Viscoelastic material acoustic coating plays an important role in noise and vibration control of underwater equipment. The dynamic mechanical properties of the viscoelastic material have a direct effect on the sound absorption performance of the acoustic coating. The influence of Poisson’s ratio on sound absorption performance is studied. A finite element model was established to calculate the sound absorption performance of three typical acoustic coatings: homogeneous acoustic coatings, Alberich acoustic coatings, and trumpet cavity acoustic coatings, and the influence of Poisson’s ratio on the sound absorption performance of the three kinds of acoustic coatings was analyzed. The results show that when Poisson’s ratio varies from 0.49 to 0.4999, the larger Poisson’s ratio is, the larger the frequency of the first absorption peak is, the smaller the absorption coefficient below the frequency of the first absorption peak is, and the smaller the average absorption coefficient in the whole analysis frequency range is. The dynamic Poisson’s ratio with the change of frequency is obtained by interpolating the test results and static Poisson’s ratio finite element calculation results. The calculation results show that the dynamic Poisson’s ratio can get more accurate calculation results. This work can provide a reference for researchers to set Poisson’s ratio in theoretical analysis and finite element analysis of acoustic coating.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to deal with large deformation analysis of plane beams composed of functionally graded (FG) elastic material with a variable Poisson’s ratio. Design/methodology/approach The material is assumed to be linear elastic, with a Poisson’s ratio varying according to a power law along the thickness direction. The finite element used is a plane beam of any-order of approximation along the axis, and with four transverse enrichment schemes, which can describe constant, linear, quadratic and cubic variation of the strain along the thickness direction. Regarding the constitutive law, five materials are adopted: two homogeneous limiting cases, and three intermediate FG cases. The effect of both finite element kinematics and distribution of Poisson’s ratio on the mechanical response of a cantilever is investigated. Findings In accordance with the scientific literature, the second scheme, in which the transverse strain is linearly variable, is sufficient for homogeneous long (or thin) beams under bending. However, for FG short (or moderate thick) beams, the third scheme, in which the transverse strain variation is quadratic, is needed for a reliable strain or stress distribution. Originality/value In the scientific literature, there are several studies regarding nonlinear analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) via finite elements, analysis of FGMs with constant Poisson’s ratio, and geometrically linear problems with gradually variable Poisson’s ratio. However, very few deal with finite element analysis of flexible beams with gradually variable Poisson’s ratio. In the present study, a reliable formulation for such beams is presented.

The mechanical properties of cells are important in regulation of many aspects of cell functions. The cell may respond differently to a 2D plate and a 3D scaffold. In this study, the finite element analysis (FEA) was adopted to investigate mechanical deformation of chondrocyte on a 2D glass plate and chondrocyte seeded in a 3D scaffold. The elastic properties of the cell differ in these two different compression tests. This is because that the cell sensed different environment (2D plate and 3D construct) which can alter its structure and mechanical properties. It reveals how the apparent Poisson's ratio of a cell changes with the applied strain depends on its mechanical environment (e.g., the elastic moduli and Poisson's ratios of the scaffold and extracellular matrix) which regulates cell mechanics. In addition, the elastic modulus of the nucleus also plays a significant role in the determination of the Poisson's ratio of the cell for the cells seeded scaffold. It also reveals the intrinsic Poisson's ratio of the cell cannot be obtained by extrapolating the measured apparent Poisson's ratio to zero strain, particularly when scaffold's Poisson's ratio is quite different from the cell.

Abstract In this research, Poisson's ratio of plywood as obtained by a tension test was examined by varying the width of the specimen. The tension tests were conducted on five-plywood of lauan (Shorea sp.) with various widths, and Young's moduli and Poisson's ratios of the specimens were measured. Finite element calculations were independently conducted. A comparison of the experimental results with those of finite element analysis revealed that Young's modulus could be obtained properly when the width of the plywood strip varied. In contrast, the width of the plywood strip should be large enough to determine Poisson's ratio properly.

In the area of biomaterials, the structures with negative Poisson’s ratio are able to be applied to the polymer component of prosthesis, artificial blood-vessel and catheter. To induce its characteristic, previous studies postulated many structural shapes such as non-convex shape with reentrant corners and re-entrant honeycomb. In this study, we proposed the rotational particle structures and investigated the Poisson’s ratio and the ratio (Ee/E) of the elastic modulus of these structures based on structural design variables using finite element method. The auto-meshing preprocessor was coded using MATLAB in order to construct numerical models as design variables and perform finite element analysis (FEA) effectively. Three selected design variables were the ratio of fibril’s length to particle’s diameter (0.2~2.0), the ratio of fibril’s length to its width (0.02~0.2) and the angle of fibril about horizontal axis (0 degree ~ tangential angle). Finite element model has 2D plain stress quadratic element and composed of 515 particles and 6-linked fibrils per each particle. For all of 213 cases, one side of each model is applied a tension, 0.1% strain and analyze Poisson’s ratio and the ratio (Ee/E) of the elastic modulus. As the ratio of fibril’s length to particle’s diameter increased and the ratio of fibril’s diameter to fibril’s length decreased fixing the fibril’s angle with 45 degree, the negative Poisson effect of rotational particle structures increased. The ratio of elastic modulus of these structures decreased with Poisson’s ratio. The results show the reasonable values as compared with the previous analytical results.

A tube support plate is one of the significant parts of a steam generator, which confines the rotational and translational motion of tubes caused by the hydraulic and seismic load. It also provides a flow path along the tubes. There are various types of tube support plates according to the component designer’s preference. In this investigation, ten types of trefoil Broached Tube Support Plate (BTSP) specimens made from ASME stainless steel were analyzed and tested to determine the appropriate shape of trefoil BTSP in the view of the elastic properties including elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio. The types of trefoil BTSP specimens were designated as SI through S5 and L1 through L5 for S and L types, respectively. These specimens are categorized by the shape and dimension of broached hole. Ten specimens were investigated through finite element analysis, and compression and bending tests. The dimensions of the test specimens were decided through a previous research study done to examine appropriate shape for the compression and bending tests. The equivalent elastic properties of BTSP were obtained by the finite element analysis as per different loading orientation as well as the various specimen types. Autodesk® Inventor™ software was used to make the analytical model and ABAQUS® software was used for the analysis and post-processing. The equivalent elastic properties of BTSP specimens were also acquired by the compression and bending tests. From the results of the finite element analysis, and the compression and bending tests, the appropriate shapes of trefoil BTSP with regard to the equivalent elastic modulus, and Poisson’s ratio are suggested as L4, S3, and S4.
