Thermoelastoplastic deformation of a thick-walled cylinder with a radial crack

The thermoelastoplastic fracture mechanics problem of a thick-walled cylinder subjected to internal pressure and a nonuniform temperature field is solved by the method of elastic solutions combined with the finite-element method. The correctness of the solution is provided by using the Barenblatt crack model, in which the stress and strain fields are regular. The elastoplastic problem of a cracked cylinder subjected to internal pressure and a nonuniform temperature field are solved. The calculation results are compared with available data. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 3, pp. 173–183, May–June, 2008.     

Synthesis of thermoplastic curdlan alkyl carbamates having hydrogen bonding ability

Rigid and little moldable curdlan, a linear β-1,3-glucan having intra- and interchain hydrogen bonds, was reacted with several alkyl isocyanates, which gave thermoplastic curdlan alkyl carbamates (CrdC) with degree of substitution about 2. The alkyl carbamation at hydroxy groups in the glucan skeleton effectively broke the interchain hydrogen bonds of curdlan and increased flexibility of CrdC, while the newly formed carbamate moieties could moderately keep the hydrogen bonding ability in CrdC. Elongating the alkyl groups in the carbamate side chains increased solubility in organic solvents and thermoplasticity of CrdC, which enabled to make homogeneous and free-standing films by both methods of solution-casting and hot-pressing.     

A theory of large-strain isotropic thermoplasticity based on metric transformation tensors

Summary A formulation of isotropic thermoplasticity for arbitrary large elastic and plastic strains is presented. The underlying concept is the introduction of a metric transformation tensor which maps a locally defined six-dimensional plastic metric onto the metric of the current configuration. This mixed-variant tensor field provides a basis for the definition of a local isotropic hyperelastic stress response in the thermoplastic solid. Following this fundamental assumption, we derive a consistent internal variable formulation of thermoplasticity in a Lagrangian as well as a Eulerian geometric setting. On the numerical side, we discuss in detail an objective integration algorithm for the mixed-variant plastic flow rule. The special feature here is a new representation of the stress return and the algorithmic elastoplastic moduli in the eigenvalue space of the Eulerian plastic metric for plane problems. Furthermore, an algorithm for the solution of the coupled problem is formulated based on an operator split of the global field equations of thermoplasticity. The paper concludes with two representative numerical simulations of thermoplastic deformation processes.     

Calculation of the Thermoelastoplastic Nonaxisymmetric Stress-Strain State of Layered Orthotropic Shells of Revolution

The methods for determining the nonaxisymmetric thermoelastoplastic stress-strain state of layered orthotropic shells of revolution are developed. It is assumed that the layered package deforms without mutual slippage or separation of layers. The problem is solved using the geometrically nonlinear theory of shells based on the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses. In the isotropic layers, plastic deformations may appear, whereas the orthotropic layers deform in the elastic region. It is assumed that the mechanical properties of the materials are temperature-dependent. The thermoplasticity equations are presented in a form corresponding to the method of additional deformations. The order of the system of partial differential equations obtained is reduced with the help of trigonometric series in the circumferential coordinate. The resulting systems of ordinary differential equations are solved by the Godunov technique of discrete orthogonalization. The nonaxisymmetric thermoelastoplastic stress-strain states of layered shells of revolution are considered as examples.

Effect of the Propionylation Method on the Deformability under Thermal Pressure of Block-Shaped Wood

Converting wood waste into thermoplastic materials is an attractive means of increasing its utilization because complex three-dimensional molded products can easily be obtained by press molding wood with thermoplasticity. Chemical modification, especially esterification, is a promising method for imparting thermoplasticity to wood. In this study, we produced multiple propionylated wood specimens using several propionylation methods and elucidated the factors affecting the deformability of the wood. Regardless of the method, all of the propionylated wood samples showed deformability in the tangential direction. However, in the longitudinal direction, not only the degree of propionylation but also the propionylation method had a significant influence on the deformability. The flow in the tangential direction occurred under a relatively low pressure, whereas the flow in the longitudinal direction occurred under higher pressure. The chemical composition and motility of each sample were evaluated using solid-state NMR measurements. With some propionylation methods, decomposition of the cellulose main chain occurred during the reaction, which had a dominant effect on the deformability of the wood in the longitudinal direction. These results indicate that the deformability of wood can be controlled by the appropriate selection of a propionylation method and its treatment conditions.     

Determining the Axisymmetric, Geometrically Nonlinear, Thermoelastoplastic State of Laminated Orthotropic Shells

A technique is developed to determine the axisymmetric, geometrically nonlinear, thermoplastic stress–strain state of laminated ortotropic shells of revolution under loads that cause a meridian stress state and torsion. The technique is based on the rectilinear-element hypotheses for the whole stack of layers. The active elastoplastic deformation of an ortotropic material is described by deformation-type equations that have been derived without resort to the existence conditions for the plastic potential. The scalar functions in the constitutive equations depend on the intensity of shear strains and temperature. The problem is solved through the numerical integration of a system of differential equations. The technique is tried out in designing tubular specimens subjected to axial force and torque. As an example, the elastoplastic state of a corrugated shell is analyzed
