Though, in many applications like structural bending or tension, the scale separation between macroscopic structure and the foam’s mesostructure like cells size, is relatively weak and the mechanical properties of the foam appear to be size dependent. Positive as well as negative size effects have been observed for certain basic tests of foams, i.e., the material appears either to be more compliant or stiffer than would be expected from larger specimens. Performing tests with sufficiently small specimens is challenging as any disturbances from damage of cell walls during sample preparation or from loading devices must be avoided. Correspondingly, the number of respective data in literature is relatively low and the results are partly contradictory. In order to avoid the problems from sample preparation or bearings, the present study employs virtual tests with CT data of real medium-density ceramic foams. A number of samples of different size is “cut” from the resulting voxel data. Subsequently, the apparent elastic properties of each virtual sample are “measured” directly by a free vibrational analysis using finite cell method, thereby avoiding any disturbances from load application or bearings. The results exhibit a large scatter of the apparent moduli per sample size, but with a clear negative size effect in all investigated basic modes of deformation (bending, torsion, uniaxial). Finally, the results are compared qualitatively and quantitatively to available experimental data from literature, yielding common trends as well as open questions.","PeriodicalId":624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elasticity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135346592","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}

When such materials undergo sufficiently small deformations, the usual approach of appealing to a linearized elastic constitutive relation to describe their response will not allow us to capture the dependence of the material moduli on the density, as this would imply a nonlinear relationship between the stress and the linearized strain in virtue of the balance of mass as dependence on density implies dependence on the trace of the linearized strain. It is possible to capture the dependence of the material moduli on the density, when the body undergoes small deformations, within the context of implicit constitutive relations. We study the stress concentration due to a rigid elliptic inclusion within a new class of implicit constitutive relations in which the stress and the linearized strain appear linearly, that allows us to capture the dependence of the material moduli on the density. We find that the stress concentration that one obtains employing the constitutive relation wherein the material moduli depend on the density can be significantly different from that obtained by adopting the classical linearized elastic constitutive relation to which it reduces to when the density dependence of the material moduli are ignored.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Elasticity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45993934","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}
