This paper presents a new displacement solution based on a Modified Fourier Series (MFS) for isotropic linear elastic solids under plane strain or plane stress states subject to continuous displacement and traction boundary conditions in a two-dimensional rectangular domain. In contrast with existing approaches that are restricted to Fourier series with a rate of convergence of second order O(m-2), the MFS allows increasing the rate of convergence of the solution. The governing Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are satisfied exactly by two displacement solutions while the boundary conditions are approximated after solving a finite system of algebraic equations. Numerical results for a solution with an MFS with rate of convergence O(m-3) are compared with results from existing numerical and analytical methods, showing the enhanced behavior of the present solution.

Here we consider the initial-boundary value problems in a homogeneous cylindrical domain YI Ω ×+ ( Ω+ is an open two-dimensional bounded simply connected domain with a boundary 5 ∂Ω ∈C , 2 \ Ω≡ Ω − + R is the open exterior of the domain Ω+ , [0, ] YI ≡ Y is the height of the cylinder) on a time interval [0, ] TI ≡ T . The initial conditions and the boundary conditions on the bases of the cylinder are zero, and the boundary conditions on the lateral surface of the cylinder are given by the function 1 2 wx x yt ( , , ,) ( 1 2 (, ) x x ∈∂Ω , Y y ∈ I , T t I ∈ ). An approximate solution of such problems is obtained through the combined use of the Fourier method and the collocation boundary element method based on piecewise quadratic interpolation (PQI). The solution to the problem in the cylinder is expanded in a Fourier series in terms of eigenfunctions of the operator 2 By yy ≡ ∂ with the corresponding zero boundary conditions. The coefficients of such a Fourier series are solutions of problems for two-dimensional heat equations 2 2 t ∇ =∂ + u u ku . With a low smoothness of the functions w in the variable y, the weight of solutions at large values of k increases and the accuracy of solving the problem in the cylinder decreases. To maintain accuracy on a uniform grid, the step of discretization of the boundary function w with respect to the variable y is decreased by a factor of j. Here j is an averaged value of the quantity Y k π depending on the function w. In addition, the steps of discretization of functions ( ) 2 exp − τ k with respect to the variable τ in domains τ≤πT k are reduced by a factor of 2 2 k π . The steps in the remaining ranges of values τ and the steps by the other variables remain unchanged. The approximate solutions obtained on the basis of this procedure converge stably to exact solutions in the 2 ( ) LI I Y T × -norm with a cubic velocity uniformly with respect to sets of functions w, bounded by norm of functions with low smoothness in the variable y, uniformly along the length of the generatrix of the cylinder Y , and uniformly in the domain Ω . The latter is also associated with the use of PQI along the curve ∂Ω over the variable 2 2 ρ≡ − r d , which is carried out at small values of r ( d and r are the distances from the observed point of the domain Ω to the boundary ∂Ω and to the current point of integration along ∂Ω , respectively). The theoretical conclusions are confirmed by the results of the numerical solution of the problem in a circular cylinder, where the dependence of the boundary functions w on y is given by the normalized eigenfunctions of the differential operator By which vary in a sufficiently large range of values of k .

In this paper, arbitrary boundary conditions including classical and elastic ones are considered in analyzing the vibration and damping characteristics of the sandwich conical shells and annular plates using a simple and efficient modified Fourier solution. The displacement field is expressed as the linear combination of a standard Fourier series and several supplementary terms. The addition of these terms make the Fourier series expansion applicable to any boundary conditions, and the Fourier series expansions improved drastically regarding its accuracy and convergence. Instead of adopting conventional differentiation procedure, a Rayleigh–Ritz technique based on the energy function is conducted which leads to a set of algebraic equations. Then natural frequencies and loss factors can be obtained by solving the algebraic equations. Accuracy and reliability of the current method are checked by comparing the present results with the existing solutions. Influences of some vital parameters on the free vibration and damping performance of sandwich shells and plates are discussed. The detailed effect of restraints from different directions on the frequencies and loss factors is investigated. So, the method can provide a guide to design sandwich structures with desired vibration characteristic and well damping performance by reasonably adjusting the boundary condition. Some new numerical results are presented for future validation of various approximate/numerical methods.

A general correlation is derived between macroscopic stresses/strains and microscopic deformation on the damage surfaces for inhomogeneous elastic solids with two-dimensional damage. Assuming linear elastic behavior for the undamaged materials, the macroscopic deformation associated with nonlinear strains, or damage strains, is shown to be the weighted sum of the microscopic deformations on the damage surfaces. For inhomogeneous materials with periodic structures (laminated composites, for example) and various identifiable damage modes, simple relations are derived between the macroscopic deformation and microscopic damage. When the number of identifiable damage modes is less than or equal to the number of relevant measurable macroscopic strains, the correlation can be used to evaluate the damage progression from simple macroscopic stress and strain measurements. The simple case of a unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite under longitudinal load is used to show how the results can help detect and characterize the damage using macroscopic measurements, without resorting to assumptions of detailed microscopic deformation mechanisms.

The classical two-dimensional solutions of the theory of elasticity provide a framework of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics. However, these solutions, in fact, are approximations despite that the corresponding governing equations of the plane theories of elasticity are solved exactly. This paper aims to elucidate the main differences between the approximate (two-dimensional) and exact (three-dimensional) elastic solutions of crack problems. The latter demonstrates many interesting features, which cannot be analysed within the plane theories of elasticity. These features include the presence of scale effects of deterministic nature, the existence of new singular stress states and fracture modes. Furthermore, the deformation and stress fields near the tip of the crack is essentially three-dimensional and do not follow plane stress or plane strain simplifications. Moreover, in certain situations the two-dimensional solutions can provide misleading results; and several characteristic examples are outlined in this paper.

Two-dimensional parabolic equation with nonlocal condition is solved by alternating direction method in the rectangular domain. Values of the solution on the boundary points are bind with the integral of the solution in whole two-dimensional domain. Because of this nonlocal condition, the classical alternating direction method is complemented by the solution of low dimension system of algebraic equations. The peculiarities of the method are considered.

Three-dimensional solution in terms of potential functions is presented for a transversely isotropic piezoelectric clamped circular plate subjected to axisymmetric ther-moelectromechanical load. The boundary conditions are satisfied using Fourier-Bessel expansions yielding two uncoupled infinite systems of algebraic equations for the arbitrary constants. These are solved to any desired degree of accuracy by truncating to finite set of equations. Results are presented to illustrate the effect of the thickness parameter. These would help assess two-dimensional theories of piezoelectric plates.
