The study explores the behavior of a three-layer dome, uniquely designed with discrete, symmetrically placed, lightweight ribs for reinforcement, when subjected to a concentrated impact at its apex. The supporting layers of the dome are made with different thicknesses. Each supporting layer of the dome differs in thickness, offering a complex structure for analysis. In the analysis of the elements of the elastic structure, the Timoshenko model of the theory of shells and rods was used under independent static and kinematic hypotheses for each layer. According to the Hamilton–Ostrogradsky variational principle, the equations of motion of asymmetric three-layer hemispherical shells with a discrete-symmetric lightweight rib-reinforced aggregate under axisymmetric local impulse loading were obtained. An appropriate finite element model of the shell was created, which reflects the relationship between the potential energy of deformations in the body and the potential of applied forces. A detailed finite element model was developed to capture the interplay between the dome’s deformation energy and the force applied, facilitating a nuanced exploration of the dome’s dynamic response. The numerical results of the study of the dynamics of a three-layer elastic structure with asymmetric thickness based on the finite element method were obtained The influence of geometrical and physical–mechanical parameters of asymmetric layers of a spherical dome on its dynamic behavior during a concentrated impact on its top was studied and new mechanical effects were investigated. Through numerical analysis, the dome’s asymmetrical layer thickness and the physical and mechanical characteristics of these layers were examined to determine how they influence the dome’s reaction to concentrated impacts. This investigation reveals novel mechanical behaviors and underscores the significance of geometrical and material properties in the dome’s dynamic performance</p></div>","PeriodicalId":525,"journal":{"name":"Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics","volume":"36 4","pages":"955 - 968"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140919602","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 starting concept is the study of the evolution of velocity and temperature fluctuations. Methods of non-equilibrium thermodynamics are used to describe the magnitude of fluctuations and their properties. The important role of the total enthalpy follows from a variational analysis. Moreover, the thermodynamic criterion of the stability is formulated using the total enthalpy, and compared with experiments, numerical results and classical Rayleigh theory support its applicability. It was shown that the solid body vortex is at the margin of stability, which is experimentally observed. Analogously, the potential vortex is by the thermodynamic criterion stable; however, by the Rayleigh criteria it is on the onset of stability. The classical Taylor experiment of flow between two rotating cylinders is analysed from the point of view of this criterion. These results are underlined by swirl tube experiments at the Institute of Aerospace Thermodynamics at Stuttgart University and the annular nozzle experiments performed in the Institute of Thermomechanics CAS in Prague. Both independent experiments confirm the transformation of the initial annular vortex into a stable potential-type vortex.

The impact of this process is significant as water molecules lead locally to a swelling and a coupling of diffusion and deformation behavior. To model these phenomena, a strongly coupled chemo-mechanical (or diffuso-mechanical) model is required, considering both local water concentration and the viscoelastic material behavior of polyamide. In the present work, we derive and apply such a model to polyamide 6. A diffusion equation describing changes in water concentration is coupled to the balance of linear momentum in polyamide 6. The interaction between deformation and concentration is derived from thermodynamic considerations by introducing a free energy consisting of a mechanical and a chemical part. The mechanical part describes a linear viscoelastic model and includes chemical strains due to the presence of water molecules. The chemical part builds upon the theory of Flory and Huggins, that takes into account changes in enthalpy and entropy of mixing due to the interaction of polymer and water molecules. The coupling of deformation to water concentration arises due to a dependency of the water flux on the hydrostatic stress inside the polyamide. We successfully apply the derived model in Finite-Element simulations to predict the drying of polyamide 6 specimens without any coupling to mechanical loads. In addition, we reproduce experimentally obtained data from relaxation measurements, where the drying of polyamide specimens leads to an increase in relaxation modulus.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":525,"journal":{"name":"Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics","volume":"36 4","pages":"935 - 953"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00161-024-01305-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140890484","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}

Nowadays, where reusability becomes more and more important, materials which can undergo reversible thermomechanical deformations are appealing for, e.g., the construction of car body components. To predict such complex forming processes with multiple influencing factors, such as temperature, strain rate or underlying material morphology, model formulations are needed that account for these influences simultaneously and are validated against experimental data. Unfortunately, up to now only a few contributions are available which consider all these phenomena. In addition, the range of process parameters considered is often narrow due to the experimental effort required for testing. This usually results in limited predictive capabilities of the model. To overcome these limitations, in this work, a thermo-mechanically coupled material model is developed that accounts for the underlying morphology in terms of the degree of crystallinity (DOC). The model formulation is derived in a thermodynamically consistent manner, incorporating coupled nonlinear visco-elastic and elasto-plastic material behavior at finite strains. To characterize and further validate the model, mechanical as well as thermal experiments are conducted for polyamide 6 (PA6). Here, a blending strategy of PA6 together with an amorphous co-polymer is introduced during specimen production to achieve a wider range of stable DOCs(approximately 15%). The model formulation is successfully applied to experimental results and its predictions are in good agreement with experimental observations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":525,"journal":{"name":"Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics","volume":"36 3","pages":"657 - 698"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00161-024-01288-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140329275","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}

In a brazed joint of nickel-based alloys a composition of brittle and ductile phases can be formed if the brazing conditions are not ideal. This heterogeneous microstructure is a crucial challenge for predicting the damage behavior of a brazed joint. The initiation and evolution of microdamage inside of the brittle phase of a virtual dual-phase microstructure representing the material in a brazed joint is studied by means of numerical simulations. A phase field approach for brittle damage is employed on the microscale. The simulation approach is capable of depicting phenomena of microcracking like kinking and branching due to heterogeneous stress and strain fields on the microscale. No information regarding the initiation sites and pathways of microcracks is needed a priori. The reliability of calculating the effective critical energy quantities as a microstructure-based criterion for macroscopic damage is assessed. The effective critical strain energy density and the effective critical energy release rate are evaluated for single-phase microstructures, and the approach is transferred to dual-phase microstructures. The local critical strain energy density turns out to be better suited as a model input parameter on the microscale as well as for a microstructure-based prediction of macroscopic damage compared to a model employing the energy release rate. Regarding the uncertainty of the model prediction, using the effective critical energy release rate leads to a standard deviation which is five times larger than the standard deviation in the predicted effective critical strain energy density.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":525,"journal":{"name":"Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics","volume":"36 4","pages":"775 - 793"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00161-024-01298-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140329194","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}
