Abstract The first two sections of this paper deal with the necessity for amending the classical Newtonian equations by assuming a nonlinear stress-strain curve in order to account for the presence of a considerable amount of second harmonic of the test frequency in the restoring forces in a rubber, in both forced-vibration and positive-displacement dynamic testers. The nonlinear stress-strain curve is applied also to a damped free-vibration curve of the Yerzley type, and is shown to account for the asymmetry of the envelope of the vibration curve. The latter part of the paper obtains a relationship between the dynamic modulus of loaded rubbers and amplitude of vibration, leading to equations analogous to those used in rheology to deal with rate of shear effects in non-Newtonian liquids, and to explain the effects of fillers on the static modulus and hardness of vulcanized rubbers. A resonance curve from a resonant vibrator is analyzed and the variation of modulus with amplitude is shown to exhibit the typical thixotropic effect associated with loaded rubbers subjected to vibrations. The last section discusses how the decrease of modulus with increasing amplitude can be attributed to two different mechanisms: (1) thixotropic breakdown of filler structure, (2) in compression, nonlinearity of the stress-strain curve.

Abstract The influence of carbon black loading on the dynamic properties of statically deformed elastomers has been investigated. The energy loss per cycle was found to increase according to the square of the strain amplification factor as expressed by the Guth-Gold-Einstein equation. The dynamic complex modulus |E*| is approximately equal to the static modulus obtained from the slope of the static stress-strain curve. The influence of carbon black loading on E* can, therefore, be predicted from its influence on the static stress-strain curve which was found to be governed by the first power of the strain amplification factor. The tangent of the loss angle can thus be predicted from |E*| and the energy loss per cycle. It does not only depend upon the dynamic viscosity of the material; it also depends upon the shape of the stress-strain curve as well.

Smart materials are being utilized in many fields and different external stimuli are used to change specific properties of these materials. In this research, a novel method was developed to design a structure with the desired nonlinear effective Young’s modulus. This method is geometric based where the structures are designed with a gap between them. These structures exhibit nonlinear elastic response. Wide range of structures with desired stress–strain curve can be generated using this approach. First, a unit cell was designed and later used to create a periodic structure. Numerical simulations have been exploited to prove the efficiency of the method. A prototype was manufactured by the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing method. The compression test was performed on the structure. Both simulations and experimental results proved that the effective Young’s modulus of the structure can be increased up to 142%. Second, the designed unit cell was optimized using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to achieve a cell with desired nonlinear stress–strain curve. This cell was optimized considering five effective geometric parameters to alter the effective Young’s modulus of the cell. Finally, a periodic structure was created by repeating a cell with two different gap’s distances. A structure with a desired stress–strain curve was designed using the same method.

This paper deals with determining the dependence of the value of the static modulus of elasticity of concrete in compression on the number of loading cycles. The deformation of specimens during multiple cyclic loading was measured in the elastic region of the stress-strain curve for concrete. The specimens were subjected to up to 1500 loading cycles. The main goal of the experiment was to ascertain whether the multiple cyclic loading causes significant changes in the static modulus of elasticity.

Abstract We discuss the nonlinear elastic response in scale invariant solids. Following previous work, we split the analysis into two basic options: according to whether scale invariance (SI) is a manifest or a spontaneously broken symmetry. In the latter case, one can employ effective field theory methods, whereas in the former we use holographic methods. We focus on a simple class of holographic models that exhibit elastic behaviour, and obtain their nonlinear stress-strain curves as well as an estimate of the elasticity bounds — the maximum possible deformation in the elastic (reversible) regime. The bounds differ substantially in the manifest or spontaneously broken SI cases, even when the same stress- strain curve is assumed in both cases. Additionally, the hyper-elastic subset of models (that allow for large deformations) is found to have stress-strain curves akin to natural rubber. The holographic instances in this category, which we dub black rubber, display richer stress- strain curves — with two different power-law regimes at different magnitudes of the strain.

The present study deals with the extended version of our previous research work. In this article, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry and engineering stress–strain curve of the cold metal transfer (CMT) weldment, a MATLAB based application window (second version) is developed with certain modifications. In the first version, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry, apart from weld bead characteristics, x and y coordinates (24 from each) of the extracted points are considered. Finally, in the first version, 53 output values (five for weld bead characteristics and 48 for x and y coordinates) are predicted using both multiple regression analysis (MRA) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) technique to get an idea related to the complete weld bead geometry without performing the actual welding process. The obtained weld bead shapes using both the techniques are compared with the experimentally obtained bead shapes. Based on the results obtained from the first version and the knowledge acquired from literature, the complete shape of weld bead obtained using ANFIS is in good agreement with the experimentally obtained weld bead shape. This motivated us to adopt a hybrid technique known as ANFIS (combined artificial neural network and fuzzy features) alone in this paper for predicting the weld bead shape and engineering stress–strain curve of the welded joint. In the present study, an attempt is made to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction when the number of trials is reduced to half and increasing the number of data points from the macrograph to twice. Complete weld bead geometry and the engineering stress–strain curves were predicted against the input welding parameters (welding current and welding speed), fed by the user in the MATLAB application window. Finally, the entire weld bead geometries were predicted by both the first and the second version are compared and validated with the experimentally obtained weld bead shapes. The similar procedure was followed for predicting the engineering stress–strain curve to compare with experimental outcomes.

Abstract We have investigated a relation between micromechanical processes and the stress-strain curve of a dry fiber network during tensile loading. By using a detailed particle-level simulation tool we investigate, among other things, the impact of “non-traditional” bonding parameters, such as compliance of bonding regions, work of separation and the actual number of effective bonds. This is probably the first three-dimensional model which is capable of simulating the fracture process of paper accounting for nonlinearities at the fiber level and bond failures. The failure behavior of the network considered in the study could be changed significantly by relatively small changes in bond strength, as compared to the scatter in bonding data found in the literature. We have identified that compliance of the bonding regions has a significant impact on network strength. By comparing networks with weak and strong bonds, we concluded that large local strains are the precursors of bond failures and not the other way around.
