Abstract

Exploiting the framework of peridynamics, a dimensionally-reduced formulation for plates is developed that allows for the through-thickness nucleation and growth of fracture surfaces,

Finite Extension of Accreting Nonlinear Elastic Solid Circular Cylinders

Submitted by arash_yavari on

In this paper we formulate and solve the initial-boundary value problem of accreting circular cylindrical bars under finite extension. We assume that the bar grows by printing stress-free cylindrical layers on its boundary cylinder while it is undergoing a time-dependent finite extension. Accretion induces eigenstrains, and consequently residual stresses. We formulate the anelasticity problem by first constructing the natural Riemannian metric of the growing bar. This metric explicitly depends on the history of deformation during the accretion process.

Reconfigurable enhancement of actuation forces by engineered losses in non-Hermitian metamaterials

Submitted by Ramathasan The… on

Dear Colleagues, 

I invite you to read our recent Extreme Mechanics Letters paper presenting a novel viewpoint on enhancing emissivity near exceptional point singularities in a non-Hermitian metamaterial. We present the experiments and numerical modeling in an elastodynamic framework--where the actuation forces from an actuator are enhanced by coupling to a passive dissipative non-Hermitian metamaterial--and present the theory further generalized and applicable to other physical frameworks from acoustics to optics and microwaves.

Modeling SEBM Process of Tantalum Lattices

Submitted by Jinxiong Zhou on

Selective electron beam melting (SEBM) is one of the popular powder-bed additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, of which there have been extensive studies employing numerical simulations to investigate the thermo-physical phenomena. A procedure for deducing thermo-physical properties of powders from bulk properties of tantalum is presented.
