However, the real stress distribution is usually nonuniform. In order to obtain the stress distribution in the direction of ultrasound propagation, in this paper, we propose a new approach: the inversion of residual stress. In the theory part, the inversion of residual stress is transformed into an optimization problem. The objective function is established, and the gradient of the objective function to the stress is derived using the adjoint method, which has been maturely applied in full waveform inversion. In the numerical simulation part, the welding process is simulated using the finite element method to obtain a database of the residual stress field. Then the residual stress is evaluated by inversion approach and the influence of the number of sources and receivers and the frequency of the excitation wave on the inversion effect is discussed. The results show that the inversion of residual stress is still challenging with a small amount of data, but a more accurate inversion can be obtained by appropriately increasing the number of sources and receivers. This study provides an appropriate method for the evaluation of residual stress distribution and lays the theoretical and simulation foundation for the application of ultrasonic stress testing in it.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49846,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics Research Communications","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 104399"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143548556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach provides explicit expressions for deflection as a function of the axial coordinate for various traction–separation laws (TSL) and different external loading conditions. For a given cohesive zone length, the solutions are presented in a closed analytical form. Once the deflection function is derived, the length of the interaction zone is related to TSL parameters, bending stiffness, and applied loads through transcendental equations, which are solved numerically. To validate the accuracy of the derived expressions, results are compared with numerical solutions obtained via finite element analysis. The good agreement observed between the analytical and numerical solutions confirms the robustness of the proposed method and its ability to accurately capture both global (deflection) and local (cohesive traction distribution) behavior. Compared to general solutions for semi-infinite beams found in the literature, eigenfunction series offer greater flexibility, accommodating a wider range of boundary conditions and loading types.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49846,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics Research Communications","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 104391"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143535030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown both experimentally and analytically that the use of thicker steel reinforcements does not lead to further significant improvements. The best mechanical performance is achieved in each configuration by the first epoxy adhesive.

The effective elastic properties (bulk modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio) of two–dimensional heterogeneous materials are estimated by the finite element numerical homogenization technique. To this end, three constructs were used to investigate the effect of auxetic behavior on effective properties. The matrix of the first structure has auxetic behavior, Negative Poisson's Ratio NPR, the circular inclusions are elastic with Positive Poisson's Ratio PPR. The inclusions of another structure are circular auxetic material, the matrix is elastic material. The last case is that both matrix and inclusions possess auxetic property. And taking into account five different volume fractions from each case. The concept of Representative Volume Element RVE is introduced, in which the homogenization numerical simulation based on finite element is carried out. The effectiveness of numerical calculation is verified by applying two boundary, periodic boundary conditions and kinematic uniform boundary conditions. We demonstrate that by mixing auxetic and non–auxetic phases into composites, it is possible to preserve some of the unique properties of auxetic materials while enhancing the unique properties of traditional single–phase materials. The strengthening effect is controlled by Poisson's ratio of each phase, elastic modulus, and shape of inclusions. Studying the strengthening effect of composite auxetic materials can provide a reference for designing composite materials with new properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49846,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics Research Communications","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 104389"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143508289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
