Abstract In this paper we present some new data from extension-inflation tests on a human iliac artery and then, on the basis of the nonlinear theory of elasticity, we examine a possible model to represent this data. The model considers the artery initially as a thick-walled circular cylindrical tube which may consist of two or more concentric layers. In order to take some account of the architecture (morphological structure), each layer of the material is regarded as consisting of two families of mechanically equivalent helical fibers symmetrically disposed with respect to the cylinder axis. The resulting material properties are then orthotropic in each layer. General formulas for the pressure and the axial load in the symmetric inflation of an extended tube are obtained. The starting point is the unloaded circular cylindrical configuration, but (in general unknown) residual stresses are included in the formulation. The model is illustrated by specializing firstly to the case of a single layer so that the consequences of the hypothesis of uniform circumferential stress in the physiological state can be examined theoretically. This enables the required residual stresses to be calculated explicitly. Secondly, the equations are specialized for the membrane approximation in order to show how certain important characteristics of the experimental data can be replicated using a relatively simple anisotropic membrane model.

A magnetoactive porous solid comprises a porous polymer matrix with embedded magnetizable particles. The connected porous space of the polymer matrix is filled with a fluid. Under externally applied magnetic fields, the magnetoactive porous solid can undergo large deformations in the elastic regime, triggering diffusive flow in the interconnected pores. The coupled hydromagnetomechanical behavior of such materials has recently received considerable attention. In this paper, the effective stress principle is applied to the constitutive modeling of the material at finite strains. In contrast to previous works, the Lagrangian porosity is no longer treated as an independent constitutive variable in the proposed formulation. To investigate the effect of the magnetic field on the mechanical response of the material, as well as to illustrate the theory, the problem of inflation of a circular cylindrical tube in the presence of a uniform axial magnetic field is formulated and solved. Computational results are presented graphically.

AbstractResidual stresses in an unloaded configuration of an elastic material have a significant influence on the response of the material from that configuration, but the effect of residual stress on the stability of the material, whether loaded or unloaded, has only been addressed to a limited extent. In this paper we consider the level of residual stress that can be supported in a thick-walled circular cylindrical tube of non-linearly elastic material without loss of stability when subjected to fixed axial stretch and either internal or external pressure. In particular, we consider the tube to have radial and circumferential residual stresses, with a simple form of elastic constitutive law that accommodates the residual stress, and incremental deformations restricted to the cross section of the tube. Results are described for a tube subject to a level of (internal or external) pressure characterized by the internal azimuthal stretch. Subject to restrictions imposed by the strong ellipticity condition, the emergence of bifurcated solutions is detailed for their dependence on the level of residual stress and mode number.

A new measuring technique utilizing X-ray diffraction is proposed in order to estimate the circumferential distributions of residual stresses on convex/concave cylindrical surfaces. This technique requires neither tilting X-ray beams in the circumferential direction in which the X-ray incident angle tends to be limited nor adjusting the normal of the irradiation area to the reference axis of the ψ angle. The circumferential distributions of the circumferential stress and of the axial stress are estimated from the diffraction angles at ψ = 0° and the axial stresses obtained by the stress measurement on multiple inclined areas on the cylindrical surfaces under the configuration of the axial stress measurement using the iso-inclination scanning method. This estimate technique was applied to two round bars of steel, one with circumferential distributions of the residual stresses and the other with almost uniform stresses. The distribution functions of the residual stresses were expanded to a couple of Fourier series, and the coefficients of them were determined by the least-squares method. The estimated distributions of the residual stresses were in good agreement with the actual ones.

