Contrarily to duoskelion beams, due to the dependence of the deformation energy upon partial derivatives of kinematic quantities along both space directions, the limit model of tetraskelion metamaterials cannot be reduced to an initial value problem describing the motion of an unconstrained particle subjected to a potential. This calls for the development of a finite element formulation taking into account the internal constraint. In this contribution, after introducing the continuum describing tetraskelion metamaterials in terms of its deformation energy, we exploit the Virtual Work Principle to get governing equations in weak form. These equations are then localised to get the equilibrium equations and the associated natural boundary conditions. The feasibility of a Galerkin approach to the approximation of tretraskelion metamaterials is tested on duoskelion beams by defining two different equivalent weak formulations that are discretised and then solved by a Newton–Rhapson scheme for clamped-clamped pulling/pushing tests.

The composite structure consists of two elastic beams connected by an interface layer, and the model uses cohesive zone models to simulate the degradation process at the joint. These cohesive zone models are characterized by non-continuous and linear softening in the relationship between shear stress and relative tangential displacement. The results are expressed using non-dimensional parameters, and the model yields quasi-static equilibrium paths that demonstrate snap-back responses in both force and displacement values. The significance of the research lies in its application to structural engineering, where composite materials are extensively used. The study emphasizes the critical role of the interface layer strength in maintaining the structural integrity of composites. The proposed model advances the understanding of debonding by introducing a constitutive relation for the interface that accounts for the step-wise change in mechanical properties. The governing equations for the cantilever beam are derived, considering the equilibrium of forces and moments, and the relative tangential displacement at the interface. The model delineates three stages of interface degradation: no relative slip, plastic deformation, and progressive debonding. The analytical solutions for each stage provide insights into the beam deflection, shear stress, and axial force distribution.

Thus, we assume that the internal dissipation of the energy depends on the overall relative sliding displacement of the opposite faces in the microcracks under the effects of an applied cyclic load whenever no significant phenomena related to damage occur at the macroscopic level. The dynamic friction term is based on a well-known model for dry friction in solids due to P. R.

The model proposed in this paper takes into account a mechanical energy interchange between both bending and shear distortion in the beam with the sliding occurring at the microcracks, a storage of mechanical energy because of the asperities inside the faces of the microcracks, and the dissipation of the energy that follows from the interaction between the bending and the microcracks.

The solution is obtained by the mixed finite element method within the simplified Toupin–Mindlin strain gradient elasticity theory. A mixed variational formulation of the boundary value problem for displacements–strains–stresses and their gradients is applied, simplifying the choice of approximating functions. The concept of energy balance is adopted to calculate the energy release rate with a virtual increase in crack length. The increment of the potential energy of an elastic body is determined by accounting for the strain and stress gradient contribution. Numerical calculations were performed using a quasi-uniform triangular mesh of the cross-type. The mesh refinement was applied in the vicinity of the crack tip, at the concentrated support, and the point of application of the transverse force, and uniform mesh partitioning was utilized in the rest of the beam. The fine-mesh analysis was carried out on the successively condensed meshes in the stress concentration domain for different values of the length scale parameter. The crack opening displacements and the distribution of strains and Cauchy stresses for various values of the length scale parameter are presented. An increase in this parameter increases the stiffness of the crack, which leads to a decrease in the crack opening displacements and a smooth closure of its faces at the crack tip. In addition, accounting for the scale parameter reduces the calculated values of strains and stresses near the crack tip. Based on the energy balance criterion, local fracture parameters such as the release rate of elastic energy at the crack tip and the stress intensity factor are determined for different values of the mesh step. The numerical calculations indicate the convergence of the obtained approximations. The main feature of solutions, which includes the strain gradient contribution, is the decrease in the values of the calculated parameters associated with the fracture energy compared to the classical elasticity theory.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":525,"journal":{"name":"Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00161-024-01333-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636840","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}
