Stress Analysis of Rotating Inhomogeneous Transversely Isotropic Hollow Spheres

An approach is proposed to the stress–strain analysis of hollow, arbitrarily inhomogeneous, transversely isotropic, either closed or open spheres that rotate about the axis of symmetry with a constant angular velocity. The stress problem for a rotating single-layer sphere and a segment of a sphere is solved as an example. The distribution of radial stresses and displacements along the radius of the sphere is analyzed depending on thickness variation at arbitrary points of the sphere     

Fully implicit formulation of elastoplastic homogenization problem for two-scale analysis

In this study, using a virtual work equation, a micro-/macro-kinematic relation and a linearized constitutive relation, a boundary value problem is fully implicitly formulated to determine perturbed displacement increment fields in elastoplastic unit cells for two-scale analysis. It is shown that this implicit homogenization problem can be iteratively solved with quadratic convergences by successively updating strain increment fields in unit cells, and that the boundary value problem formulated provides a computational algorithm which is versatile for initial setting of strain increment fields. The computational algorithm developed is then examined by performing a two-scale analysis of a holed plate with an elastoplastic micro-structure, subjected to tensile loading. This demonstrates that the convergence in iteratively solving the implicit homogenization problem strongly depends on the initial setting of strain increment fields in unit cells.     

Exact Electromagnetothermoelastic Solution for a Transversely Isotropic Piezoelectric Hollow Sphere Subjected to Arbitrary Thermal Shock

This paper presents analytical study for electromagnetothermoelastic transient behavior of a transversely isotropic hollow sphere, placed in a uniform magnetic field, subjected to arbitrary thermal shock. Exact solutions for the transient responses of stresses, perturbation of magnetic field vector, electric displacement and electric potential in the transversely isotropic piezoelectric hollow sphere are obtained by means of the Hankel transform, the Laplace transform and their inverse transforms. An interpolation method is used to solve the Volterra integral equation of the second kind caused by interactions among electric, magnetic, thermal and elastic fields. From the sample numerical calculations, it is seen that the present method is suitable for the transversely isotropic hollow sphere, placed in a uniform magnetic field, subjected to arbitrary thermal shock. Finally, the result can be used as a reference to solve other transient coupling problems of electromagnetothermoelasticity.     

Magnetothermoelastic stress and perturbation of magnetic field vector in a functionally graded hollow sphere

In this article, a closed-form solution for one-dimensional magnetothermoelastic problem in a functionally graded material (FGM) hollow sphere placed in uniform magnetic and temperature fields subjected to an internal pressure is obtained using the infinitesimal theory of magnetothermoelasticity. Hyper-geometric functions are employed to solve the governing equation. The material properties through the graded direction are assumed to be nonlinear with an exponential distribution. The nonhomogeneity of the material in the radial direction is assumed to be exponential. The temperature, displacement and stress fields and the perturbation of magnetic field vector are determined and compared with those of the homogeneous case. Hence, the effect of inhomogeneity on the stresses and the perturbation of magnetic field vector distribution are demonstrated. The results of this study are applicable for designing optimum FGM hollow spheres.     

Transient heat conduction in two-dimensional functionally graded hollow cylinder with finite length

In this paper a thick hollow cylinder with finite length made of two dimensional functionally graded material (2D-FGM) subjected to transient thermal boundary conditions is considered. The volume fraction distribution of materials, geometry and thermal boundary conditions are assumed to be axisymmetric but not uniform along the axial direction. The finite element method with graded material properties within each element is used to model the structure and the Crank–Nicolson finite difference method is implemented to solve time dependent equations of the heat transfer problem. Two-dimensional heat conduction in the cylinder is considered and variation of temperature with time as well as temperature distribution through the cylinder are investigated. Effects of variation of material distribution in two radial and axial directions on the temperature distribution and time response are studied. The achieved results show that using two-dimensional FGM leads to a more flexible design so that transient temperature, maximum amplitude and uniformity of temperature distributions can be modified to achieve required specifications by selecting a suitable material distribution profile in two directions.     