Ti6Al4V alloy is widely used for aeronautical components due to a special combination of high mechanical properties, low density and good corrosion resistance at high temperature. These components are usually damaged by particles impacts during their operating time. When the reliability of these components is compromised, they are replaced with the consequent cost of material and time. Spraying coatings on the damaged surface could reveal as an alternative process to repair these components, increasing their operating life. Traditionally, thermal spray processes are used to repair the aeronautical components. However, the coatings produced by these processes are characterized by high residual stresses, porosity and oxidation. The cold spray technique is revealed as a promising spraying alternative due to the characteristic low temperature of the process. Consequently, residual stresses, oxidation, crack formation, phase transformations and microstructural changes are minimized. In this work, a cold spray technique was used to generate Ti6Al4V coatings onto a bulk of the same material. Three different spraying conditions were studied: Ti6Al4V coatings sprayed at 800oC; Ti6Al4V coatings sprayed at 1100oC; and Ti6Al4V coatings sprayed at 1100oC with a subsequent heat treatment: The wear resistance of these coatings was investigated by solid particle erosion and micro-scratch tests. The wear behaviour was determined under several wear tests conditions. Additionally, instrumented indentation tests were carried out on the coatings to determine their mechanical response. The wear mechanisms of the coatings were identified and compared to their microstructure and mechanical properties.

Historically there have been two different types of grain modelling: One of these basically uses particle populations which evolve essentially by coagulation (e. g., the MRN model: Mathis, Rumpl and Nordsieck, 1977); the other considers the physical and chemical evolution of the particles with a particular emphasis on changes not only in sizes but also in chemical and morphological structure (e. g. Greenberg, 1978; Williams, 1989). The model of Oort and van de Hulst (1946) was the first to consider that grains must evolve in interstellar space by treating both growth and destruction in clouds. The chemical properties had already been derived by van de Hulst (1946) and then later described as the dirty ice model which consisted of the saturated molecules H2O, CH4 and NH3 with trace constituents of other atoms and molecules resulting from surface reactions of atoms on the grains. How such grains could nucleate was left as an unsolved problem but the fact that, once formed, there did not seem to be any reason why they should not grow until they exhausted the condensable atoms in the gas led to the suggestion that a limiting destructive mechanism must be provided. This was assumed to be by grain-grain collisions within clouds moving at relative speeds of 10 km s−1. We thus had the first dynamical theory leading to a steady state distribution of grain sizes. This model provided for me the starting point of the core-mantle model of grains. The observations of the 60's and henceforth clearly showed the existence of other types of small particles, which have been invoked to explain the 2200 å hump (Stecher and Donn, 1965), the far ultraviolet (FUV) extinction (Greenberg and Chlewicki, 1983), and now certain infrared emission features. These other components notwithstanding, grains still account for the major fraction of the solid particle mass in space.

In this paper, we study theoretically the peristaltic transport of a generalized four-parameter plastic fluid in a circular cylindrical tube. The present fluid model is presented for the rheological characterization of inelastic fluid foods. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are taken into account to get solution. The effects of embedded parameters on pressure rise, frictional force and especially on the mechanical efficiency have been numerically displayed and physically discussed.

Using finite element (FE) analysis to simulate drop impact is widely adopted by the consumer electronics industry in the design process of portable devices. Most of such simulations model impact surface as a rigid or simple elastic surface. While this approach is valid for many common hard surfaces such as wood, tile, or concrete, it often does not provide a realistic risk assessment if the impact surface is a soft surface such as carpet. This paper describes a methodology to create a material model for carpeted impact surface that is suited for FE drop simulation. A multilayer hyperelastic–viscoelastic material model is used to model the mechanical response of the carpet under mechanical impact. Quasi-static and impact testing on the industrial carpet were performed to calibrate the model parameters with the help of optimization. Validation of the model was done by comparing the simulation predictions with measurements from the impact tests performed at different heights. Much better correlation between experimental measurements and simulation predictions were observed when using the multilayer hyper-viscoelastic model for carpet than using a single layer homogenous model. This approach can provide a better estimate and a more accurate representation for device drop risk on carpeted surfaces for design and development of portable products. The methodology can also be used to derive material models for other similar impact surfaces.
