On magnetoelastic problems of a plane with an arbitrarily shaped hole under stress and displacement boundary conditions

An analytical method for the static plane problem of magnetoelasticityis developed for an infinite plane containing a hole of arbitraryshape under stress and displacement boundary conditions in aprimary uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field influencesthe elastic field by introducing a body force called the Lorentzponderomotive force in the equilibrium equations. The body forcecan be further described in a form relating with the electromagneticstress tensor. The complex variable method in conjunction withthe rational mapping function technique is used in the analysisfor both magnetic field and mechanical field. Governing equationsand boundary conditions are expressed in terms of complex functions.Complex magnetic potential and stress functions are obtainedusing Cauchy integrals for the paramagnetic and soft ferromagneticmaterials, respectively. The distributions of magnetic fieldand the stress components are shown for certain directions ofprimary magnetic fields in an infinite plane with a square hole,as an example. It is found that the stress distributions forthe two types of materials are identical despite the differenceof magnetic fields. The extreme cases of a free and a fixedhole reduced to a crack and a rigid fibre, respectively, arealso investigated. The stress intensity factors at the tipsof crack and rigid fibre are computed, and their variation forcertain directions of primary magnetic field is shown.     

Fundamental elastic field in an infinite plane of two-dimensional piezoelectric quasicrystal subjected to multi-physics loads

By utilizing the extended Stroh formalism, the Green's function of infinite plane is obtained for the problem of two-dimensional decagonal quasicrystals with the piezoelectric effect subjected to multi-physics loads. By numerical computations, the piezoelectric effect of the two-dimensional decagonal quasicrystals is revealed; the changes of the stress and displacement fields with multi-physics loads are discussed. The variation laws of material constants in stress and displacement fields are investigated. The results show that the effect of the phason field on the generalized displacement is larger than that on the generalized stress; and the effects of material parameters are different in diverse field.

Global regularity of the elastic fields of a power‐law model on Lipschitz domains

In this paper, we study the global regularity of the displacement and stress fields of a nonlinear elastic model of power‐law type. It is assumed that the underlying domains are Lipschitz domains which satisfy an additional geometric condition near those points, where the type of the boundary conditions changes. The proof of the global regularity result relies on a difference quotient technique. Finally, a global regularity result for the stress fields of the elastic, perfect plastic Hencky model is derived. This model appears as a limit model of the power‐law model. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Axisymmetric buckling of a spherical shell embedded in an elastic medium under uniaxial stress at infinity

The problem of a thin spherical linearly elastic shell perfectlybonded to an infinite linearly elastic medium is considered.A constant axisymmetric stress field is applied at infinityin the matrix, and the displacement and stress fields in theshell and matrix are evaluated by means of harmonic potentialfunctions. In order to examine the stability of this solution,the buckling problem of a shell which experiences this deformationis considered. Using Koiter's nonlinear shallow shell theory,restricting buckling patterns to those which are axisymmetricand using the Rayleigh–Ritz method by expanding the bucklingpatterns in an infinite series of Legendre functions, an eigenvalueproblem for the coefficients in the infinite series is determined.This system is truncated and solved numerically in order toanalyse the behaviour of the shell as it undergoes bucklingand to identify the critical buckling stress in two cases, namely,where the shell is hollow and the stress at infinity is eitheruniaxial or radial.

Analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar cracks in two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with thermal effects. Part I: Theoretical solutions

An extended displacement discontinuity (EDD) boundary integral equation method is proposed for analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar cracks in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal quasicrystals (QCs) with thermal effects. The EDDs include the phonon and phason displacement discontinuities and the temperature discontinuity on the crack surface. Green's functions for unit point EDDs in an infinite three-dimensional medium of 2D hexagonal QC are derived using the Hankel transform method. Based on the Green's functions and the superposition theorem, the EDD boundary integral equations for an arbitrarily shaped planar crack in an infinite 2D hexagonal QC body are established. Using the EDD boundary integral equation method, the asymptotic behavior along the crack front is studied and the classical singular index of 1/2 is obtained at the crack edge. The extended stress intensity factors are expressed in terms of the EDDs across crack surfaces. Finally, the energy release rate is obtained using the definitions of the stress intensity factors.     

Micromechanical analysis of the stress transfer in single-fiber composite: The influence of the uniform and graded interphase with finite-thickness

A theoretical model is developed to analyze the stress transfer between fiber and matrix through the interphase with finite thickness. The Young's modulus of interphase is assumed to be homogeneous uniform or power-graded along radial direction while other material parameters are constants. The bonds between fiber and interphase as well as between interphase and matrix are perfect. The geometrical equations are strictly satisfied except that the radial displacement gradient with respect to the axial direction is neglected, as its magnitude is much smaller than that of the axial displacement gradient with respect to the radial direction. The equilibrium equations along radial direction are strictly satisfied, while the equilibrium equations along axial direction are satisfied in the integral forms. In addition, both the interfacial displacement and stress continuity conditions as well as stress boundary conditions are enforced exactly. Two coupled 2nd-order ordinary differential equations can be obtained in terms of average axial stresses in fiber and matrix. Finite element analysis (FEA) with refined mesh for single-fiber composite containing uniform interphase with finite thickness is developed to validate the present model. Series of parameter studies are performed to investigate the influence of interphase properties and thickness as well as the fiber volume content and model length on the stress distribution in composites.     

