In this paper we formulate a geometric theory of the mechanics of growing solids. Bulk growth is modeled by a material manifold
with an evolving metric. The time dependence of the metric represents the evolution of the stress-free (natural) configuration
of the body in response to changes in mass density and “shape”. We show that the time dependency of the material metric will
affect the energy balance and the entropy production inequality; both the energy balance and the entropy production inequality
have to be modified. We then obtain the governing equations covariantly by postulating invariance of energy balance under
time-dependent spatial diffeomorphisms. We use the principle of maximum entropy production in deriving an evolution equation
for the material metric. In the case of isotropic growth, we find those growth distributions that do not result in residual
stresses. We then look at Lagrangian field theory of growing elastic solids. We will use the Lagrange–d’Alembert principle
with Rayleigh’s dissipation functions to derive the governing equations. We make an explicit connection between our geometric
theory and the conventional multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient, F=FeFg, into growth and elastic parts. We linearize the nonlinear theory and derive a linearized theory of growth mechanics. Finally,
we obtain the stress-free growth distributions in the linearized theory. 相似文献
Nonlinear dynamics of amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy (AFM) is studied employing a reduced-order model based on a differential quadrature method (DQM). The AFM microcantilever is assumed to be operating in the dynamic contact or tapping mode while the microcantilever tip being initially located in the bistable region. We have found that the DQM is capable of precise prediction of the static bifurcation diagram and natural frequencies of the microcantilever. We have used the DQM to discretize the partial-differential equation governing the microcantilever motion and a finite difference method (FDM) to calculate limit-cycle responses of the AFM tip. It is shown that a combination of the DQM and FDM applied, respectively, to discretize the spatial and temporal derivatives provides an efficient, accurate procedure to address the complicated dynamic behavior exhibited by the AFM probe. The procedure was, therefore, utilized to study the response of the microcantilever to a base harmonic excitation through several numerical examples. We found that the dynamics of the AFM probe in the bistable region is totally different from those in the monostable region. 相似文献

This paper investigates the linear free vibration of axially moving simply supported thin circular cylindrical shells with constant and time-dependent velocity considering the effect of viscous structure damping. Classical shell theory is employed to express strain-displacement relation. Linear elasticity theory is used to write stress–strain relation considering Hook’s Law. Governing equations in cylindrical coordinates are derived using the Hamilton principle. Equilibrium equations are rewritten with the help of Donnell–Mushtari shell theory simplification assumptions. Motion equations for displacements in axial and circumferential directions are solved analytically concerning to displacement in the radial direction.
As the displacement in the radial direction is the combination of driven and companion modes, the third motion equation is discretized using the Galerkin method. The set of ordinary differential equation obtained from the Galerkin method is solved using the steady-state method, which in practice leads to the prediction of the exact frequencies of vibration. By employing multiple scale method the critical speed values of a circular cylindrical shell and several types of instabilities are discussed. The numerical results show that by increasing the mean velocity, the system always loses stability by the divergence instability in different modes, and the critical speed values of lower modes are higher than those of higher modes. As well as the unstable regions for the resonances between velocity function fluctuation frequencies and the linear combination of natural frequencies is gained from the solvability condition of second order multiple scale method. The accuracy of the method is checked against the available data.
Quantification of the living human visual system using MRI methods has been challenging, but several applications demand a reliable and time-efficient data acquisition protocol. In this study, we demonstrate the utility of high-spatial-resolution diffusion tensor fiber tractography (DTT) in reconstructing and quantifying the human visual pathways. Five healthy males, age range 24–37 years, were studied after approval of the institutional review board (IRB) at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. We acquired diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data with 1-mm slice thickness on a 3.0-Tesla clinical MRI scanner and analyzed the data using DTT with the fiber assignment by continuous tractography (FACT) algorithm. By utilizing the high-spatial-resolution DTI protocol with FACT algorithm, we were able to reconstruct and quantify bilateral optic pathways including the optic chiasm, optic tract, optic radiations free of contamination from neighboring white matter tracts. 相似文献

Karst springs of the Zagros Mountains contribute a significant amount to agricultural and human water demands of western and south-western Iran. For an adequate management of available water resources in semi-arid and arid regions, sufficient hydrological monitoring is needed, and hydro-chemical and isotope hydrological data provide important additional information. About 350 water samples were collected from precipitation, river water, and karst springs of the upper part of the Karkheh River Basin (20,895 km2) located between 33°35′ and 34°55′ North and 46°22′ and 49°10′ East with elevations ranging from 928 to 3563 m above sea level. Sampling was conducted in monthly time resolution from August 2011 to July 2012. All samples were analysed for hydro-chemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, and major ions) and stable isotopes (deuterium, oxygen-18). Isotope values of precipitation indicate a local meteoric water line (Zagros MWL δ2H=6.8 δ18O+10.1; R2=0.99) situated between the Mediterranean MWL and Global MWL. Spring and river water isotope values vary between?7.1 and?4.1 ‰, and?38 and?25 ‰ for δ18O and δ2H, respectively, responding to winter snowmelt and evaporation. This work implements stable isotopes and hydro-chemical information of springs and river water to understand hydrological and hydro-geological interrelations in karstic semi-arid areas and helps to improve the current water resources management practices of western Iran. 相似文献
