On the uniqueness and analyticity of solutions in micropolar thermoviscoelasticity

This paper deals with the linear theory of isotropic micropolar thermoviscoelastic materials. When the dissipation is positive definite, we present two uniqueness theorems. The first one requires the extra assumption that some coupling terms vanish; in this case, the instability of solutions is also proved. When the internal energy and the dissipation are both positive definite, we prove the well-posedness of the problem and the analyticity of the solutions. Exponential decay and impossibility of localization are corollaries of the analyticity.     

Resonant flexural vibrations and dissipative heating of a piezoceramic ring plate with nonuniformly electroded surfaces

The forced flexural vibrations and dissipative heating of a bimorph ring plate are studied. The plate is made of viscoelastic piezoceramics and is polarized across the thickness. The outer surfaces of the plate are nonuniformly electroded, and harmonic electric excitation is applied to the electrodes. The viscoelastic behavior of the material is described using the concept of temperature-dependent complex moduli. The coupled nonlinear problem of thermoviscoelasticity is solved by time iteration using, at each iteration, the discrete-orthogonalization method to integrate the mechanics equations and the explicit finite-difference method to solve the heat-conduction equation with a nonlinear heat source. Numerical calculations demonstrate that by changing the size of the ring electrode we can influence the natural frequency, stress and displacement distributions, dissipative-heating temperature, and amplitude-and temperature-frequency characteristics. With certain boundary conditions, there is an optimal electrode configuration that produces deflections of maximum amplitudes when an electric excitation is applied __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 3, pp. 102–109, March 2006.

Radial Vibrations and Heating of a Ring Piezoplate under Electric Excitation Applied to Nonuniformly Electroded Surfaces

Radial vibrations and dissipative heating of a polarized piezoceramic ring plate are studied. The plate is excited by a harmonic electric field applied to nonuniformly electroded surfaces of the plate. The viscoelastic behavior of piezoceramics is described in terms of complex quantities. An analytical solution is found in the case of quasistatic harmonic loading. The dynamic nonlinear problem of coupled thermoviscoelasticity is solved with regard for the temperature dependence of the properties of piezoceramics by step-by-step integration in time, using the numerical methods of discrete orthogonalization and finite differences. A numerical analysis is conducted for TsTStBS-2 piezoceramics to study the influence of partial electroding on the stress–strain distribution, natural frequency, and amplitude–frequency and temperature–frequency characteristics

A porous thermoviscoelastic mixture problem: numerical analysis and computational experiments

In this paper, we study, from the numerical point of view, a porous thermoviscoelastic mixture problem. The mechanical problem is written as a linear coupled system of two hyperbolic partial differential equations for the porosities and a parabolic partial differential equation for the temperature field. An existence and uniqueness result and an energy decay property are stated. Then, fully discrete approximations are introduced by using the finite element method to approximate the spatial variable and the backward Euler scheme to discretize the time derivatives. A priori error estimates are proved from which, under suitable regularity conditions, the linear convergence of the algorithm is derived. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the approximations in an academical one-dimensional example and the behaviour of the solutions in one- and two-dimensional problems.
