The shift and jump-down point are therefore often used to infer the mechanical properties that underlie the nonlinear response, particularly the resonator’s stretching modulus. To facilitate this, the resonators’ dynamics are often modelled using a Galerkin-type numerical approach or lumped ordinary differential equations like the Duffing equation, that incorporate an appropriate nonlinearity. To understand the source of the problem’s nonlinearities, we first develop an axisymmetric but spatially-varying model of a membrane resonator subject to a uniform oscillatory load with linear damping. We then derive asymptotic solutions for the resulting partial differential equations (PDEs) using the Method of Multiple Scales (MS), which allows a systematic reduction to a Duffing-like equation with analytically determined coefficients. We also solve the PDEs numerically via the method of lines. By comparing the numerical solutions with the asymptotic results, we demonstrate that the numerical approach reveals a non-constant maximum compliance with increasing load, which contradicts the predictions of the MS analysis. In contrast, we show that combining a Galerkin decomposition with the Harmonic Balance Method accurately captures the non-constant maximum compliance and reliably predicts jump-down behaviour. We analyse the resulting frequency–response predictions derived from these methods. We also argue that fitting based on the jump-down point may be sensitive to noise and discuss strategies for fitting frequency–response curves from experimental data to theory that are robust to this.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 104933"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142593172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under different modes of remotely applied mechanical stresses, two different intuitive architectures of functional gradations for the intrinsic cell wall materials are proposed. The large-deformation nonlinear lattices result in broadband modulation of effective stiffness, and an unprecedented manipulation capability of failure modes and corresponding strengths covering ductile and brittle types depending on architected material gradation. For estimating the nonlinear elasticity and microstructural stresses as a measure of failure mode for the proposed functionally graded lattices undergoing large deformation, a multi-scale mechanics-based semi-analytical framework is developed. Geometrically nonlinear functionally graded beams with generalized material gradation, integrated with unit cell architectures, are analyzed through iterative variational energy principle-based Ritz approach. Based on the developed physically insightful computational framework, effective nonlinear elastic properties and failure modes of the functionally graded honeycomb lattices are tailored as a function of the intrinsic material gradation at the lower length scale.

A chemo-mechanical framework can suitably explain the deformations of the electrode and the generation of diffusion-induced stresses (DIS). Various experimental works have shown that the effects of DIS further cause the active material to lose its structural stability. However, relatively few frameworks exist that can investigate such phenomena in a comprehensive manner. These are mainly based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and the von-Karman plate theory. In the present work we present a generalized three-dimensional instability framework incorporating the theory of incremental deformation. We use this theory on a widely used chemo-mechanical framework. Notably, similar existing instability investigations on negative electrode materials are based only on incompressible material behaviour. As opposed to it, in this work we have considered a compressible material. Also, we account for the spatial and temporal nature of growth, which is a significant departure from the existing instability frameworks. Therefore, this current work brings the investigation of structural instability of electrode material closer to physical reality. In our study, we use the compound matrix method to find the critical lithiation parameter. Then we consider three sets of problems, each with a particular combination of boundary conditions applied on the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of hollow cylindrical anode particles. These are free-free, fixed-free, and free-fixed, where each combination represents a particular type of interaction between an electrode particle and its surroundings. Most importantly, we find that the free-free and fixed-free conditions show only a pure axial and mixed mode of instability, and do not show the pure circumferential mode. The free-fixed conditions, however, shows all three modes of instability. Additionally, the presence of mode crossover makes the instability pattern of such electrode particles significant.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 104926"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527092","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 fluid is modeled as a third-order viscoelastic fluid. This study accentuates how salting the fluid layer affects the thresholds for the onset of instability in a fluid of third order encompassing physically realistic rigid boundaries. The dynamic model incorporates advection-diffusion of temperature and solute concentration and a modified Navier–Stokes equation. We determine instability thresholds for the complex non-Newtonian fluid by analyzing the linear stability of the steady-state conduction solution. Our analysis proves the strong form of the principle of exchange of stabilities, demonstrating that convective motions can only occur through stationary motion. Additionally, a nonlinear stability analysis using the energy method is performed, deriving an unconditional nonlinear stability criterion. The results provide a comprehensive understanding of how variable viscosity and viscoelasticity impact system stability. Both the viscosity parameter and the third-grade fluid parameter exhibit stabilizing effects. Notably, we observe a discrepancy between the linear and global nonlinear stability results, indicating the presence of a subcritical instability region.

Aiming at resolving these drawbacks, two main contributions are achieved in the present work. First, the angular velocity is independently interpolated, resulting in a constant mass matrix and explicitly representable inertial forces, which can offer significant advantages for efficient dynamic simulations. Second, inspired by the assumed natural strain method in shell theory, the stretch-shear strain is interpolated to obtain simplified and locking-free elastic forces, which is a new attempt to alleviate the locking problems for the GEBFs. In addition, the special orthogonal group SO(3) is utilized for updating incremental rotation vectors to eliminate singularities, and objective strain measurement is achieved by employing relative rotation vector interpolation. The effectiveness and superiority of the developed low-order and high-order elements are demonstrated through numerical simulations of standard benchmark examples.
