Thermomechanical Behavior of Nonlinearly Viscoelastic Materials Under Harmonic Loading

The results of investigations into nonlinear, particularly, viscoelastic media under cyclic loading are generalized. The constitutive equations are studied based on the concept of amplitude potentials. Simplified models based on complex mechanical characteristics that depend on the strain or stress amplitudes, vibration frequency, and temperature are developed

Modeling the thermomechanical behavior of physically nonlinear materials under monoharmonic loading

We analyze approximate approaches to the modeling of the thermomechanical behavior of physically nonlinear materials under harmonic loading. The approaches are based on various harmonic-linearization schemes and the concept of complex moduli. Mechanical and mathematical features of various schemes are considered. Some modifications of the model are proposed to account for various aspects of material behavior under harmonic loading. The problems of vibration and dissipative heating of physically nonlinear bodies are formulated. The main thermomechanical characteristics are analyzed for some classes of problems.The study was partially sponsored by the State Fund for Basic Research of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (Grant No. 01.07/00050).Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 10, pp. 3–34, September 2004.
