     

The Force on a Dislocation Near a Weakly Bonded Interface

The physical system being studied here is an elastic dislocation in proximity to a material interface which has limited strength in shear. The configuration is relevant to elastic strain relaxation in bonded thin-film semiconductor material structures. A plane strain boundary value problem is formulated and an exact solution for the force on the dislocation versus distance from the interface is obtained. If the dislocation is close enough to the interface, its stress field causes irreversible slip across the interface. This slip, in turn, induces an attractive force on the dislocation. For the case of an edge dislocation with Burgers vector normal to the interface, it is found that the dislocation has a stable equilibrium position at a small distance from the interface. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Determination of thermal-expansion characteristics of metals using strain gages

A method has been developed to measure thermal-expansion characteristics of metals using bonded resistance strain gages. The method allows rapid and accurate determination of expansion properties at similar or lower cost (depending on the particular application) than conventional dilatometric techniques. Other advantages include elimination of a need for perfectly flat sample material, elimination of specimen machining, and applicability to structures and components. To utilize this technique, the ‘apparent strain’ of the gage is determined by attaching it to a ‘standard’ material for which the thermal-expansion characteristics are accurately known and subtracting the known thermal response of the material from the total gage output. ‘Apparent strain’ is therefore the temperature-induced output of the gage when bonded to a material having a thermal-expansion coefficient of zero. When the gage is then attached to a test material and cycled through the same temperature range, this ‘apparent strain’ is subtracted from the total gage output to obtain the actual unit-length change of the test material. Using this technique, mean-expansion coefficients of experimental alloys were determined over the temperature range ?320°F (?196°C) to room temperature.     

Magneto-thermo-elastic stresses induced by a transient magnetic field in a conducting solid circular cylinder

In the present paper, dynamic and quasi-static behaviors of magneto-thermo-elastic stresses induced by a transient magnetic field in a conducting solid circular cylinder are investigated. It is assumed that a transient magnetic field which is defined by an arbitrary function of time acts on the surface of the solid cylinder in the direction parallel to its surface. Fundamental equations of plane axisymmetrical electromagnetic, temperature, and elastic fields are formulated. Then, solutions of magnetic field, eddy current, temperature change and both dynamic solutions and quasi-static ones of stresses and deformations are analytically derived in the forms including the arbitrary function. The solutions of stresses are determined to be sums of thermal stress caused by eddy current loss and magnetic stress caused by Lorentz force. For this case that the arbitrary function is given by the smoothed ramp function with sine function, the dynamic and quasi-static behaviors of the stresses are examined by numerical calculations.     

Dynamic Experiments using Simultaneous Compression and Shear Loading

Material characterization at high strain rates under simultaneous compression and shear loading has been a challenge due to the differing normal and shear wave speeds. An experimental technique utilizing the compression Kolsky bar apparatus was developed to apply dynamic compression and shear loading on a specimen nearly simultaneously. Synchronization between the compression and shear loading was realized by generating the torsion wave near the specimen which minimizes the time difference between the arrival of the compression and torsion waves. This modified Kolsky bar makes it possible to characterize the dynamic response of a material to combined compression and shear impact loading. This method can also be applied to study dynamic friction behavior across an interface under controlled loading conditions. The feasibility of this method is demonstrated in the dynamic characterization of a simulant polymer bonded explosive material.

Effect of magnetic field on poroelastic bone model for internal remodeling

This paper studies the effects of the magnetic field and the porosity on a poroelastic bone model for internal remodeling. The solution of the internal bone remodeling process induced by a magnetic field is presented. The bone is treated as a poroelastic material by Biot’s formulation. Based on the theory of small strain adaptive elasticity, a theoretical approach for the internal remodeling is proposed. The components of the stresses, the displacements, and the rate of internal remodeling are obtained in analytical forms, and the numerical results are represented graphically. The results indicate that the effects of the magnetic field and the porosity on the rate of internal remodeling in bone are very pronounced.

Bond stresses for both rectangular and triangular arrays have been calculated using either boundary point matching or boundary point least squares techniques. Numerical results based on a plane strain analysis are given in graphical form.     

DYNAMIC BEHAVIORS OF CONDUCTIVE CIRCULAR PLATE IN TIME-VARYING MAGNETIC FIELDS

In this study, we proposed an analytical solution for eddy currents as well as electromagnetic forces of a conductive circular plate in a time varying magnetic field. Specifically, an analytical series solution for eddy currents in a circular plate subjected to an axisymmetrie time varying magnetic field has been proposed based on the T-method that has been widely used in the eddy current analysis of conductive and superconductive structures. Accordingly, the dynamic response, the dynamic instability and the magnetic damping of a circular plate in a transverse transient magnetic field as well as a stationary in-plane magnetic field have also been obtained. The analytical series solution proposed in this work as well as the subsequent numerical analysis not only confirmed the emergence of dynamic instability of a circular plate in a strong transverse magnetic field, but also demonstrated the existence of magneto-damping of a circular conductive plate in an in-plane magnetic field. The method developed in this paper provides a potential new possible way by which the analysis of the electromagnetic coupling problems of conductive structures can be simplified.