Volume integral equations of the scattering problem of poroelasticity and their properties

Scattering of monochromatic waves on an isolated inhomogeneity (inclusion) in an infinite poroelastic medium is considered. Wave propagation in the medium and the inclusion are described by Biot's equations of poroelasticity. The problem is reduced to 3D‐integro‐differential equations for displacement and pressure fields in the region occupied by the inclusion. Properties of the integral operators in these equations are studied. Discontinuities of the fields on the inclusion boundary are indicated. The case of a thin inclusion with low permeability is considered. The corresponding scattering problem is reduced to a 2D integral equation on the middle surface of the inclusion. The unknown function in this equation is the pressure jump in the transverse direction to the inclusion middle surface. An inclusion with a thin layer of low permeability on its interface is considered. The appropriate boundary conditions on the inclusion interface are pointed out. Methods of numerical solution of the volume integral equations of the scattering problems of poroelasticity are discussed.     

An asymptotic approach to analysis of 3D beam stress-strain elastic states

A regular asymptotic approach to analysis of 3D beam stress–strain states is proposed based on the linear theory of elasticity and the method of integrodifferential relations. Using the integral formulation of Hooke's law and polynomial expansions of unknown stress and displacement functions with respect to transversal Cartesian coordinates the initial system of partial differential equations is reduced to a countable system of ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients. For rectilinear beams with rectangular cross–sections the consistent boundary value problems describing independently the compression and stretch, bends, and torsion states are derived. To find equilibrium stress and admissible displacement fields satisfying boundary conditions an effective numerical algorithm is worked out. Integral and local criteria for explicit bilateral estimates of resulted solution quality are proposed. The numerical results are presented and discussed. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Stress analysis of orthotropic planes weakened by cracks

The stress fields in an orthotropic infinite plane containing Volterra type climb and glide edge dislocations are derived. The dislocation solutions are utilized to formulate integral equations for dislocation density functions on the surfaces of smooth cracks. The integral equations are of Cauchy singular type and are solved for several different cases of crack configurations and arrangements. The results are used to evaluate modes I and II stress intensity factors for multiple smooth cracks.

Semiclassical analysis of the Schrödinger equation with a partially confining potential

The semiclassical limit of a partially confined electron gas is performed. The length scale in the confined direction is of the order of magnitude of the electron de Broglie length whereas the nonconfined lengthscale is larger. A partial semiclassical limit of the Schrödinger equation (in the nonconfined direction) is performed and leads to the so-called subband model. The limiting behaviour is described by an infinite number of quasistatic Schrödinger equations for the confined direction and an infinite number of time-dependent Vlasov equations in the nonconfined direction.

General solutions of three-dimensional problems for two-dimensional quasicrystals

Three-dimensional problems are systematically investigated for the coupled equations in two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals, and two new general solutions, which are called generalized Lekhnitskii–Hu–Nowacki (LHN) solutions and generalized Elliott–Lodge (E–L) solutions, are presented, respectively. By introducing two higher-order displacement functions, an operator analysis technique is applied in a novel way to obtain generalized LHN solutions. For further simplification, a decomposition and superposition procedure is taken to replace the higher-order displacement functions with five quasi-harmonic displacement functions, and then generalized E–L solutions are simplified in terms of these functions. In consideration of different cases of characteristic roots, generalized E–L solutions take different forms, but all are in simple forms that are conveniently applied. To illustrate the application of the general solutions obtained, the closed form solution is obtained for an infinite quasicrystal medium subjected to a point force at an arbitrary point.     

Variational Approaches in the Beam Theory

Equations governing the stress-strain state of an elastic beam are derived on the basis of the method of the integro-differential relations (IDR). The influence of Poisson's ratio and shear modulus on the stiffness characteristics of an elastic beam with a rectangular cross section is investigated. Explicit expressions are obtained for the stress fields in an isotropic or anisotropic beam for an arbitrary type of loading. A system of differential equations for displacement fields in these beams is presented. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Homogenizing the acoustic properties of a porous matrix containing an incompressible inviscid fluid

We undertake a rigorous derivation of the Biot's law for a porous elastic solid containing an inviscid fluid. We consider small displacements of a linear elastic solid being itself a connected periodic skeleton containing a pore structure of the characteristic size ε. It is completely saturated by an incompressible inviscid fluid. The model is described by the equations of the linear elasticity coupled with the linearized incompressible Euler system. We study the homogenization limit when the pore size εtends to zero. The main difficulty is obtaining an a priori estimate for the gradient of the fluid velocity in the pore structure. Under the assumption that the solid part is connected and using results on the first order elliptic systems, we obtain the required estimate. It allows us to apply appropriate results from the 2‐scale convergence. Then it is proved that the microscopic displacements and the fluid pressure converge in 2‐scales towards a linear hyperbolic system for an effective displacement and an effective pressure field. Using correctors, we also give a strong convergence result. The obtained system is then compared with the Biot's law. It is found that there is a constitutive relation linking the effective pressure with the divergences of the effective fluid and solid displacements. Then we prove that the homogenized model coincides with the Biot's equations but with the added mass ρ_a being a matrix, which is calculated through an auxiliary problem in the periodic cell for the tortuosity. Furthermore, we get formulas for the matricial coefficients in the Biot's effective stress–strain relations. Finally, we consider the degenerate case when the fluid part is not connected and obtain Biot's model with the relative fluid displacement equal to zero.

Scattering of Longitudinal Shear Waves on Two Tunnel Cavities in an Anisotropic Mass of an Orthorhombic System

The initial boundary value problem is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations by superposition of series in terms of basis systems of particular solutions for the generalized metaharmonic equations in local cylindrical coordinates coupled to the center of the cavity cross sections. Some numerical examples are used to estimate the effect on the dynamic stress fields owing to the relative incident wavelength, the degree of shear anisotropy of the mass, and the relative distance between the cavities.
