A note on anisotropic,inhomogeneous, poro‐elastic media

A modification of the material law associated with the well‐known Biot system as suggested by Murad and Cushman (Int. J. Eng. Sci. 1996; 34(3):313–338) and first investigated by Showalter (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 2000; 251(1):310–340) is reconsidered, generalized and analysed in the light of a new approach to a comprehensive class of evolutionary problems. The framework allows a uniform approach to problems involving general anisotropic, inhomogeneous, non‐smooth media thus covering, for example, transmission problems in layered materials.

A model of weak viscoelastic nematodynamics

The paper develops a continuum theory of weak viscoelastic nematodynamics of Maxwell type. It can describe the molecular elasticity effects in mono-domain flows of liquid crystalline polymers as well as the viscoelastic effects in suspensions of uniaxially symmetric particles in polymer fluids. Along with viscoelastic and nematic kinematics, the theory employs a general form of weakly elastic thermodynamic potential and the Leslie–Ericksen–Parodi type constitutive equations for viscous nematic liquids, while ignoring inertia effects and the Frank (orientation) elasticity in liquid crystal polymers. In general case, even the simplest Maxwell model has many basic parameters. Nevertheless, recently discovered algebraic properties of nematic operations reveal a general structure of the theory and present it in a simple form. It is shown that the evolution equation for director is also viscoelastic. An example of magnetization exemplifies the action of non-symmetric stresses. When the magnetic field is absent, the theory is reduced to the symmetric, fluid mechanical case with relaxation properties for both the stress and director. Our recent analyses of elastic and viscous soft deformation modes are also extended to the viscoelastic case. The occurrence of possible soft modes minimizes both the free energy and dissipation, and also significantly decreases the number of material parameters. In symmetric linear case, the theory is explicitly presented in terms of anisotropic linear memory functionals. Several analytical results demonstrate a rich behavior predicted by the developed model for steady and unsteady flows in simple shearing and simple elongation.     

On the use of nickel foil strain gages at varying temperatures

When a strain gage made of nickel foil attached on the surface of a specimen is subjected to repeated loads, the elastic stress is measured by observing slip-bands in the foil resulting from repeated strain. Calibration studies with rotating-bending tests at various temperatures between room temperature and 350°C are performed on round steel bars with nickel foil. The relation between the threshold stress for the first appearance of slip-bands and the number of stress cycles is examined at varying temperatures, which provides the calibration values of the nickel foil tested at varying temperatures. Assuming that the first appearance of slip-bands is based on the linear cumulative damage law, the calibration values at varying temperatures are calculated from those established by the calibration tests at several constant temperatures. It is found that the calculated calibration values agree well with the results obtained by the calibration tests at varying temperatures and that the calculation applying the linear cumulative damage law is a useful method to presume the calibration values at varying temperatures without performing the experiment.     

Finite element analysis of Volterra dislocations in anisotropic crystals: A thermal analogue

The present work gives a systematic and rigorous implementation of Volterra dislocations in ordinary two-dimensional finite elements using the thermal analogue and the integral representation of dislocations through the stresses. The full fields are given for edge dislocations in anisotropic crystals, and the Peach–Koehler forces are found for some important examples.

Stability of strain gradient elastic bars in tension

Equilibrium of a bar under uniaxial tension is considered as optimization problem of the total potential energy. Uniaxial deformations are considered for a material with linear constitutive law of strain second gradient elasticity. Applying tension on an elastic bar, necking is shown up in high strains. That means the axial strain forms two homogeneously deformed sections in the ends of the bars and a section in the middle with high variable strain. The interactions of the intrinsic (material) lengths with the non linear strain displacement relations develop critical states of bifurcation with continuous Fourier’s spectrum. Critical conditions and post-critical deformations are defined with the help of multiple scales perturbation method. An erratum to this article can be found at
