It aims to provide robust identification under uncertain jack loads and stochastic material properties. A setup composed of three flat jacks inserted in masonry joints is explored in a micro-scale numerical model to develop the approach. The resulting surface strains are processed using the Virtual Fields Method to simultaneously and non-iteratively identify the mortar’s Young’s and shear modulus. Instead of the uncertain jack loads, mechanical properties of bricks, which are easy to obtain from laboratory testing of extracted samples, are used for the identification. The identified Young’s and shear moduli are robust against variations in jack penetration depth, measurement noise, stochastic material variability, and inaccuracies in brick properties. Poisson’s ratios are also identified, but less robustly, due to their limited influence on the measured strains. Finally, the use of VFM to reconstruct the uncertain jack forces is illustrated to deliver new insights on the applied loads during complex in-situ tests.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"320 ","pages":"Article 113503"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144331286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The <em>R</em> value, which is the ratio of width-to-thickness plastic strains, significantly affects the cup height, while the flow stresses in the plane-strain tension and tensile–compression combined stress states determine the LDR. Experiments and crystal-plasticity simulations of uniaxial tension and various biaxial stress tests are conducted. Custom-designed antibuckling plates are used to simultaneously apply tension and compression to sheet specimens. The crystal-plasticity simulation accurately predicts the <em>R</em> values and the flow stresses for the plane-strain tension and tension–compression biaxial stress states when the strain was less than 0.05. In the cylindrical deep drawing simulations, cups are safely drawn when the drawing ratio ranges from 1.8 to 2.0, and the strain localization is predicted at the bottom of the cup wall when the draw ratio is 2.1 or higher. Both the experiments and simulations yield an LDR of 2.0. When the drawing ratio is between 1.8 and 2.0, the predicted cup heights agree with the experimental results. Therefore, the crystal-plasticity simulation accurately predicts the mechanical properties of the specimen as well as the cup height and LDR in cylindrical deep drawing. Although the crystal-plasticity model predicts the LDR accurately, it overestimates the formability.

Surface topography and mechanical properties are strongly influenced by near-tool-tip deformation mechanisms that govern defect formation and residual strain distribution. In this work, we investigate these phenomena using an <em>in situ</em> imaging framework of a prototypical surface generation process, analyzed using a recently developed image correlation method termed Ensemble Averaged Digital Image Correlation (EADIC). This approach enables high-resolution analysis of strain fields near tribological contacts and free surfaces. Kinematic analysis near the tool tip reveals that deformation progresses through three distinct stages: material pinning at the tool tip, internal shear leading to dead zone formation, and subsequent dead zone growth. Correspondingly, three types of surface defects are classified—type 1 defects lacking a specific morphological profile are associated with material pinning, type 2 defects characterized by step-like profiles arise from partial dead zone shearing, and type 3 defects with pronounced steps are formed during complete shearing of dead zones till tool tip. The evolution of these defects is tied to transient stages of near-tip deformation. Investigations reveal that transient force signature during cut can serve as probable indicators of defect type. The experiments also allow us to quantify residual strain near the machined surface, confined to a fraction of the cutting depth, with defects exhibiting elevated strain due to separation from the dead zone. These findings directly link transient deformation dynamics to surface quality, providing a framework for optimizing machining processes to reduce defects and improve performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14311,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Solids and Structures","volume":"320 ","pages":"Article 113464"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144320924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PnCs with broad and adjustable band gaps are highly desirable for applications such as elastic/acoustic filters, waveguides, noise reduction, sensors, and acoustic cloaking devices. To improve the performance of magnetically actuated laminated PnCs composed of HMSMs, a gradient-based topology optimization framework is proposed to maximize the longitudinal elastic wave band gap width.
