Three-dimensional Green’s functions for transversely isotropic thermoelastic bimaterials

Green’s functions for transversely isotropic thermoelastic biomaterials are established in the paper. We first express the compact general solutions of transversely isotropic thermoelastic material in terms of harmonic functions and introduce six new harmonic functions. The three-dimensional Green’s function having a concentrated heat source in steady state is completely solved using these new harmonic functions. The analytical results show some new phenomena of temperature and stress distributions at the interface. The temperature contours are normal to the interface for the isotropic material but not for the orthotropic one. The normal stress contours are parallel to the interface at the boundary in the isotropic region only and shear failure is most likely at the heat source due to the highly degenerated direction of shear stress contours.     

A point heat source on the apex of a transversely isotropic piezothermoelastic cone

We use the compact harmonic general solutions of transversely isotropic piezothermoelastic materials to construct the three-dimensional solutions of a steady point heat source on the apex of a transversely isotropic piezothermoelastic cone by four newly introduced harmonic functions. All components of coupled field are expressed in terms of elementary functions and are convenient to use. When the apex angle 2α equals to π, the solutions reduce to those of the semi-infinite body problem, which is called Green's function. Numerical results are given graphically by contours.     

Rolling without Slip on a Transversely Isotropic Thermoelastic Half-space

Rolling without slip by a rigid cylinder on a transversely isotropic, coupled thermoelastic half-space at constant subcritical speed is studied. The cylinder is of infinite length, surface heat convection is neglected, and a dynamic steady state of plane strain is treated. The unmixed problem of traction applied to a translating surface strip is addressed first. A robust asymptotic form of the exact transform solution, valid when Fourier heat conduction dominates any thermal relaxation effect, is extracted, and inverted analytically. Use of material characterization and identification of parameters that vanish in the isotropic limit or are invariant under an isothermal–thermoelastic transformation result in compact full-field solutions. These expressions are used to construct analytical solutions that satisfy the mixed boundary value problem and auxiliary conditions of rolling contact. For the hexagonal material zinc, calculations are made for contact zone width and temperature increases near onset of zone yield.

Three-dimensional quasi-static Green's function for an infinite transversely isotropic pyroelectric material under a step point heat source

Based on the three-dimensional quasi-static general solution of the transversely isotropic pyroelectric material, the Green's function for an infinite transversely isotropic pyroelectric material under a step point heat source is presented in this paper. Firstly, a suitable function with an undetermined constant is constructed. Secondly, the Green's function can be obtained by substituting this function into the general solution. The undetermined constant can be determined by the heat conservation equation. Finally, the numerical results are shown in form of contours at the different times.

Asymptotic Analysis of Finite Deformation in a Nonlinear Transversely Isotropic Incompressible Hyperelastic Half-space Subjected to a Tensile Point Load

The Boussinesq problem, that is, determining the deformation in a hyperelastic half-space due to a point force normal to the boundary, is an important problem of engineering, geomechanics, and other fields to which elasticity theory is often applied. While linear solutions produce useful Greens functions, they also predict infinite displacements and other physically inconsistent results nearby and at the point of application of the load where the most critical and interesting material behavior occurs. To illuminate the deformation due to such a load in the region of interest, asymptotic analysis of the nonlinear Boussinesq problem has been considered in the context of isotropic hyperelasticity. Studies considering transversely isotropic materials have also been broadly used in the linear theory, but have not been treated within the nonlinear framework. In this paper we extend the nonlinearly elastic isotropic analysis to transverse isotropy, producing a more general theory which also better encompasses applications involving layered media. The governing equations for nonlinearly elastic, transversely isotropic solids are derived, conservation laws of elastostatics are invoked, asymptotic forms of the deformation solutions are hypothesized, and the differential equations governing deformation near the point load are determined. The analysis also develops sequences of simple tests to determine if a transversely isotropic material can possibly sustain a finite deflection under the point load. The results are applied to a variety of transversely isotropic materials, and the effects of the anisotropy considered is demonstrated by comparison of the resulting deformation with similar asymptotic solutions in the isotropic theory.

