Initially, we introduce a novel form for the differential governing equation to the problem. This enables the introduction of a closed-form solution in the limit of infinite stretch. Comparison of this solution to corresponding finite element simulations reveals a neat agreement for stretch ratios larger than 2.5. In the practically important case of a small hole, at the circumference of the hole, the stress concentration factor is 4 and the tangential stretch ratio is twice the applied far-field stretch ratio. These values are double the corresponding ratios in the well-known limit of infinitesimal deformation.","PeriodicalId":49854,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201730","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}

The material consists of an isotropic ground substance that is reinforced in the azimuthal direction with one family of fibers which are taken to be dispersed about that (mean) direction. The natural configuration of the fibers may differ from that of the ground substance, either because the fibers are pre-stretched or because the bonding between the fibers and the ground substance is considered to be imperfect. The axial stretch of the cylindrical membrane is given by a constant value. The input parameters data of the mechanical system, namely, the azimuthal stretch of the cylinder, the fiber dispersion, and the fiber natural configurations, are assumed to be distributed according to three probability distribution functions. In the sensitivity analysis, we apply the Sobol method as well as the Fourier amplitude sensitivity test (FAST) method to determine the way in which variations of the input parameters affect the required inflation pressure and corresponding axial force (output variables). The implementation of the Sobol and FAST methods allows us to account for the interplay of different parameters as well as to identify the most influential parameters in both the pressure–inflation relation and the axial force. The analysis singles out all these aspects showing a rich variety of results.","PeriodicalId":49854,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201732","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 problem has received little attention in the recent literature despite its significance from both practical and theoretical points of view. Classical formulas for the reflection angles and amplitudes of the reflected waves for a homogeneous elastic half-space with no wave attenuation are extended to a particulate metacomposite half-space with wave attenuation. We also include a detailed discussion concerning the reflected plane shear wave and surface compressional wave in the case of an incident shear wave propagating at an incident angle smaller than the critical angle. The efficiency and accuracy of the model are demonstrated via detailed comparisons between the predicted phase velocity and attenuation coefficient of plane waves in an (infinite) entire space and the corresponding results available in the literature. The implications of our results on the reflection of plane waves from the free surface of a hard sphere-filled elastic metacomposite are discussed. We mention that a quantitative validation of our results cannot be made here as a result of the lack of availability of established data in the existing literature.","PeriodicalId":49854,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201734","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}

{"title":"On the existence of Rayleigh waves with full impedance boundary condition","authors":"Pham Thi Ha Giang, Pham Chi Vinh","doi":"10.1177/10812865241266809","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10812865241266809","url":null,"abstract":"The existence of Rayleigh waves (propagating in isotropic elastic half-spaces) with the tangential and normal impedance boundary conditions was investigated. It has been shown that for the tangential impedance boundary condition (TIBC), there always exists a unique Rayleigh wave, while for the normal impedance boundary condition (NIBC), there exists a domain (of impedance and material parameters) in which exactly one Rayleigh wave is possible and outside this domain a Rayleigh wave is impossible. In this paper, we consider the existence of Rayleigh waves with the full impedance boundary condition (FIBC) that contains both TIBC and NIBC. It is shown that the existence picture of Rayleigh waves for this general case is more complicated. It contains domain for which exactly one Rayleigh wave exists, domain where a Rayleigh wave is impossible, and domain for which all three possibilities may occur: two Rayleigh waves exist, one Rayleigh wave exists, and no Rayleigh wave exists at all. The obtained existence results recover the existence results established previously for the cases of TIBC and NIBC. The formulas for the Rayleigh wave velocity are derived. As these formulas are totally explicit, they are very useful in various practical applications, especially in the non-destructive evaluation of the mechanical properties of structures. In order to establish the existence results and derive formulas for the Rayleigh wave velocity, the complex function method, which is based on the Cauchy-type integrals, is employed.","PeriodicalId":49854,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201735","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}

The second gradient effects are also included. First, the existence of a unique solution is proved by using the theory of linear semigroups, and the exponential energy decay is also shown when the constitutive tensors are homogeneous. The analyticity of the semigroup is also discussed in the isotropic case, and its spatial behavior is studied. The spatial exponential decay is also proved. Then, we provide the numerical analysis of a fully discrete approximation obtained by using the finite element method and an implicit Euler scheme. A discrete stability property is shown, and some a priori error estimates are derived, from which the linear convergence is concluded under suitable regularity conditions.

An understanding of how behavior evolves with length scale is essential for evaluating the material’s suitability for certain applications where the interaction volume is so small that the mechanical response originates from individual features rather than a set of features. Here, we apply the Kentucky Random Structure Toolkit (KRaSTk) to metallic foams, which are crucial to many emerging applications, among them shielding against hypervelocity impacts caused by micrometeoroids and orbital debris (MMOD). The variability of properties at feature-scale and mesoscale lengths originating from the inherently random microstructure makes developing predictive models challenging. It also hinders the optimization of components fabricated with such foams, an especially serious problem for spacecraft design where the benefit–cost–mass optimization is overshadowed by the catastrophic results of component failure. To address this problem, we compute the critical transition between the feature-scale, where mechanical properties are determined by individual features, and the mesoscale, where behavior is determined by ensembles of features. At the mesoscale, we compute distributions of properties—with respect to both expectation value and standard variability—that are consistent and predictable. A universal transition is found to occur when the side length of a cubic sample volume is ~10× greater than the characteristic length. Comparing KRaSTk-computed converged stiffness distributions with experimental measurements of a commercial metallic foam found an excellent agreement for both expectation value and standard variability at all reduced densities. Lastly, we observe that the diameter of a representative MMOD strike is ~30× shorter than the feature-scale to mesoscale transition for the foam at any reduced density, strongly implying that individual features will determine response to hypervelocity impacts, rather than bulk, or even mesoscale, structure.","PeriodicalId":49854,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201756","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}
