Spatial Estimates for the Constrained Anisotropic Elastic Cylinder

This paper establishes spatial estimates in a prismatic (semi-infinite) cylinder occupied by an anisotropic homogeneous linear elastic material, whose elasticity tensor is strongly elliptic. The cylinder is maintained in equilibrium under zero body force, zero displacement on the lateral boundary and pointwise specified displacement over the base. The other plane end is subject to zero displacement (when the cylinder is finite, say). The limiting case of a semi-infinite cylinder is also considered and zero displacement on the remote end (at large distance) is not assumed in this case. A first approach is developed by considering two mean-square cross-sectional measures of the displacement vector whose spatial evolution with respect to the axial variable is studied by means of a technique based on a second-order differential inequality. Conditions on the elastic constants are derived that show the cross-sectional measures exhibit alternative behaviour and in particular for the semi-infinite cylinder that there is either at least exponential growth or at most exponential decay. A second approach considers cross-sectional integrals involving the displacement and its gradient and furnishes information upon the spatial evolution, without restricting the range of strongly elliptic elastic constants. Such models are principally based upon a first-order differential inequality as well as on one of second order. The general results are explicitly presented for transversely isotropic materials and graphically illustrated for a cortical bone.     

Transient Waves on the Free Surface of a Viscoelastic Anisotropic Half-Space

The Stroh formalism is employed to discuss the existence of transient surface waves on a viscoelastic anisotropic hall-space. The compatibility conditions, obtained using the integral formulation of Lothe and Barnett [13, 14], are examined on the basis of an asymptotic expansion of the viscoelastic kernel and a separation of space variables. Some previous results on elastic media are extended to viscoelasticity, exploiting the consequences of the second law of thermodynamics. It is found that all the allowed transient surface modes take the form of inhomogeneous plane waves whose amplitude exponentially decays along the propagation direction on the surface. Special solutions are derived explicitly for one-component surface waves where transient modes are admitted also in those cases in which stationary waves cannot occur.

CONTROLLABILITY OF A CLASS OF HYBRID DYNAMIC SYSTEMS (Ⅰ)—BASIC PROPERTIES AND PRELIMINARY RESULTS

The controllability for switched linear system with time-delay in controls was first investigated. The whole work contains three parts. This is the first part, including problem formulation and some preliminaries. Firstly, the mathematical model of switched linear systems with time-delay in control functions was presented. Secondly, the concept of column space, cyclic invariant subspace and generalized cyclic invariant subspace were introduced. And some basic properties, such as separation lemma, were presented. Finally, a basic lemma was given to reveal the relation between the solution set of a centain integral equations and the generalized cyclic invariant subspace. This lemma will play an important role in the determination of controllability. All these definitions and lemmas are necessary research tools for controllability analysis.

On the use of stretched-exponential functions for both linear viscoelastic creep and stress relaxation

The use of the stretched-exponential function to represent both the relaxation function g(t)=(G(t)-G _∞)/(G ₀-G _∞) and the retardation function r(t) = (J _∞+t/η-J(t))/(J _∞-J ₀) of linear viscoelasticity for a given material is investigated. That is, if g(t) is given by exp (?(t/τ)^β), can r(t) be represented as exp (?(t/λ)^µ) for a linear viscoelastic fluid or solid? Here J(t) is the creep compliance, G(t) is the shear modulus, η is the viscosity (η^?1 is finite for a fluid and zero for a solid), G _∞ is the equilibrium modulus G _e for a solid or zero for a fluid, J _∞ is 1/G _e for a solid or the steady-state recoverable compliance for a fluid, G ₀= 1/J ₀ is the instantaneous modulus, and t is the time. It is concluded that g(t) and r(t) cannot both exactly by stretched-exponential functions for a given material. Nevertheless, it is found that both g(t) and r(t) can be approximately represented by stretched-exponential functions for the special case of a fluid with exponents β=µ in the range 0.5 to 0.6, with the correspondence being very close with β=µ=0.5 and λ=2τ. Otherwise, the functions g(t) and r(t) differ, with the deviation being marked for solids. The possible application of a stretched-exponential to represent r(t) for a critical gel is discussed.

Linear Isotropic Relations in Finite Hyperelasticity: Some General Results

The form of the classical stress–strain relations of linear elasticity are considered here within the context of nonlinear elasticity. For both Cauchy and symmetric Piola-Kirchhoff stresses, conditions are obtained for the associated strain fields so that they are independent of the material constants and compatible with existence of a strain–energy function. These conditions can be integrated in both cases to obtain the most general strain field that satisfies these conditions and the corresponding strain–energy function is obtained. In both cases, a natural choice of form of solution is suggested by the special case of the compatibility conditions being satisfied identically. It will be shown that some strain–energy functions previously introduced in the literature are special cases of the results obtained here. Some recent linear stress–strain relations, proposed in the context of Cauchy elasticity, are examined to see if they are compatible with hyperelasticity.      

Difference between the longitudinal Frenkel-Biot waves in water-and gas-saturated porous media

The problem of the propagation of longitudinal Biot waves in a porous medium saturated with a weakly compressible liquid (water) or a gas is considered theoretically. The frequency dependence of the phase velocities and damping coefficients is investigated numerically. It is shown that for a certain relationship between the parameters of the porous medium and the saturating fluid there is a “critical” frequency at which the properties of longitudinal waves of both kinds are identical. An analytical expression for this “critical” frequency is obtained. It is shown that for a gas-saturated porous medium, at a certain frequency, in both longitudinal waves the relative gas-matrix motion changes type. Assuming that the saturating-gas behavior corresponds to an adiabatic equation of state, an estimate is obtained for the threshold pore pressure necessary for the restructuring of the relative motion. The wave associated with matrix deformation is shown to have a high damping coefficient in a porous medium saturated with a weakly compressible liquid (water in the case considered) but to be only weakly damped in a gas-saturated porous medium.     

End Effects in Anti-plane Shear for an Inhomogeneous Isotropic Linearly Elastic Semi-infinite Strip

The purpose of this research is to further investigate the effects of material inhomogeneity on the decay of Saint-Venant end effects in linear isotropic elasticity. This is carried out within the context of anti-plane shear deformations of an inhomogeneous isotropic elastic solid. The mathematical issues involve the effects of spatial inhomogeneity on the decay rates of solutions to Dirichlet or Neumann boundary-value problems for a second-order linear elliptic partial differential equation with variable coefficients on a semi-infinite strip. In previous work [1], the elastic coefficients were assumed to be smooth functions of the transverse coordinate so that the material was inhomogeneous in the lateral direction only. Here we develop a new technique, based on a change of variable, to study generally inhomogeneous isotropic materials. The governing partial differential equation is transformed to a Helmholtz equation with a variable coefficient, which facilitates analysis of the influence of material inhomogeneity on the diffusion of end effects. For certain classes of inhomogeneous materials, an explicit optimal decay estimate is established. The results of this paper are applicable to continuously inhomogeneous materials and, in particular, to functionally graded materials. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
