Magnetoelectroelastic composite with poling parallel to plane of line crack under out-of-plane deformation

The three-dimensional field equations can in general be regarded as the sum of in-plane and out-of-plane deformation. The method for the general solution is the same for both although the boundary conditions could make a difference. If a particular solution in exact form may be found for the out-of-plane case, the same may not hold for the in-plane case. Hence, there may be a good reason for discussing the out-of-plane crack problem in certain situations that should be emphasized. Otherwise, the reason may lie in the exploration of possible application to the in-plane problem, a direct solution of which would have required a considerable effort. The contribution of this work rests on the new findings for the case of poling parallel to the crack in a magnetoelectroelastic composite made of BaTiO₃–CoFe₂O₄. The inclusions are BaTiO₃ and the matrix is CoFe₂O₄. Several new features of the solution were not expected before hand.Unlike in-plane deformation with poling normal to the crack plane, maximum crack growth enhancement is found to occur in the BaTiO₃–CoFe₂O₄ composite for a volume fraction of about 50%. Crack retardation increases as the volume fraction of the inclusions either increase or decrease. The occurrence of this same phenomenon in Mode I and II remain to be investigated. Poling direction of magnetic and electric field for line defects can have a significant effect on crack growth for magnetoelectroelastic materials. The foregoing conclusions are based on predictions made from the strain energy density criterion.     

A two-step sequential procedure for detecting an epidemic change

The typical approach in change-point theory is to perform the statistical analysis based on a sample of fixed size. Alternatively, and this is our approach, one observes some random phenomenon sequentially and takes action as soon as one observes some statistically significant deviation from the “normal” behaviour. In this paper we focus on epidemic changes, that is, a first change (the outbreak) when there is a change in the distribution, and a second change, when the process regains its ordinary structure. Based on the counting process related to the original process observed at equidistant time points, we propose some stopping rules for this to happen and consider their asymptotics under the null hypothesis as well as under alternatives. The main basis for the proofs are strong invariance principles for renewal processes, extreme value asymptotics for Gaussian processes, and the law of the iterated logarithm.

UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION TEST AND DAMAGE CONSTITUTIVE MODEL FOR ANALYSIS OF FROZEN CLAY 1)

从冻土微元破坏服从Weibull随机分布的特点出发,将Mohr--Coulomb强度准则作为冻土微元统计分布变量,利用应变等价性假说,建立了单轴应力状态下冻结黏土损伤本构模型;在此基础上,讨论了模型参数和弹性模量与冻结温度的关系,对模型参数和弹性模量进行合理修正,建立了温度影响下的冻结黏土损伤本构模型,并与试验结果进行对比。分析结果表明：考虑温度效应的损伤本构模型能很好地模拟冻结黏土应力--应变全过程曲线,具有很好的适应性。     

A Regularity Criterion for the 3D Incompressible Density-dependent Navier-Stokes-Allen-Cahn Equations

In this paper, we study the initial boundary problem for 3D incompressible density-dependent Navier-Stokes-Allen-Cahn equations, and give a regularity criterion for local strong solutions. Our result refines the blow-up criterion in [1].     

Thermodynamic coupling of diffusion with chemical reaction

On the basis of the nonlocal phenomenological relation between thermodynamic fluxes and forces in continuous systems, it is shown that the vectorial flux couples with the scalar force even in an isotropic system. This result has application to active transport in living organisms and to thermonuclear fusion research.This work was carried out under the collaborating research program at the Institute of Plasma Physics, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan.     

基于扩展有限元的地质聚合物混凝土断裂过程研究

扩展有限元法是基于常规有限元框架分析裂纹等不连续力学问题的一种有效数值方法,在常规的有限元位移表达式中,增加了能够反映位移不连续性的跳跃函数和渐进缝尖位移场函数来对不连续结构附近的节点自由度进行局部加强。本文介绍了扩展有限元法及粘聚力模型的基本原理,给出了基于扩展有限元法的地质聚合物混凝土断裂过程分析方法。分别采用四种不同的软化曲线对I型缺口地质聚合物混凝土梁从裂纹萌生、扩展直至断裂破坏的全过程进行了模拟,并基于双K断裂准则分析了其断裂韧性。结果表明,Petersson模型与试验结果吻合较好,最后基于模拟结果进一步揭示了断裂过程区的演化过程。

Then we propose an information criterion which determines the order of the model, and show that this criterion gives a consistent order estimate. As for a finite order dyadic autoregressive model, we propose a simpler order determination criterion, and discuss its asymptotic properties in detail. This criterion gives a strong consistent order estimate. In Section 5 we discuss testing whether an unknown parameter satisfies a linear restriction. Then we give the asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio criterion under the null hypothesis.This work is supported by Contract N00014-85-K-0292 of the Office of Naval Research and Contract F49620-85-C-0008 of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
