An exact elastic solution is derived in a decoupled manner for the interaction problem between an edge dislocation and a three-phase circular inclusion with circumferentially homogeneous sliding interface. In the three-phase composite cylinder model, the inner inclusion and the intermediate matrix phase form a circumferentially homogeneous sliding interface, while the matrix and the outer composite phase form a perfect interface. An edge dislocation acts at an arbitrary point in the intermediate matrix. This three-phase cylinder model can simultaneously take into account the damage taking place in the circumferential direction at the inclusion-matrix interface and the interaction effect between the inclusions. As an application, we then investigate a crack interacting with the slipping interface.

AbstractThis paper deals with the two-dimensional problem of a circular inclusion undergoing spontaneous dimensional changes in an infinite elastic medium with a circular hole. This provides a more realistic model for some physical phenomena where inclusions have found applications. The effect of a concentrated force acting at an arbitrary point of an infinite medium with a circular hole has been found as an auxiliary result. After the evaluation of the effect of a concentrated force, Eshelby's. point force approach (1) has been used to get an exact solution to the inclusion problem.

AbstractA system of equations is derived for determining the elastic fields in an inclusion and its surrounding finite matrix when the inclusion suffers a physical change and, if not constrained by the matrix, would undergo a deformation . A method for obtaining the exact solution of these equations, when the matrix and inclusion have the same elastic constants, is described and the particular problem of the square inclusion in an infinite matrix solved.

AbstractIn a previous paper ((l)) the authors gave the solution for the two-dimensional circular inclusion problem in a medium containing a circular cavity. This paper seeks to solve the more general problem of a similar inclusion when the cavity is replaced by an inhomogeneity which could be of a different elastic material. The solution consists in finding three sets of suitable complex potential functions ø(z) and ψ(z) for three regions: the inhomogeneity, the inclusion and the rest of the material. The solution depends upon the evaluation of the complex potentials for a material containing the inhomogeneity when on the former a finite force is acting at some fixed point. It may be noted that two sets of ø(z) and ψ(z) have to be found in this case: one for the inhomogeneity and the other for the rest of the material. This may be taken as an auxiliary problem.

AbstractIn view of the influence of variability of low-frequency noise frequency on noise prevention in real life, we present a novel two-dimensional tunable phononic crystal plate which is consisted of lead columns deposited in a silicone rubber plate with periodic holes and calculate its bandgap characteristics by finite element method. The low-frequency bandgap mechanism of the designed model is discussed simultaneously. Accordingly, the influence of geometric parameters of the phononic crystal plate on the bandgap characteristics is analyzed and the bandgap adjustability under prestretch strain is further studied. Results show that the new designed phononic crystal plate has lower bandgap starting frequency and wider bandwidth than the traditional single-sided structure, which is due to the coupling between the resonance mode of the scatterer and the long traveling wave in the matrix with the introduction of periodic holes. Applying prestretch strain to the matrix can realize active realtime control of low-frequency bandgap under slight deformation and broaden the low-frequency bandgap, which can be explained as the multiple bands tend to be flattened due to the localization degree of unit cell vibration increases with the rise of prestrain. The presented structure improves the realtime adjustability of sound isolation and vibration reduction frequency for phononic crystal in complex acoustic vibration environments.

Abstract In a recent paper, Balthazar, Rodriguez and Yin found remarkable agreement between the one instanton contribution to the scattering amplitudes of two dimensional string theory and those in the matrix model to the first subleading order. The comparison was carried out numerically by analytically continuing the external energies to imaginary values, since for real energies the string theory result diverges. We use insights from string field theory to give finite expressions for the string theory amplitudes for real energies. We also show analytically that the imaginary parts of the string theory amplitudes computed this way reproduce the full matrix model results for general scattering amplitudes involving multiple closed strings.

Abstract In this article, a new explicit group iterative scheme is developed for the solution of two-dimensional fractional Rayleigh–Stokes problem for a heated generalized second-grade fluid. The proposed scheme is based on the high-order compact Crank–Nicolson finite difference method. The resulting scheme consists of three-level finite difference approximations. The stability and convergence of the proposed method are studied using the matrix energy method. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to show the accuracy of the proposed method.

The adhesion and locomotion of mouse peripheral lymph node lymphocytes on 2-D protein- coated substrata and in 3-D matrices were compared. Lymphocytes did not adhere to, or migrate on, 2-D substrata suck as serum- or fibronectin-coated glass. They did attach to and migrate in hydrated 3-D collagen lattices. When the collagen was dehydrated to form a 2-D surface, lymphocyte attachment to it was reduced. We propose that lymphocytes, which are poorly adhesive, are able to attach to and migrate in 3-D matrices by a nonadhesive mechanism such as the extension and expansion of pseudopodia through gaps in the matrix, which could provide purchase for movement in the absence of discrete intermolecular adhesions. This was supported by studies using serum-coated micropore filters, since lymphocytes attached to and migrated into filters with pore sizes large enough (3 or 8 mum) to allow pseudopod penetration but did not attach to filters made of an identical material (cellulose esters) but of narrow pore size (0.22 or 0.45 mum). Cinematographic studies of lymphocyte locomotion in collagen gels were also consistent with the above hypothesis, since lymphocytes showed a more variable morphology than is typically seen on plane surfaces, with formation of many small pseudopodia expanded to give a marked constriction between the cell and the pseudopod. These extensions often remained fixed with respect to the environment as the lymphocyte moved away from or past them. This suggests that the pseudopodia were inserted into gaps in the gel matrix and acted as anchorage points for locomotion.