Finite elastoplastic deformation of an internally pressurized hollow sphere

This paper considers large elastoplastic deformations of an internally pressurized hollow sphere of dilatant soil. A complete analytical solution for the expansion of a hollow sphere is developed. The soil is modelled as an elastic-perfectly plastic material obeying the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion. A non-associated plastic flow rule is used and therefore the dilation of the material is fully taken into account. Closed form solutions are obtained for the stresses and the elastic-plastic deformations of arbitrary magnitude when a hollow sphere of soil is subjected to constant external pressure and monotonically increasing internal pressure. A selection of numerical results is presented to indicate the effects of various key parameters

Nonaxisymmetric Thermoelastoplastic Analysis of Branched Shells of Revolution by the Semianalytic Finite-Element Method

A technique is proposed to solve elastoplastic deformation problems for branched shells of revolution under the action of asymmetric forces and a temperature field. The kinematic equations are derived within the framework of the linear Kirchhoff–Love theory of shells and the thermoelastic relations within the framework of the theory of small elastoplastic strains. The problem is given a variational formulation based on the virtual-displacement principle and the Fourier-series expansion of the unknown functions and loads with respect to the circumferential coordinate. The additional-load method is used to solve a nonlinear problem and the finite-elements method is used to carry out a numerical analysis. As an example, an asymmetric stress–strain analysis is performed for a cylindrical shell reinforced by a ring plate.

Thermo-electro-elastic transient responses in piezoelectric hollow structures

The paper presents an analytical method to solve thermo-electro-elastic transient response in piezoelectric hollow structures subjected to arbitrary thermal shock, sudden mechanical load and electric excitation. Volterra integral equation of the second kind caused by interaction between elastic deformation and electric field is solved by using an interpolation method. Thus, the exact expressions for the transient responses of displacement, stresses, electric displacement and electric potential in the piezoelectric hollow structures are obtained by means of Hankel transform, Laplace transform, and their inverse transforms. In Section 2, based on spherical coordinates, the governing equation of thermo-electro-elastic transient responses in a piezoelectric hollow sphere is found and the associated numerical results are carried out. In Section 3, based on cylindrical coordinates, the governing equation of thermo-electro-elastic transient responses in a non-homogeneous piezoelectric hollow cylinder is found and the corresponding numerical results are carried out. The results carried out may be used as a reference to solve other transient coupled problems of thermo-electro-elasticity in piezoelectric structures.

Determination of the thermal stress wave propagation in orthotropic hollow cylinder based on classical theory of thermoelasticity

The thermoelasticity problem in a thick-walled orthotropic hollow cylinder is solved analytically using finite Hankel transform and Laplace transform. Time-dependent thermal and mechanical boundary conditions are applied on the inner and the outer surfaces of the cylinder. For solving the energy equation, the temperature itself is considered as boundary condition to be applied on both the inner and the outer surfaces of the orthotropic cylinder. Two different cases are assumed for solving the equation of motion: traction–traction problem (tractions are prescribed on both the inner and the outer surfaces) and traction–displacement (traction is prescribed on the inner surface and displacement is prescribed on the outer surface of the hollow orthotropic cylinder). Due to considering uncoupled theory, after obtaining temperature distribution, the dynamical structural problem is solved and closed-form relations are derived for radial displacement, radial and hoop stress. As a case study, exponentially decaying temperature with respect to time is prescribed on the inner surface of the cylinder and the temperature of the outer surface is considered to be zero. Owing to solving dynamical problem, the stress wave propagation and its reflections were observed after plotting the results in both cases.

Experimental investigation and modeling of the tension behavior of polycarbonate with temperature effects from low to high strain rates

The effects of strain rate and temperature on the tension stress–strain responses of polycarbonate are experimentally investigated over a wide range of strain rates (0.001–1700 s⁻¹) and temperatures (0–120 °C). A modified split Hopkinson tension bar is used for high-rate uniaxial tension tests. Experimental results indicate that the stress–strain responses of polycarbonate at high strain rates exhibit the nonlinear characteristics including the obvious yielding and strain softening. The tension behavior is strongly dependent on the strain rate and temperature. The values of yield stress and strain at yield present a dramatic increase at higher strain rates and decrease with the increase in temperature. Moreover, there exists a significant rate-sensitivity transition in the polycarbonate tension yield behavior. Based on the experimental investigation, a physically based three-dimensional elastoplastic constitutive model for the finite deformation of glassy polymers is used to characterize the rate-temperature dependent yield and post-yield behavior of polycarbonate when subjected to tension loading. The model results are shown close to the experimental data within the investigated strain-rate and temperature ranges.
