In spite of practical importance, the methodology of selection of the parameters of the electric pulse treatment, which would allow to heal the defects, has not been developed yet. Healing of long macrocracks in thin plates by welding of their edges under electric pulse action is of particular difficulty. The present work is devoted to the study of the possibility of selecting the parameters of electric pulse treatment for such a case. The mechanism of healing of macrocracks in flat specimens is considered. The proposed multistage method of electric pulse treatment allowed to heal a significant length of macrocrack in a steel plate. The conducted studies of microstructure of cross-sections of AISI201 stainless steel samples confirm that healing occurs by the mechanism of welding of crack edges by molten material. The electric pulse creates at the tip of the crack significant compressive stress and high temperature, causing the melting of steel. The experiments showed significant heterogeneity of healing along the macrocrack front and in depth, however, the quality of healing improved with increasing distance from the plate surface. In the healed region along the crack edges, a zone with elongated grains surrounding a central zone with equiaxed grains is observed, which reflects the kinetics of cooling of the molten region of the specimen exposed to the current pulse.</p>","PeriodicalId":697,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics of Solids","volume":"59 5","pages":"3223 - 3234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143373383","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 findings reveal that the introduction of stiffeners significantly enhances the structural rigidity of the plates, leading to reduced displacements under applied loads. Very good efficiency was observed where the accuracy of the numerical model improved with increasing load, particularly for the cross-stiffened configuration.

Displacement and velocity curves of the barrel vibration were obtained, and the muzzle vibration in hot and cold states was compared. The study also analyzed the effects of firing loads and the elastic modulus of the barrel material on the barrel’s vibration in a hot state, as well as the applicability of the eccentric rotating stepped beam model. The formation mechanism of the differences in vibration response between hot and cold states was revealed. The research results show that: (1) In both hot and cold states, the muzzle vibration pattern begins with a downward movement of the muzzle, followed by a significant upward motion. After three cycles of forced vibration as the bullet exits the muzzle, the barrel enters a free-damping vibration state until the vibrations dissipate. During Repeated shots, the barrel vibration accumulates, resulting in a larger amplitude than single-shot firing. (2) In the hot state, the barrel’s amplitude and velocity increase, while the vibration frequency decreases. The main reasons for the increased amplitude in the hot state are the decrease in the elastic modulus of the barrel and the increased firing load.

In contrast to these traditional effects, recent studies have identified the emergence of thermopolarization effects, where temperature gradients induce polarization changes in materials, leading to heat flow. Moreover, temperature gradients can also result in strain gradients within the material, which, unlike the piezoelectric effect, can induce polarization, giving rise to the flexoelectric effect. Despite the growing interest in thermopolarization phenomena, there remains a lack of thorough qualitative and quantitative analysis. In this study, we present a thermo-electro-elastic coupling model for an isotropic hollow cylinder incorporating thermopolarization and flexoelectric effects. This model necessitates modifications to the heat conduction equation, constitutive equation, and governing equation. Through numerical simulations, the impact of thermopolarization coefficient and flexoelectric coefficient on radial displacement, temperature, potential, and electrical displacement is investigated. The results show that the steady-state radial displacement and temperature initially increase and then decrease with variations in the thermal polarization coefficient. Moreover, an increase in the thermal polarization coefficient speeds up the thermo-electro-elastic coupling process towards a steady state. Additionally, mutual interactions between flexoelectric and thermal polarization effects are observed.

The results obtained are compared with the analytical solution for the problem of a semi-infinite beam motion loaded at the free end with a transverse force. The peculiarity of this solution is that the change in the stress-strain state of the rod is characterized by a wave front. It is considered that all changes in the state of the beam occur at an infinite speed. All designed solutions are characterized by the presence of a wave front in the beam. It is shown that, in contrast to the transfer of longitudinal disturbances along the length of the beam, which occur at a constant speed, bending disturbances propagate at a variable speed, and, with increasing time, this speed decreases and tends to zero at an infinitely distant point of the beam. It was discovered that the propagation velocity of the wave front during the transfer of concentrated force and concentrated moment differs from each other.

Subsequently, a fuzzy engine is employed to address the nonlinearities and uncertainties of the mathematical model, acting as a compensator for the most accurate model developed in ADAMS software. The comparison between the models in ADAMS and MATLAB is based on their behavioral similarities, each utilizing the same PID controller. Following this, the PID controller in the MATLAB model is replaced with a distinct controller. The new design is then evaluated against the previous PID controller in terms of energy consumption, overshoot, and settling time, demonstrating high-precision outputs when the controller is implemented.
