Micromechanical Damage Model

Strain hardening behavior can be observed in steel fiber reinforced concretes under tensile loads. In this paper, a statistical micromechanical damage framework is presented for the strain hardening steel fiber reinforced concrete (SH-SFRC) considering the interfacial slip-softening and matrix spalling effects. With a linear slip-softening interface law, an analytical model is developed for the single steel fiber pullout behavior. The crack bridging effects are reached by averaging the contribution of the fibers with different inclined angles. Afterwards, the traditional snubbing factor is modified by considering the fiber snubbing and the matrix spalling effects. By adopting the Weibull distribution, a statistical micromechanical damage model is established with the fracture mechanics based cracking criteria and the stress transfer distance. The comparison with the experimental results demonstrates that the proposed framework is capable of reproducing the SH-SFRC’s uniaxial tensile behavior well. Moreover, the impact of the interfacial slip-softening and matrix spalling effects are further discussed with the presented framework.

This paper addresses the transverse vibration of a nematic elastomer (NE) beam embedded in soft viscoelastic surroundings with the aim to clarify a new dissipation mechanism caused by dynamic soft elasticity of this soft material. Based on the viscoelasticity theory of NEs in low-frequency limit and the Timoshenko beam theory, the governing equation of motion is derived by using the Hamilton principle and energy method, and is solved by the complex modal analysis method. The dependence of vibration property on the intrinsic parameters of NEs (director rotation time, rubber relaxation time, anisotropic parameter) and foundation (spring, shear and damping constants) are discussed in detail. The results show that dynamic soft elasticity leads to anomalous anisotropy of energy transfer and attenuation. The relative stiffer foundation would restraint the rubber dissipation of viscoelastic beams, but has less influence on the director rotation dissipation, which is particular for NE beams. This study would provide a useful guidance in the dynamic design of NE apparatus embedded in soft viscous media.
