Elastic state of a plate with a circular plug and a rectilinear thin elastic inclusion

There is considered the problem of the state of stress of an infinite elastic plane with a bonded circular plug and an arbitrarily located thin elastic inclusion under biaxial tension. Conditions of ideal mechanical contact are satisfied on the line separating the materials. By using the complex Kolosov — Muskhelishvili potentials, the problem is reduced to a system of integro-differential equations which is solved numerically by utilization of a mechanical quadrature method. A numerical analysis is given for the solution of the problem of the elastic equilibrium of a plane with a circular hole and an arbitrarily located thin inclusion.     

A Novel Time‐Domain BIEM for Wave Propagation Analysis in Anisotropic Solids With Cracks

Analysis of elastic wave propagation in anisotropic solids with cracks is of particular interest to quantitative non‐destructive testing and fracture mechanics. For this purpose, a novel time‐domain boundary integral equation method (BIEM) is presented in this paper. A finite crack in an unbounded elastic solid of general anisotropy subjected to transient elastic wave loading is considered. Two‐dimensional plane strain or plane stress condition is assumed. The initial‐boundary value problem is formulated as a set of hypersingular time‐domain traction boundary integral equations (BIEs) with the crack‐opening‐displacements (CODs) as unknown quantities. A time‐stepping scheme is developed for solving the hypersingular time‐domain BIEs. The scheme uses the convolution quadrature formula of Lubich [1] for temporal convolution and a Galerkin method for spatial discretization of the BIEs. An important feature of the present time‐domain BIEM is that it uses the Laplace‐domain instead of the more complicated time‐domain Green's functions. Fourier integral representations of Laplace‐domain Green's functions are applied. No special technique is needed in the present time‐domain BIEM for evaluating hypersingular integrals.     

Implementation and computational aspects of a 3D elastic wave modelling by PUFEM

This paper presents an enriched finite element model for three dimensional elastic wave problems, in the frequency domain, capable of containing many wavelengths per nodal spacing. This is achieved by applying the plane wave basis decomposition to the three-dimensional (3D) elastic wave equation and expressing the displacement field as a sum of both pressure (P) and shear (S) plane waves. The implementation of this model in 3D presents a number of issues in comparison to its 2D counterpart, especially regarding how S-waves are used in the basis at each node and how to choose the balance between P and S-waves in the approximation space. Various proposed techniques that could be used for the selection of wave directions in 3D are also summarised and used. The developed elements allow us to relax the traditional requirement which consists to consider many nodal points per wavelength, used with low order polynomial based finite elements, and therefore solve elastic wave problems without refining the mesh of the computational domain at each frequency. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is determined by comparing solutions for selected problems with available analytical models or to high resolution numerical results using conventional finite elements, by considering the effect of the mesh size and the number of enriching 3D plane waves. Both balanced and unbalanced choices of plane wave directions in space on structured mesh grids are investigated for assessing the accuracy and conditioning of this 3D PUFEM model for elastic waves.

Some inverse problems for a viscoelastic medium with a physically non-linear inclusion

A plane finite viscoelastic domain with a physically non-linear inclusion of arbitrary form is considered. The problem of finding those loads which, acting on the outer boundary of the domain, are such that they produce a specified uniform stress—strain state in the inclusion, is solved. Examples, in particular, of the optimal deformation and fracture of the inclusion under creep conditions, are considered.     

Elastic buckling of a thin eccentric circular annulus

The contribution treats the elastic buckling of a thin eccentric circular annulus which is on the inner and on the outer boundaries subjected to uniform and constant pressure or tensile loads. The inner and outer boundary are simply supported. To determine the plane stress state and the critical outer load, all equations are expressed with complex variables in the complex plane (z), and conformally mapped into a new complex plane (ζ). The energy method is used for the determination of a critical outer load at which the buckling process appears.     

Thermal stresses in a cylindrical panel with free ends

Mathematical and Numerical Simulation of Equilibrium of an Elastic Body Reinforced by a Thin Elastic Inclusion

A boundary value problem describing the equilibrium of a two-dimensional linear elastic body with a thin rectilinear elastic inclusion and possible delamination is considered. The stress and strain state of the inclusion is described using the equations of the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. Delamination means the existence of a crack between the inclusion and the elastic matrix. Nonlinear boundary conditions preventing crack face interpenetration are imposed on the crack faces. As a result, problem with an unknown contact domain is obtained. The problem is solved numerically by applying an iterative algorithm based on the domain decomposition method and an Uzawa-type algorithm for solving variational inequalities. Numerical results illustrating the efficiency of the proposed algorithm are presented.     

On one contact problem of plane elasticity theory with partially unknown boundary

Applications of elastic plates weakened with full-strength holes are of great interest in several mechanical constructions (building practice, in mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, aircraft construction, etc). It's proven that in case of infinite domains the minimum of tangential normal stresses (tangential normal moments) maximal values will be obtained on such contours, where these values maintain constant(the full strength holes). The solvability of these problems allow to control stress optimal distribution at the hole boundary via appropriate hole shape selection. The paper addresses a problem of plane elasticity theory for a doubly connected domain S on the plane z = x + iy, which external boundary is an isosceles trapezoid boundary; the internal boundary is required full-strength hole including the origin of coordinates. In the provided work the unknown full-strength contour and stressed state of the body were determined. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Steady state stresses induced in a transversely isotropic elastic solid by a moving dislocation

An unbounded, transversely isotropic, elastic solid, is subjected to a dislocation moving at constant speed. By means of an appropriate coordinate transformation, the transient version of this problem is used to obtain the steady state solution. The solution for the plane stress field is explicit and valid for dislocation speeds which are sub-, tran-, or super-sonic with respect to the material wave speeds. The previously discovered transonic speed at which the Mach head wave was annihilated for the transient problem, is found to be present in the steady state problem also.     

