Abstract
The paper deals with the derivation of asymptotically correct equations governing the long-wave bending response of a rectangular ultrathin elastic isotropic plate taking into account surface effects within the framework of the Gurtin-Murdoch theory of surface elasticity. The upper and lower faces are assumed to be pre-stressed by residual surface stresses which can be either tensile or compressive. The original 3D equations of elasticity are split into equations corresponding to the in-plane boundary layer and equations predicting out-of-plane bending deformation. By performing asymptotic integration through the thickness of the 3D equations associated with bending deformations and satisfying the balance equations on both faces, we derive asymptotically correct relations for displacements and stresses, as well as a new Timoshenko-type equation capturing surface stresses and inertia. A comparative analysis of the derived governing equation with similar available equations based on kinematic hypotheses revealed significant differences in the effective bending stiffness and factors of the inertia term. As examples, we studied free low-frequency vibrations and self-buckling of a square nanoplates made of different materials and compared effects of residual stresses on the natural frequencies and the critical value of the plate side using the novel model and the models relying on hypotheses for the normal component of the stress tensor.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal provides a forum for presenting new ideas in continuum and quasi-continuum modeling of systems with a large number of degrees of freedom and sufficient complexity to require thermodynamic closure. Major emphasis is placed on papers attempting to bridge the gap between discrete and continuum approaches as well as micro- and macro-scales, by means of homogenization, statistical averaging and other mathematical tools aimed at the judicial elimination of small time and length scales. The journal is particularly interested in contributions focusing on a simultaneous description of complex systems at several disparate scales. Papers presenting and explaining new experimental findings are highly encouraged. The journal welcomes numerical studies aimed at understanding the physical nature of the phenomena.
Potential subjects range from boiling and turbulence to plasticity and earthquakes. Studies of fluids and solids with nonlinear and non-local interactions, multiple fields and multi-scale responses, nontrivial dissipative properties and complex dynamics are expected to have a strong presence in the pages of the journal. An incomplete list of featured topics includes: active solids and liquids, nano-scale effects and molecular structure of materials, singularities in fluid and solid mechanics, polymers, elastomers and liquid crystals, rheology, cavitation and fracture, hysteresis and friction, mechanics of solid and liquid phase transformations, composite, porous and granular media, scaling in statics and dynamics, large scale processes and geomechanics, stochastic aspects of mechanics. The journal would also like to attract papers addressing the very foundations of thermodynamics and kinetics of continuum processes. Of special interest are contributions to the emerging areas of biophysics and biomechanics of cells, bones and tissues leading to new continuum and thermodynamical models.
