Concentration Problem

This paper describes a numerical approach for elastic boundary value problems in the linear, couple-stress theory on the basis of the “indirect fictitious-boundary integral method.” In this approach we introduce appropriate potentials corresponding to those for a concentrated force and a couple in an infinite medium, and reduce the problem to solving the simultaneous Fredholm type integral equations of the first kind. As an example, the stress concentration problem is analyzed for a circular cylinder with a semicircular annular groove under uniaxial tension. The results are obtained for various values of parameters such as Poisson’s ratio ν, characteristic length l, and the ratio ηr of bending, twisting moduli.

In this paper we propose numerical methods for solving interior and exterior boundary-value problems for the Helmholtz and Laplace equations in complex three-dimensional domains. The method is based on their reduction to boundary integral equations in R2. Using the potentials of the simple and double layers, we obtain boundary integral equations of the Fredholm type with respect to unknown density for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems. As a result of applying integral equations along the boundary of the domain, the dimension of problems is reduced by one. In order to approximate solutions of the obtained weakly singular Fredholm integral equations we suggest general numerical method based on spline approximation of solutions and on the use of adaptive cubatures that take into account the singularities of the kernels. When constructing cubature formulas, essentially non-uniform graded meshes are constructed with grading exponent that depends on the smoothness of the input data. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated with some numerical experiments.

Anisotropic And Isotropic Materials

A new non-classical theory of elastic dielectrics is developed using the couple stress and electric field gradient theories that incorporates the couple stress, quadrupole and curvature-based flexoelectric effects. The couple stress theory and an extended Gauss’s law for elastic dielectrics with quadrupole polarization are applied to derive the constitutive relations of this new theory through energy conservation. The governing equations and the complete boundary conditions are simultaneously obtained through a variational formulation based on the Gibbs-type variational principle. The constitutive relations of general anisotropic and isotropic materials with the corresponding independent material constants are also provided, respectively. To illustrate the newly proposed theory and to show the flexoelectric effect in isotropic materials, one pure bending problem of a simply supported beam is analytically solved by directly applying the formulas derived. The analytical results reveal that the flexoelectric effect is present in isotropic materials. In addition, the incorporation of both the couple stress and flexoelectric effects always leads to increased values of the beam bending stiffness.
