Different from the classical elastic solid, there are: a non-dispersive dilatational propagating wave, a dispersive transverse propagating wave and a dispersive evanescent wave in a couple-stress elastic solid. The boundary conditions at the visco-elastically supported surface of a couple-stress elastic half-space include the couple-stress vector and the rotation vector, which disappear in the classical elastic solid. They are used to obtain a set of linear algebraic equation, from which the amplitude ratios of reflection waves with respect to the incident wave can be determined. Then, the reflection coefficients in terms of energy flux ratios are calculated numerically, and the normal energy flux conservation is used to validate the numerical results. At last, the influence of the boundary parameters that reflect the mechanical behavior of a viscoelastic support on the amplitude ratio, the phase shift and the energy partition of reflection waves are discussed based on the numerical results. Both the incident longitudinal displacement wave (the P-wave) and incident transverse displacement wave (the SV-wave) are considered. It is found that the instantaneous elasticity and the delayed viscosity of a viscoelastic support have different influences on the reflection waves.","PeriodicalId":8280,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Mechanics","volume":"69 1","pages":"131-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2017-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45335530","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 bias-type reciprocating rotary actuator was composed of the pretwisted SME tape and the flat SE tape in series. The design chart expressed by the relationship between torque and twisting angle of the SME tape and the SE tape was proposed. The rotational angle and torque, which vary depending on temperature, can be estimated based on the design chart. The rotational angle is controlled by adjusting the mounting angle of the SME tape and the heating temperature. The automatically opening and closing blind driven by sunlight was demonstrated. The blind was controlled by using the reciprocating rotary element composed of the SME tape and the SE tape.

The laminate is composed of a homogeneous elastic strip and a functionally graded layer, perfectly bonded along their interface. The mechanical properties of the graded layer are modeled by an exponentially varying shear modulus and constant Poisson’s ratio. Both the governing equations and the boundary conditions of the double contact problem are converted into a pair of singular integral equations by Fourier integral transforms, which are numerically integrated by Chebyshev–Gauss quadrature. The contact pressure and the contact size at both the advancing and the receding contact interface are eventually obtained by an iterative algorithm, developed from the method of steepest descent. Extensive parametric studies suggest that it is possible to control contact stress and contact size by introducing functionally graded materials into multilayered elastic structures.","PeriodicalId":8280,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Mechanics","volume":"69 1","pages":"199-221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2017-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45390411","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}

Such response cannot be described within the classical theory of Cauchy elasticity wherein a linearization of the nonlinear strain leads to the classical linearized elastic response. A new framework for elasticity has been put into place in which one can justify rigorously a nonlinear relationship between the linearized strain and stress. Here, we consider one such model based on a power-law relationship. Previous attempts at describing such response have been either limited to the response of one particular material, e.g. Gum Metal, or involved a model with more material moduli, than the model considered in this work. For the uniaxial response of several metallic alloys, the model that is being considered fits experimental data exceedingly well.","PeriodicalId":8280,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Mechanics","volume":"69 1","pages":"223-241"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2017-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42846422","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}