Dynamic stress intensity factors of two 3D rectangular cracks in a transversely isotropic elastic material under a time-harmonic elastic P-wave

The dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) of two 3D rectangular cracks in a transversely isotropic elastic material under an incident harmonic stress wave are investigated by generalized Almansi’s theorem and the Schmidt method in the present paper. Using 2D Fourier transform and defining the jumps of displacement components across the crack surface as the unknown functions, three pairs of dual integral equations are derived. To solve the dual integral equations, the jumps of the displacement components across the crack surfaces are expanded in a series of Jacobi polynomials. Numerical examples are provided to show the effects of the geometric shape of the rectangular crack, the characteristics of the harmonic wave and the distance between two rectangular cracks on the DSIFs of the transversely isotropic elastic material.     

Thermoelastostatic equilibrium of a spatial quadrant: Green’s function and solution in integrals

In this study, a new Green??s function and a new Green-type integral formula for a 3D boundary value problem (BVP) in thermoelastostatics for a quarter-space are derived in closed form. On the boundary half-planes, twice mixed homogeneous mechanical boundary conditions are given. One boundary half-plane is free of loadings and the normal displacements and the tangential stresses are zero on the other one. The thermoelastic displacements are subjected by a heat source applied in the inner points of the quarter-space and by mixed non-homogeneous boundary heat conditions. On one of the boundary half-plane, the temperature is prescribed and the heat flux is given on the other one. When the thermoelastic Green??s function is derived, the thermoelastic displacements are generated by an inner unit point heat source, described by ??-Dirac??s function. All results are obtained in elementary functions that are formulated in a special theorem. As a particular case, when one of the boundary half-plane of the quarter-space is placed at infinity, we obtain the respective results for half-space. Exact solutions in elementary functions for two particular BVPs for a thermoelastic quarter-space and their graphical presentations are included. They demonstrate how to apply the obtained Green-type integral formula as well as the derived influence functions of an inner unit point body force on volume dilatation to solve particular BVPs of thermoelasticity. In addition, advantages of the obtained results and possibilities of the proposed method to derive new Green??s functions and new Green-type integral formulae not for quarter-space only, but also for any canonical Cartesian domain are also discussed.     

Thermoelastic Interactions without Energy Dissipation Due to a Point Heat Source

The linear theory of thermoelasticity without energy dissipation is employed to study thermoelastic interactions due to a continuous point heat source in a homogeneous and isotropic unbounded solid. The Laplace transform method is employed to solve the problem. Exact expressions, in closed form, for the displacement, temperature and stress fields are obtained. Numerical results for a copper-like material are presented. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Second, the extended Boussinesq and Cerruti solutions for the magnetoelectroelastic half-space are obtained in terms of elementary functions by utilizing this general solution. Third, the coupled fields for elliptical Hertzian contact of magnetoelectroelastic bodies are solved in smooth and frictional cases. At last, the graphic results are presented.     

Superposing scheme for the three-dimensional Green’s functions of an anisotropic half-space

This paper presents a method of superposition for the half-space Green’s functions of a generally anisotropic material subjected to an interior point loading. The mathematical concept is based on the addition of a complementary term to the Green’s function in an anisotropic infinite domain. With the two-dimensional Fourier transformation, the complementary term is derived by solving the generalized Stroh eigenrelation and satisfying the boundary conditions on the free surface with the use of Green’s functions in the full-space case. The inverse Fourier transform leads to the contour integrals, which can be evaluated with the application of Cauchy residue theorem. Application of the present results is made to obtain analytical expression for the orthotropic materials which were not reported previously. The closed-form solutions for the transversely isotropic and isotropic materials derived directly from the solutions as being a special case are also given in this paper.

Thermal stresses in an isotropic trimaterial interacted with a pair of point heat source and heat sink

A general analytical solution for an isotropic trimaterial interacted with a point heat source is provided in this paper. Based on the method of analytical continuation in conjunction with the alternating technique, the solutions to heat conduction and thermoelasticity problems for three dissimilar media are first derived. A rapidly convergent series solution for both the temperature and stress functions, which is expressed in terms of an explicit general term of the complex potential of the corresponding homogeneous problem, is obtained in an elegant form. As a numerical illustration, the distributions of thermal stresses along the interface are presented for various material combinations and for different positions of the applied heat source and heat sink.
