Elastic Strain Field

The energy stored in the elastic strain field of dislocations in hexagonal ice is calculated using anisotropic elasticity and the most complete set of elastic constants available. Ice is elastically fairly isotropic, and it is proposed that the high mobility of dislocations on the basal plane is due to dissociation of perfect dislocations on this plane.

Dispersive Nature

We introduce a mesoscopic framework that is capable of simulating the evolution of dislocation networks and, at the same time, spatial variations of the stress, strain and displacement fields throughout the body. Within this model, dislocations are viewed as sources of incompatibility of strains. The free energy of a deformed solid is represented by the elastic strain energy that can be augmented by gradient terms to reproduce dispersive nature of acoustic phonons and thus set the length scale of the problem. The elastic strain field that is due to a known dislocation network is obtained by minimizing the strain energy subject to the corresponding field of incompatibility constraints. These stresses impose Peach-Koehler forces on all dislocations and thus drive the evolution of the dislocation network.

ABSTRACTThe formation mechanism and morphology of the tetragonal compound Ni3V (D022) quenched from the disordered fcc (A1) state have been examined by TEM using a Ni-25at%V. The alloy is fully transformed to D022 in the quenched state. The resulting microstructure exhibits a fine brick-like “multi-variant structure (MVS)” consisting of one major and two minor variants with c axes perpendicular each other, having coherent interfaces of {102)D022 and {100)D022. The major variant particles with a quadrangular-prism shape are alternately arrayed with two minor variants, one parallel to {102)D022 and the other {100)D022, respectively. The thermal APDs are formed in the all variants, but the average size within the major is larger than that in the minors. The c/a ratio of the D022 in the MVS is 2.006, much smaller than the value (2.04) in equilibrium state. From all these facts, the transformation of A1→D022 is assumed to proceed through a selective nucleation and growth of tetragonal A6 phase, followed by ordering to D022. The formation of the tetragonal phase produces an anisotropic strain field due to the contraction and expansion of the a and c axes against the cubic matrix. The strain field makes {102)D022 and {100)D022 with the invariant lines become habit, and also drives the selective nucleation and growth of minor variants to minimize the elastic strain energy, thereby leading to the multi-variant structure.

SUMMARYDuring normal animal movements, the forces produced by the locomotor muscles may be greater than, equal to or less than the forces acting on those muscles, the consequences of which significantly affect both the maximum force produced and the energy consumed by the muscles. Lengthening (eccentric)contractions result in the greatest muscle forces at the lowest relative energetic costs. Eccentric contractions play a key role in storing elastic strain energy which, when recovered in subsequent contractions, has been shown to result in enhanced force, work or power outputs. We present data that support the concept that this ability of muscle to store and recover elastic strain energy is an adaptable property of skeletal muscle. Further, we speculate that a crucial element in that muscle spring may be the protein titin. It too seems to adapt to muscle use, and its stiffness seems to be`tuned' to the frequency of normal muscle use.

Elastostatic Problem

The axisymmetric elastostatic problem of a cracked sphere embedded in a dissimilar matrix is solved by using the solution for a spherical cavity in an infinite medium together with the axisymmetric solution for a cracked sphere given in the companion paper in this issue of the Journal of Applied Mechanics, Pages 538-544. Numerical results are presented for (a) interface stress for various composites (b) dependence of the stress-intensity factor on the material parameters and ratios of crack to sphere radii, (c) the difference in the elastic strain energy for a cracked and uncracked composite.

The prediction of rockburst proneness is the basis of preventing and controlling rockburst disasters in rock engineering. Based on energy theory and damage mechanics, the quantitative functional relationship between joint density and energy density was derived. Then, the theoretical results were verified by numerical simulation and uniaxial compression test, and the effect of joint density on rockburst proneness of the elastic-brittle-plastic rock mass was discussed. The results show that the relationship between the joint density and the dissipated energy index of the jointed rock mass is a logarithmic function. With the same total input energy, the higher the joint density, the more the damage dissipation energy. Even in the case of high joint density, the rock mass still has limited resistance to external failure. Under the same joint density, the strength of parallel jointed rock mass is better than that of the cross-jointed rock mass, and the parallel jointed rock mass can accumulate more elastic strain energy and has higher rockburst proneness. The joint density is closely related to the ability of the rock mass to store high strain energy. The higher the joint density is, the weaker the ability to accumulate the elastic strain energy of rock mass is and the lower the rockburst proneness is. It is helpful to predict rockburst proneness by investigating and studying the properties of geological discontinuities. The research results have some theoretical and engineering guiding significance for the prediction of rockburst proneness of the jointed rock mass.

The dynamic in-plane instability process of extreme point type for pin-ended arches when a central radial load applied suddenly with infinite duration is analyzed with finite element method in this study. The state of arch can be determined by the crown’s vertical displacement varied with time and the critical load can be obtained by repeating trial-calculation. When the arch structure reaches the dynamically stable critical state, the kinetic energy of the structure is very small or even zero. The dynamic critical load of elastic arch calculated with the theoretical analysis method which is based on energy principle is proved accuracy enough by comparing with the finite element calculation results and the percentage of the differences between them are no more than 4.5 %. The maximal elastic strain energy is certain for the elastic-plastic arch in certain geometry under both a sudden load and static load. The maximal elastic strain energy in static calculation can be used in determining the state of the elastic-plastic arch under dynamic sudden loads applied and this method is more accurate which errors won’t exceed 3.5 %. The accuracy of dynamic critical load calculation method for elastic arch is verified by numerical calculation in this study, and based on the characteristic of elastic strain energy in critical state, a method for determining the stability of elastic-plastic arch is presented.

The mechanical properties of rubber-like materials have been offering an outstanding challenge to the solid mechanics community for a long time. The behaviour of such materials is quite difficult to predict because rubber self-organizes into mesoscopic physical structures that play a prominent role in determining their complex, history-dependent and strongly nonlinear response. In this framework one of the main problems is to find a functional form of the elastic strain-energy that best describes the experimental data in a mathematical feasible way. The aim of this paper is to give a survey of recent advances aimed at solving such a problem.
