With such concerns as our motivation, we model thin elastic surfaces as von Kármán plates and generalize the classical von Kármán equations, which are restricted to smooth fields, to fields which are piecewise smooth, and can possibly concentrate at singular curves, in addition to being singular at isolated points. The inhomogeneous sources to the von Kármán equations, given in terms of plastic strains, defect induced incompatibility, and body forces, are likewise allowed to be singular at isolated points and curves in the domain. The generalized framework is used to discuss the singular nature of deformation and stress arising due to conical deformations, folds, and folds terminating at a singular point.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elasticity","volume":"153 4-5","pages":"681 - 713"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4261199","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}

First, the basic equations of the second gradient theory of thermoelasticity are presented. The boundary conditions for thermal displacement are derived. The field equations for homogeneous and isotropic solids are established. Then, a uniqueness result for the basic boundary-initial-value problems is presented.

Explicit asymptotic formulas are given for the stress, strain and the incompatible distortion near the curved dislocation. These formulas are used to analyze the main object of the paper, the renormalized energy. The core-cutoff method is used to introduce that notion: first, a core in the form of a curved tube along the dislocation loop is removed; then, the energy of the complement is determined (= the core-cutoff energy). As in the case of a straight dislocation, the core-cutoff energy has a singularity that is proportional to the logarithm of the core radius. The renormalized energy is the limit, as the radius tends to 0, of the core-cutoff energy minus the singular logarithmic part.

Starting from the pioneering work of J.L. Ericksen (J. Elast. 5(3):191–201, 1975) and the extensions of R.L. Fosdick and other authors to three-dimensional non linear elasticity, we describe the insurgence of damage as a hard → soft transition between two material states (damage and undamaged) characterized by two different energy wells. We consider the two separate constitutive assumptions of a simple Neo-Hookean type damageable material and a more complex microstructure inspired damageable Gent type material with variable limit threshold of the first invariant. In both cases we study two different deformation shear classes, one homogeneous and the other one inhomogeneous and obtain fully analytic description of the system damage response under cyclic loading. The considered constitutive assumptions and deformation classes are aimed at attaining fully analytic descriptions. On the other hand, we remark that the proposed, Griffith type, variational approach of damage, based on two different energy density functions for the damaged and undamaged material phases, and a resulting non (rank-one) convex energy, can be extended to systems with more complex energy functions, possibly with a larger number of wells representing an increasing degree of damage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elasticity","volume":"154 1-4","pages":"325 - 344"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42465134","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}
