This study aims to understand the impact of stacked GO on the interfacial structures and mechanical properties of cement-based composites from an atomistic insight. Structurally, it was observed that GO forms hydrogen bonds with surface-adsorbed water through its functional groups, which subsequently interact with calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) to create a cohesive structure. Additionally, stacked GO layers are interconnected through hydrogen bonds formed between their oxidized functional groups. During tensile and shear processes, interface failure primarily occurs between the stacked GO layers rather than at the interface between the GO layer and C-S-H. This is due to the relatively weak interlayer forces and lower interfacial energy dissipation capacity between the stacked GO layers compared to the GO/C-S-H interface. Mechanically, a monolayer of GO resulted in significant improvements in the mechanical properties of C-S-H, with the tensile strength, Young's modulus, shear strength, and shear modulus increased by 77.4%, 19.0%, 25.2%, and 7.6%, respectively. Conversely, stacked GO weakened the mechanical properties of C-S-H, with three GO layers causing a 38.5% reduction in tensile strength and a 14.6% reduction in shear strength. These atomic-level insights enhance our understanding of the interfacial structures and mechanical properties of calcium silicate hydrate reinforced with stacked GO.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":456,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica","volume":"236 4","pages":"2551 - 2566"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809202","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}

Developing a new generation of auxetic metamaterials with enhanced mechanical properties drives the need for innovative sandwich structures. Accordingly, this study assesses the influence of a novel bio-inspired butterfly-shaped auxetic core on the stability of axially compressed sandwich toroidal shell segments (TSSs), aiming to improve upon traditional re-entrant auxetic structures. The primary focus is to evaluate how this new auxetic design enhances shell stability, which is crucial for advancing lightweight, high-performance structures. Inspired by butterfly wing structures, the butterfly-shaped core improves stiffness and exhibits a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR), leading to superior stability. The face sheets are reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in a polymer matrix, with either uniform (UD) or functionally graded (FG) distributions. A three-parameter model represents the Kerr-type elastic foundation, consisting of a central shear layer and two spring layers. The governing equations are derived using von Kármán shell theory and Stein and McElman approximations, with the Galerkin method applied to establish nonlinear load–deflection relationships under simply supported boundary conditions. Validation against existing studies confirms the model's accuracy. Results show that the butterfly-shaped auxetic core outperforms traditional re-entrant structures in terms of stability, critical buckling loads, and postbuckling behavior. The effects of core unit cell geometry, elastic foundation parameters, shell geometry, and CNT distribution are also examined. These findings provide valuable insights into the design of lightweight metamaterial TSSs with NPR.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":456,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica","volume":"236 4","pages":"2463 - 2480"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809167","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}

A two-dimensional theory for an arbitrary orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system is derived from the three-dimensional macroscopic theory of flexoelectric semiconductors by using the Kirchhoff–Love shell theory. A combination of physical and geometric parameters is introduced to measure the strength of the coupling between mechanical loads and the redistribution of charge carriers. A trigonometric series solution is obtained for a simply supported rectangular shell structure subjected to a localized normal mechanical load, revealing the concentration of mobile charges and the formation of electrical potential barriers near the loading area. These results are fundamental for the mechanical manipulation of mobile carrier transport in such shell structures. The results indicate that the FS curved nanoshell structure facilitates the redistribution of mobile carriers, correlating with an increase in electrical potential. This work serves as a starting point for understanding the significance of geometric structure on flexoelectric coupling and carrier transport, providing an effective approach to address issues related to nanoscale shell structures in multi-physical field coupling.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":456,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica","volume":"236 4","pages":"2481 - 2507"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809166","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}

These boundaries are determined by the combined use of Routh–Hurwitz Stability Criterion and the root-locus plots to visualize the unique behavior of the dynamics of the Ziegler Column. Such an approach reveals clearly the reasons and the combination of the column design parameters that give rise to the observed and well-known phenomenon of the “<i>Ziegler Paradox</i>”. In that paradox, unequal dissipative damping forces in the joints induce a destabilizing effect even though the magnitude of these forces can be fairly small. The paradox has been reported in numerous studies indicating that this destabilizing effect is contrary to the common believe that damping is expected to generally have a stabilizing effect. For the undamped Ziegler column, it is found that the stability is achieved when the follower force <i>F</i> is less than 2.54 k with <i>k</i> denoting the equal stiffness of the springs in the joints. For Ziegler columns with equally damped joints, it is found that stability can be attained when the follower force <i>F</i> is less than <span>(1.2c^{2} + 1.46k)</span> with <i>c</i> denoting the equal damping coefficient. But, columns with asymmetrical, or unequal, damping in the joints are found to be always unstable. It is envisioned that the use of the stability tools of the control systems theory enables a better understanding and visualization of the interactions of the design parameters that influence the column stability.
