The beam is rested on periodic supports and is modelled as a Euler-Bernoulli elastic beam. Based on the linearized stability equation and propagator transfer matrix approach for a multi-span finite length beam the stability equation and solutions of the several boundary value problems are obtained. While the Floquet-Bloch theory is widely used in dynamic problem of phononic and photonic structures conditions, its application to the solution of infinite length beam static stability problem is novel. The stability values of the periodic infinite beam model are in very good agreement with the one of the finite length multi-span beams.","PeriodicalId":508156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mechanics","volume":"57 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140440413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research utilizes the Gent model of hyperelasticity to analyze the propagation of Lamb waves in a magnetically induced deformed compressible plate. In this investigation we explore both finite deformations and incremental wave propagation in nonlinear hard-magnetic soft materials. The main objective is to formulate the elastic tensor and relevant wave equations within the framework of Lagrangian space. To assess the dispersion characteristics of the guided wave, the study introduces and discusses an extension of the Semi Analytical Finite Element (SAFE) method. Using this numerical approach, the research further examines the effects of magnetic flux densities and its orientation with respect to wave propagation direction on the dispersion characteristics of the fundamental Lamb modes. The study starts by examining the limiting case of the neo-Hookean material model to explain such inherent dependencies. These dependencies are then further emphasized by including the strain-stiffening effect that the Gent material model describes. The research findings reveal the presence of a threshold applied magnetic flux, beyond which the Gent-type material may undergo a snap-through instability, resulting in changes in the dispersion characteristics of the fundamental symmetric Lamb mode.","PeriodicalId":508156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mechanics","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140451350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike conventional methods that divide the higher-order stress, this theory focuses on dividing the plastic strain gradient into energetic and dissipative components. The moment stress that arises from minimizing a dissipating potential demonstrates a nonlinear evolution over time, resembling the Armstrong-Frederick nonlinear kinematic hardening rule in classical plasticity. The thermodynamically consistent framework establishes additional dissipation in the dissipation inequality. The energetic moment stress saturates as the effective plastic strain increases during plastic flow. In contrast to the Gurtin-type non-incremental model, the proposed model smoothly captures the apparent strengthening at saturation without causing a stress jump. A passivated shear layer is analytically assessed to demonstrate that the proposed theory exhibits the same amount of dissipation as the existing Gurtin-type model when they show similar shear responses at saturation. It is also shown that the plastic flow remains continuous under non-proportional loading conditions using an intermediately passivated shear layer problem. Finally, the proposed theory is validated against a recent experiment involving combined bending torsion of an L-shaped beam using a 3D finite element solution. Overall, the proposed model provides an alternative approach to evaluating the size effect within the non-incremental isotropic strain gradient plasticity theory without introducing any stress jump.","PeriodicalId":508156,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mechanics","volume":"14 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139958666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
