The title problem is given the following explicit solution: = _D S|D, where the elasticity tensor in the constrained case is the restriction to the constraint subspace D of a corresponding unconstrained elasticity tensor S, followed by composition with the orthogonal projection _D on D.

Paradoxical Bending Behavior of Shearable Nonlinearly Elastic Rods

In nonlinear elasticity the exact geometry of deformation is combined with general constitutive relations. This allows a very sophisticated interaction of deformations in different material directions. Based on the Cosserat theory for planar deformations of nonlinearly elastic rods we demonstrate some paradoxical bending effects caused by a nontrivial interaction of extension, flexure, and shear. The analytical results are illustrated by numerical examples.     

Rotationally Symmetric Deformations of Partially Loaded Annular Elastic Membranes Without Wrinkling

This paper investigates axisymmetric deformations of curved annular membranes subjected to a partially vanishing vertical surface load and to radial edge loads or displacements. The frame of the membrane model we deal with is the nonlinear small-strain theory. The determination of the principal stresses reduces to the solution of a single nonlinear second order ODE. Analysis becomes explicit on the unloaded membrane part while the loaded part is treated by methods which have been previously developed. In particular, the ranges of those stress and displacement boundary data are determined which admit for wrinkle-free solutions only, i.e. for solutions governed by a nonnegative radial and circumferential stress component. For such a tensile state, a curved membrane flattens out on the unloaded portions. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On the general expression of Fredholm Integral Equations Method in elasticity

In this paper, the concept of covering domain is introduced to develop a general expression for the Fredholm Integral Equations Method, by which elasticity problems of arbitrarily shaped bodies loaded by external forces can be solved. Some special expressions are given for a body with non-zero remote stresses, or subjected to some concentrated forces on its boundary. The relationship between the loading forces and solutions are also discussed. Some analytical solutions can be obtained for simple cases. When numerical computations are needed for the solution, the method proves to have high precision and fast convergency.     

On 3-dimensional non-axisymmetrical deformation analyses for finite hollow circular cylinders

In this paper, 3-dimensional non-axisymmetrical deformation analyses for finite hollow circular cylinders have been carried out by Pickett's double series expansion method^[1]. Through expanding the displacement potentials as the sum of fourier series and Fourier-Bessel series, we could express the coefficients of one series by those of another under certain boundary conditions. Thus, a set of linear algebraic equations were derived. Solving these equations, we could obtain the solutions of the problems. Numerical examples have been given to show that the method presented here is workable for practical applications.     

Liquid–crystalline nematic polymers revisited

A new model for nematic polymers is proposed, based on the probability ψ(u,u,t) for a macromolecule to be oriented along direction u while embedded in a u environment created by its neighbours. The potential of the internal forces is written Φ(u,u) accordingly. The free energy contains a contribution ν Φ + k_BT ln ψ where the brackets mean an average over the probability distribution, while ν is the (uniform) polymer number density. An equation is derived for the time-evolution of the order parameter S = uu − I/3, together with an expression for the stress tensor. These two results offer a generalization of the Doi Model in so far as they include a distortional energy, analogue to the Frank elastic energy for low molecular mass nematics. Extending the Maier–Saupe variational procedure, we specify the way that the internal potential Φ(u,u) must be written for it to favour non-zero values of the order parameter, while giving a penalty to situations with gradients of the order parameter. The result is quite different from the potential proposed a decade ago by Marrucci and Greco (their Φ depends on u only), while it has a clear connection with the so-called Landau-de Gennes (LdG) tensor models, which are based on a free-energy depending on the order parameter and its gradients.     

Anisotropic parameter identification using inhomogeneous tensile test

In this contribution, an inverse identification strategy of constitutive laws for elastoplastic behaviour is presented. The proposed inverse algorithm is composed on an appropriate finite element calculation combined with an optimisation procedure. It is applied to identify material anisotropic coefficients using a set up of easy performed laboratory tests. The used experimental data are the plane tensile test and the off axes tensile tests. The identified behaviour models are mainly based on Hill's quadratic yield criterion. Two cases of this yield criterion have been considered: the transverse isotropic and the orthotropic one under an associated and non-associated flow rule assumptions for each case. The yield surface has been assumed to expand isotropically (isotropic strain hardening law) as a function of the plastic work.In order to better describe anisotropic plastic properties of the studied materials, a recently planar anisotropic yield function is used. It is a non-quadratic yield criterion which takes account of anisotropic yield stresses as well as anisotropic strain ratios. It is subsequently shown that the agreement between inverse identification results and experimental measurements were improved.We prove also that the presented strategy is a good alternative to the simplified homogeneous tests assumption, especially for the plane tensile test.     

求弹性半平面问题基本解的一个新方法

本文所提到的弹性半平面问题的基本解是一个满足特殊条件的弹性半平面的应力位移解答。这些条件为:(1)半平面内一点处作用有集中力X,Y或集中力偶M;(2)半平面边界为自由或固定边。利用平面弹性的复变函数方法,文中把弹性半平面基本解的问题归结为下列问题,使一个特定解析函数和另一个解析函数的共轭值在半平面边界上相等。对上述转化后的问题,只要利用复变函数的性质,不难从基本解的第一部分推导出基本解的第二部分。其中,基本解的第一部分是弹性全平面的本基解。从而,半平面问题基本解可以方便地得到。此外,文中还首次给出了:(1)集中力偶作用于半平面内一点时的基本解;(2)当半平面边界固定情况下的基本解。
