Higher order asymptotic solution of mode I crack growth in elastic-perfectly plastic media

A higher order asymptotic solution of near-tip field is studied for plane-atrain Mode-I quasi-static steady crack growth in the incompressible (v=1/2) elastic perfectly-plastic media. The results show that the near-tip stress and strain are fully continuous, and the strain possesses In (A/r) singularity at the crack tip. The expressions of the stress, strain and velocity in each region are also given. The project supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China

On the continuum modeling of carbon nanotubes

We have recently proposed a nanoscale continuum theory for carbon nanotubes. The theory links continuum analysis with atomistic modeling by incorporating interatomic potentials and atomic structures of carbon nanotubes directly into the constitutive law. Here we address two main issues involved in setting up the nanoscale continuum theory for carbon nanotubes, namely the multi-body interatomic potentials and the lack of centrosymmetry in the nanotube structure. We explain the key ideas behind these issues in establishing a nanoscale continuum theory in terms of interatomic potentials and atomic structures.     

A micromechanics constitutive model for pure dilatant martensitic transformation of ZrO2-containing ceramics

A new micromechanics constitutive model for pure dilatant transformation plasticity of structure ceramics is proposed in this paper. Based on the thermodynamics, micromechanics and microscalet→m transformation mechanism analysis of the TZP and PSZ ZrO₂-containing ceramics, an analytic expressions of the Helmholtz and complementary free energy of the constitutive element for the case of pure dilatant transformation is derived for the first time in a self-consistent manner. By the analysis of energy dissipation in the forward and reverse transformations, the micromechanics constitutive law is derived in the framework of Hill-Rice's internal variable constitutive theory.

The effective properties of piezocomposites, part II: The effective electroelastic moduli

Since piezoelectric ceramic/polymer composites have been widely used as smart materials and smart structures, it is more and more important to obtain the closed-from solutions of the effective properties of piezocomposites with piezoelectric ellipsoidal inclusions. Based on the closed-from solutions of the electroelastic Eshelby's tensors obtained in the part I of this paper and the generalized Budiansky's energy-equivalence framework, the closed-form general relations of effective electroelastic moduli of the piezocomposites with piezoelectric ellipsoidal inclusions are given. The relations can be applicable for several micromechanics models, such as the dilute solution and the Mori-Tanaka's method. The difference among the various models is shown to be the way in which the average strain and the average electric field of the inclusion phase are evaluated. Comparison between predicted and experimental results shows that the theoretical values in this paper agree quite well with the experimental results. These expression can be readily utilized in analysis and design of piezocomposites. The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

A constitutive relation for pseudo-elastic behaviour in shape memory alloys

A constitutive relation to describe pseudo-elastic deformation in shape memory alloys is presented in this paper. It is capable of describing deformation behaviour of polycrystalline materials under triaxial stress state as well as of monocrystalline materials under one-dimensional condition. Total strain rate is supposed to be composed of elastic strain rate and transformation strain rate. Deformation behaviour of Cu−Zn−Sn alloy and Ti−ni alloy is simulated by use of the proposed constitutive relation. it is shown that simulated results are in a good agreement with experimental data.
