Stability of the second fundamental problem under perturbation of the boundary curve in plane elasticity

Let the elastic domain be a disk, and its boundary the unit circle. By dint of the stability of Cauchy‐type integral with respect to the perturbation of integral curve, this paper discusses the stability of the complex stress functions to the second fundamental problem in plane elasticity when smooth perturbation happens for the boundary curve.

Inequality constraints with elastic impacts in deformable bodies. The convex case

Summary The aim of the present paper is to present some new results for problems when impacts occur. We prove, in the framework of linear elastic body, certain equivalent form of the d'Alembert's principle, including velocity discontinuity. We show that the theorem of stationary action still holds as an inequality. The consideration of the variation of the unknown impact time implies for the impact problem certain new variational expressions in inequality form.

Side chain length affects backbone dynamics in poly(3‐alkylthiophene)s

Charge transport in conjugated polymers may be governed not only by the static microstructure but also fluctuations of backbone segments. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we predict the role of side chains in the backbone dynamics for regiorandom poly(3‐alkylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl)s (P3ATs). We show that the backbone of poly(3‐dodecylthiophene‐2‐5‐diyl) (P3DDT) moves faster than that of poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl) (P3HT) as a result of the faster motion of the longer side chains. To verify our predictions, we investigated the structures and dynamics of regiorandom P3ATs with neutron scattering and solid state NMR. Measurements of spin‐lattice relaxations (T₁) using NMR support our prediction of faster motion for side chain atoms that are farther away from the backbone. Using small‐angle neutron scattering (SANS), we confirmed that regiorandom P3ATs are amorphous at about 300 K, although microphase separation between the side chains and backbones is apparent. Furthermore, quasi‐elastic neutron scattering (QENS) reveals that thiophene backbone motion is enhanced as the side chain length increases from hexyl to dodecyl. The faster motion of longer side chains leads to faster backbone dynamics, which in turn may affect charge transport for conjugated polymers. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

ELASTIC CALCULATION OF STRESSES IN RINGS USING AIRY STRESS FUNCTION

Stress calculation formulae for a ring have been obtained by using Airy stress function of the plane strain field with the decomposition of the solutions for normal stresses of Airy biharmonic equation into two parts when it is loaded under two opposite inside forces along a diameter. One part should fulfill a constraint condition about normal stress distribution along the circumference at an energy valley to do the minimum work. Other part is a stress residue constant. In order to verify these formulae and the computed results, the computed contour lines of equi-maximal shear stresses were plotted and quite compared with that of photo-elasticity test results. This constraint condition about normal stress distribution along circumference is confirmed by using Greens’ theorem. An additional compression exists along the circumference of the loaded ring, explaining the divorcement and displacement of singularity points at inner and outer boundaries.

Thermodynamics of wurtzite GaN from first-principle calculation

The density function perturbation theory (DFPT) is employed to study the linear thermal expansion and heat capacity at constant pressure (with the quasiharmonic approximation) for wurtzite GaN. The calculated results of linear thermal expansion coefficient and heat capacity at constant pressure are compared with the available experimental data in a wide temperature range. Generally these properties calculated agree well with experimental data except at high temperature, thus it suggests the thermal expansion and heat capacity can be well calculated from this first-principle approach.     

Observability of elastic vibrations of a beam

The observability problem for beam vibrations described by a fourth-order partial differential equation with various boundary conditions is considered. Dynamic observability problems are solved in terms of boundary conditions and observations of the beam state at certain fixed instants of time.
