Abstract:

Theoretical strength of solids is defined as the ultimate strength beyond which plastic deformation, fracture, or decohesion would occur. Understanding the microscopic origin from quantum mechanics and thermoelastic formulation is of great importance to mechanical properties and engineering design of various solids. While quite a few theory models have been made in the past century by several generations of scientists, including Frankel and Born, a general and convincing framework has not been fully established. We study this issue from three respects: (1) Unify various elastic stability crite

<p> In the past decades, nanostructured materials have opened new and fascinating avenues for research. Nanopolycrystalline solids, which consist of nano-sized crystalline grains and significant volume fractions of amorphous grain boundaries, are believed to have substantially different response to the thermal-mechanical-electric-magnetic loads, as compared to the response of single-crystalline materials. Nanopolycrystalline materials are expected to play a key role in the next generation of smart materials. </p><p> This research presents a framework (1) to generate full atomistic models, (

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to advance the understanding of the effect of electrical clamping forces on the mechanics of particulate solids. These forces are produced when an electric field is applied to a densely-packed bed of particles by two electrodes which are in direct contact with the particles. Particle-electrode contacts and inter-particle contacts cause electric current to flow through the bed of particles. At the contact points, the current is constricted to flow through small regions of contact. Due to the high electrical resistance near the point of contact, the local electr

Abstract:

This thesis is devoted to the mathematical analysis of models describing the energy of defects in crystalline solids via variational methods. The first part of this work studies a discrete model describing the energy of a point defect in a one dimensional chain of atoms. We derive an expansion of the ground state energy using Gamma-convergence, following previous work on similar models [BDMG99,BC07,SSZ11]. The main novelty here is an explicit characterisation of the first order limit as the solution of a variational problem in an infinite lattice. Analysing this variational problem, we prove a

This special case also provides upper and lower bounds for the solutions which are interesting in their own rights. We also show equivalence of the existence theory we develop with that of gradient flows when the stored-energy

Abstract:

A shaped charge is an explosive device used to penetrate thick targets using a high velocity jet. A typical shaped charge contains explosive material behind a conical hollow. The hollow is lined with a compliant material, such as copper. Extremely high stresses caused by the detonation of the explosive have a focusing effect on the liner, turning it into a long, slender, stretching jet with a tip speed of up to 12km/s. A mathematical model for the penetration of this jet into a solid target is developed with the goal of accurately predicting the resulting crater depth and diameter. The model i

Abstract:

Biological tissue differs from other materials in many ways. Perhaps the most crucial difference is its ability to grow. Growth processes may give rise to stresses that exist in a body in the absence of applied loads and these are known as residual stresses. Residual stress is present in many biological systems and can have important consequences on the mechanical response of a body. Mathematical models of biological structures must therefore be able to capture accurately the effects of differential growth and residual stress, since greater understanding of the roles of these phenomena may hav

The radii of curvature of mating bodies in contact or impact give rise to these various nonconforming contact configurations and affect their contact characteristics, from those considered as semi-infinite solids in accord with the classical Hertzian th

This thesis aims to model the uniaxial deformation of a class of materials consisting of microscopic spherical shells embedded in a rubber matrix.

To motivate the analysis we consider the paradigm problem of the debonding of a distribution of cylindrical inclusions in an elastic material undergoing antiplane shear, with bonded and debonded inclusions playing the role of unbuckled and buckled shells respectively. We begin the modelling of the microsphere-containing material by considering the buckling of an isolated emb

Abstract:

Following trauma, such as an impact injury or stroke, brain tissue can swell. Swelling is the result of water accumulation in the tissue that is driven by pathological changes, such as increased permeability of the capillary walls and osmotic pressure changes within the tissue. Swelling causes increased intracranial pressure and mechanical deformation of the brain tissue, exacerbating the original injury. Furthermore, prolonged local swelling can lead to the spread of damage to the (initially undamaged) surrounding tissue, since compression and increased intracranial pressure may restrict bloo

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mathematics and modelling of the industrial crimper, perhaps one of the least well understood processes that occurs in the manufacture of artificial fibre.

This we investigate by presuming the fibre to behave as an ideal elastica confined in a two dimensional channel. We consider how the arrangement of the fibre changes as more fibre is introduced, and the forces that are required to confine it. Later, we apply the same methods to a fibre co

These problems are called `codimension-two' free boundary problems.

In contrast to current theories, creep tests on Ni-based superalloy specimens have shown size dependent creep response termed as the thickness debit effect.

O escopo do trabalho é estudar o problema da torção uniforme em barras de seção maciça e resolvê-lo analiticamente para obter o momento de inércia à torção da seção transversal e os deslocamentos ao longo de toda a barra. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no contexto da Teoria da Elasticidade, utilizando o método semi-inverso para determinar as equações de Saint-Venant para a torção uniforme. As seções em forma de elipse e triângulo eqüilátero foram resolvidas utilizando a função de tensão de Prandtl, a função empenamento e a sua conjugada harmônica. A seção retangular foi resolvida utilizando as

Abstract:

Les industries productrices de matériaux, que ce soit dans le domaine des polymères ou celui des métaux, conçoivent de nouveaux matériaux pour répondre à des fonctions spécifiques définies par leurs clients. Elles s'appuient sur les progrès spectaculaires des dernières années dans le domaine de la modélisation des procédés et de la prédiction des propriétés d'emploi. Cependant, des efforts importants restent encore à faire dans la compréhension des relations entre une microstructure et ses propriétés de mise en forme et de tenue en service pour développer et inventer les matériaux de demain.
