Membranes with thin and heavy inclusions: Asymptotics of spectra

We study the asymptotic behaviour of eigenvalues of 2D vibrating systems with mass density perturbed in a vicinity of closed curves. The threshold case in which the resonance frequencies of the membrane and the frequencies of thin inclusion coincide is investigated. The perturbed eigenvalue problem can be realized as a family of self-adjoint operators acting on varying Hilbert spaces. However the so-called limit operator is non-self-adjoint and possesses the Jordan chains of length 2. Apart from the lack of self-adjointness, the operator has non-compact resolvent. As a consequence, its spectrum has a complicated structure, for instance, the spectrum contains a countable set of eigenvalues with infinite multiplicity. The complete asymptotic analysis of eigenvalues has been carried out.

Effect of Frictional Slipping on the Strength of Ribbon-Reinforced Composite

A numerical–analytical approach to the problem of determining the stress–strain state of bimaterial structures with interphase ribbon-like deformable inhomogeneities under combined force and dislocation loading has been proposed. The possibility of delamination along a part of the interface between the inclusion and the matrix, where sliding with dry friction occurs, is envisaged. A structurally modular method of jump functions is constructed to solve the problems arising when nonlinear geometrical or physical properties of a thin inclusion are taken into account. A complete system of equations is constructed to determine the unknowns of the problem. The condition for the appearance of slip zones at the inclusion–matrix interface is formulated. A convergent iterative algorithm for analytical and numerical determination of the friction-slip zones is developed. The influence of loading parameters and the friction coefficient on the development of these zones is investigated.

The problem of the partial delamination of the elastic interface thin inclusion in the conditions of longitudinal shear of the bimaterial

The problem of longitudinal displacement of a bi -material with a thin inclusion of arbitrary physical and mechanical nature at the interface of the matrix materials is considered. The bulk is loaded by normal compression and various force factors in the longitudinal direction. The possibility of partial delamination of a part of the boundary between the inclusion and the matrix, where dry friction slip occurs, is assumed. A complete system of equations for the formulated problem is constructed. It is proposed to construct the solution using the structural modular method of jump functions, a description of which is given. A condition for the appearance of a slip zone on the inclusion-matrix boundary is founded. A convergent iterative algorithm for numerically analytical determination of the size of this zone is developed.

Effect of surface tension on the antiplane deformation of bimaterial with a thin interface microinclusion

Within the framework of the concept of micromechanics, a method for taking into account the effect of surface energy for a thin interface micro-inclusion in the bimaterial under conditions of longitudinal shear has been proposed. The possibility of non-ideal contact between inclusion and matrix is provided, in particular, tension contact. This significantly extends the scope of applicability of the results. A generalized model of a thin inclusion with arbitrary elastic mechanical properties was built. Based on the application of the theory of functions of a complex variable and the jump function method, the stress field in the vicinity of the inclusion during its interaction with the screw dislocation was calculated. Several effects have been identified that can be used to optimize the energy parameters of the problem.

Physically nonlinear deformation of a thin interphase inclusion under antiplane problem conditions

The longitudinal shear problem of the bimaterial with thin physically nonlinear inclusion at the interface matrix materials is considered. The solution of the formulated problem is constructed by the method of the conjugation of limit values of analytical functions with the use of the jump function method. A model of thin inclusion with arbitrary nonlinear strain characteristics is constructed. The solution of the problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations with variable coefficients. A convergent iteration method for solving such a system for different types of physically nonlinear deformation is proposed. An incremental calculation method for calculating stress-strain state under multistep (including cyclic) quasi-static loading is developed. Numerical calculations of the body stress-strain state for various values of the parameters of the nonlinearity of the inclusion material are carried out. Their influence on the mode of deformation of the matrix under loading by a balanced system of concentrated forces is investigated.

Antiplane Deformation of a Bimaterial with Thin Interfacial Nonlinear Elastic Inclusion

The problem of longitudinal shear of bimaterial with thin nonlinear elastic inclusion at the interface of matrix materials is considered. Solution of the problem is constructed using the boundary value problem of combining analytical functions and jump functions method. The model of the thin inclusion with nonlinear resilient parameters is built. Solution of the problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations with variable coefficients. The convergent iterative method for solving such a system is offered for various nonlinear strain models, including Ramberg-Osgood law. Numerical calculations are carried out for different values of non-linearity characteristic parameters for the inclusion material. Their parameters are analysed for the tensely-deformed matrix under loading a uniformly distributed shear stresses and for a balanced system of the concentrated forces.