Dynamic (Harmonic) Interfacial Stress Field in a Half-Plane Covered with a Prestretched Soft Layer

A half-plane covered with a prestretched layer is considered under the action of a periodic dynamic (harmonic) lineal load applied to the free surface of the layer. Within the framework of a piecewise homegeneous body model, with the use of equations of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies, the problem of stress state is formulated. It is assumed that the materials of the layer and half-plane are linearly elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic, and a plane strain state is considered. The corresponding boundary-value problems are solved analyticaly by employing the exponential Fourier transformations. Numerical results are obtained in the case where the elastic modulus of the half-plane material is greater than that of the layer material. It is established that, because of softening of the layer material, the stresses on the interplane increase mainly in the vicinity of the acting force and this increase has a local character. Moreover, it is established that the prestretching of the cover layer decreases the absolute values of these stresses.     

Stressed state of an elastic plane weakened by a narrow slot with partly closed edges

An elastic plane weakened by a narrow rectilinear slot with rounded ends is considered. The plane is compressed by force P at angle a to the slot axis and with force P in the perpendicular direction. Central areas of the slot edges close under the action of compression. Their reaction in relation to the ratio of parameters of the problem has the nature of sticking together or Coulomb friction. The stress-strain state of the system described is studied.Translated from Dinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 4, pp. 25–33, 1985.     

The diffraction of plane elastic waves by a delaminated rigid inclusion when there is smooth contact in the delamination region

A solution of the problem of the diffraction of harmonic elastic waves by a thin rigid strip-like delaminated inclusion in an unbounded elastic medium, in which the conditions for plane deformation are satisfied, is proposed. We mean by a delaminated inclusion an inclusion, one side of which is completely bonded to the elastic medium, while the second does not interact in any way with it, or this interaction is partial. It is assumed that the conditions for smooth contact are satisfied in the delamination region. The method of solution is based on the use of previously constructed discontinuous solutions of the equations describing the vibrations of an elastic medium under plane deformation conditions. The problem therefore reduces to solving a system of three singular integral equations in the unknown stress and strain jumps at the inclusion. An approximate solution of the latter enabled formulae to be obtained that are convenient for numerical realization when investigating the stressed state in the region of the inclusion and its displacements when acted upon by incident waves.     

Some convexity considerations for a two-dimensional traction problem

Summary A rectangular strip, consisting of homogeneous, isotropic, elastic material, is in an equilibrium state of plane stress, due to actions applied to a pair of opposite edges, the remaining pair being traction-free. The convexity of certain cross-sectional measures of stress is established; and a generalized convexity property is also established for one such measure, leading to an explicit decay estimate for the measure in the case of a semi-infinite strip, one end of which is subjected to a self-equilibrated load.     

A three-dimensional inverse problemfor a physically non-linear inhomogeneous medium

A three-dimensional linearly elastic (viscoelastic) domain (finite or infinite) containing a physically non-linear inclusion of arbitrary shape is considered. The possibility of creating a prescribed uniform stress-strain state in the inclusion by a suitable choice of loads on the outer boundary of the domain is considered. A solution is constructed in closed form. Some examples are considered, including, in particular, the case of an ellipsoidal inclusion with the property of non-linear creep.     

Plane problems of stability of composite materials with a finite-size filler

The plane problem of three-dimensional stability is solved for a transversely compressed composite material reinforced with ribbons taking into account the inhomogeneous initial state. An approximate solution of the problems is based on the net method. The effect of the ribbon form factor, the ratio between the elastic moduli of the matrix and filler, and Poisson ratio of the filler on the critical deformation of the material is investigated.

Fundamental solution of a plane problem of elasticity theory for a composite anisotropic medium

The plane problem on the action of an arbitrarily oriented concentrated force, applied at some point of an elastic plane, composed of two different anisotropic half-planes, is considered. By a special choice of a particular solution the problem reduces to a well-known differential equation of the anisotropic theory of elasticity with discontinuous coefficients. The latter reduces, by the method of the integral Fourier transform, to the Riemann boundary value problem. Expressions for the stresses and displacement derivatives at an arbitrary point of the plane are obtained. The application of the obtained results is illustrated on the example of a problem on an elastic linear inclusion (strap).Translated from Dinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 4, pp. 40–45, 1985.     

The reissner-sagoci problem for a multilayer base with a cylindrical cavity

We study the problem of the torsional oscillations of a plane disk-shaped die coupled with the upper boundary of a multilayer elastic base containing a vertical cylindrical cavity whose axis is perpendicular to the interface of the layers. The problem is stated as paired integral equations connected with the Weber integral transforms. To couple the solutions in the layers we use the method of initial parameters, which makes it possible to express the stress-strain state in any layer in terms of the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of second kind, to which the paired equations reduce. We exhibit an algorithm for numerical implementation of the problem. Translated fromDinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 13, 1994, pp. 55–61.     

Calculation of elasticity parameters of a material with defects

Conclusions 1. With the aid of averaging integrals, it is possible to arrive at various approximations for the elastic parameters of a material with microdefects in the form of plane cracks.2. These approximations differ appreciably in the case of high crack concentrations, with the use of a self-consistent field in both the Reiss model and the Voigt model yielding different results.3. In the absence of information about the microdefect structure in a material, the defectiveness parameters must be determined from a macrotest under conditions of a plane state of stress. The expressions derived on this basis will then yield predictions as to changes in the mechanical properties under other conditions of stress and loading.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
