The same connection between the operators of the equilibrium equations and the Cauchy strain tensor also holds in the three-dimensional case. Three variants of the derivation of the conditions for the compatibility of Cauchy deformations are given. In the four-dimensional case, there are 21 compatibility conditions, and in the three-dimensional case, there are six Saint-Venant compatibility conditions. It is shown that the Cauchy strain tensor, both in Eulerian and Lagrangian variables, completely determines the deformed state of a continuous medium. At the same time, no restrictions on the amount of displacements, deformations or rotations are required. The Lagrange-Green and Euler-Almancy tensors, the so-called large or finite deformations, and the displacements are expressed using Cesaro formulas in terms of the Cauchy strain tensor. The defining equations of an elastic continuous medium relate the Cauchy true stress tensor and the Cauchy strain tensor one to another. Using proper bases in the spaces of symmetric stress and strain tensors, the de ning relations can be written as six separate independent equations containing functions of only one argument. For continuous media with crystallographic symmetries, we can use the bases obtained on the basis of the generalized Hooke’s law.</p>","PeriodicalId":697,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics of Solids","volume":"60 3","pages":"1625 - 1639"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145028227","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 influence of the active medium on the creep and long-term strength of the shell is determined by the diffusion penetration of medium elements into the shell material. Using the kinetic theory by Yu. Rabotnov, we have determined the destruction time of such a shell under unsteady loading. A singular linear fractional model of creep and long-term strength, in which the ultimate strength of the material at the appropriate temperature plays the role of the ultimate stress, is used. To take into account the accumulation of damage during creep and determine the criterion before failure, scalar and vector damage parameters are used, while the components of the vector damage parameter are related to the space of principal stresses. To estimate the rate of the diffusion process, an approximate method for solving the diffusion equation is used, based on the introduction of a diffusion front. Taking into account the influence of the medium on the time to failure is carried out by introducing a function of the integral average concentration into the constitutive and kinetic linear fractional relations. A comparison of time to fracture using scalar and vector damage parameters has been carried out. The features of using a linear fractional model to describe processes of long-term destruction are determined.</p>","PeriodicalId":697,"journal":{"name":"Mechanics of Solids","volume":"60 3","pages":"1650 - 1665"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145028291","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}

Initially, a detailed model of the parallel mechanism comparator was established, accompanied by the construction of a spatial coordinate system. Utilizing screw theory, the mechanism’s degrees of freedom were rigorously analyzed to ensure optimal mobility and constraint conditions. Subsequently, inverse kinematic equations were derived, enabling the computational filtering of coordinate points that satisfy system constraints. The workspace of the mechanism was then mapped, with particular emphasis on investigating the influence of motor stroke length on the reachable spatial volume. Finally, kinematic simulations of the actuator-driven parallel mechanism were performed to assess output stability and dynamic behavior. The results demonstrate that the designed parallel mechanism comparator achieves an extensive workspace and exhibits stable actuator performance, confirming its potential to significantly improve measurement efficiency.

The governing equations account for Coriolis and centrifugal forces due to rotation, as well as laser-induced carrier dynamics. A key contribution of this work is the use of Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) with Sobol indices to systematically evaluate the influence of physical parameters on reflection amplitudes. The results reveal that nonlocal effects soften the stress field, reducing reflection by dispersing energy across microstructural scales, while temperature-dependent conductivity alters thermal gradients and stress localization.

Then, Lagrange multiplier method was used to establish exact dynamic equation considering coupling effects of clearance, wear, and elastic deformation of component. Finally, influence of different parameters on dynamic and wear characteristics were analyzed, and nonlinear characteristics were studied through phase diagrams, Poincaré maps, and maximum Lyapunov exponents. The results indicate that wear intensifies irregularity of clearance surface contour, leading to an increase in the instability of dynamic response and a decrease in motion accuracy.
