Abstract
Four-dimensional (4D) printing is a new interdisciplinary research field that integrates sophisticated manufacturing, smart materials and mechanics. Shape memory polymer (SMP) and their composites (SMPCs) have been widely used in the field of 4D printing due to their smart and rapid response. Thus, we develop a novel thermodynamic constitutive model for SMP and SMPC, and investigate its application in 4D printing. Structure relaxation and stress relaxation are considered to follow different physical mechanisms but are related by an internal thermodynamic state variable that can represent the non-equilibrium structure. Founded on the thermodynamic variable, a physics-based fictive temperature theory is constructed for structure relaxation, and also a new stress relaxation model is proposed to characterize the time-dependent behaviors related to mechanical changes. It is shown that the influences of temperatures, strain rates, pre-strains, reinforcing fillers, and recovery conditions on stress-strain and shape memory responses are well predicted by the thermodynamic constitutive model.
期刊介绍:
Applied Mathematical Modelling focuses on research related to the mathematical modelling of engineering and environmental processes, manufacturing, and industrial systems. A significant emerging area of research activity involves multiphysics processes, and contributions in this area are particularly encouraged.
This influential publication covers a wide spectrum of subjects including heat transfer, fluid mechanics, CFD, and transport phenomena; solid mechanics and mechanics of metals; electromagnets and MHD; reliability modelling and system optimization; finite volume, finite element, and boundary element procedures; modelling of inventory, industrial, manufacturing and logistics systems for viable decision making; civil engineering systems and structures; mineral and energy resources; relevant software engineering issues associated with CAD and CAE; and materials and metallurgical engineering.
Applied Mathematical Modelling is primarily interested in papers developing increased insights into real-world problems through novel mathematical modelling, novel applications or a combination of these. Papers employing existing numerical techniques must demonstrate sufficient novelty in the solution of practical problems. Papers on fuzzy logic in decision-making or purely financial mathematics are normally not considered. Research on fractional differential equations, bifurcation, and numerical methods needs to include practical examples. Population dynamics must solve realistic scenarios. Papers in the area of logistics and business modelling should demonstrate meaningful managerial insight. Submissions with no real-world application will not be considered.
