Nonlinear elastic inclusions in isotropic solids.
We introduce a geometric framework to calculate the residual stress fields and deformations of nonlinear solids with inclusions and eigenstrains. Inclusions are regions in a body with different reference configurations from the body itself and can be described by distributed eigenstrains. Geometrically, the eigenstrains define a Riemannian 3-manifold in which the body is stress-free by construc...
متن کاملElastic properties of colloidal solids with disorder
— Recent progress in approaches to determine the elastic constants of solids starting from the microscopic particle interactions is reviewed. On the theoretical side, density functional theory approaches are discussed and compared to more classical ones using the actual pair potentials. On the experimental side, video microscopy has been introduced to measure the elastic constants in colloidal ...
متن کاملA simple model of effective elastic properties of materials with inclusions
The aim of this study is to develop a simple phenomenological model for the elastic moduli of a composite material formed by localized inclusions embedded in an elastic matrix. It is assumed that the material can be characterised by only two aggregated parameters, viz., volume fraction of inclusions and their resonance frequency within the elastic matrix. The values of these two parameters are ...
متن کاملEffective elastic moduli in solids with high density of cracks
We investigate the weakening of elastic materials through randomly distributed circles and cracks numerically and compare the results to predictions from homogenization theories. We find a good agreement for the case of randomly oriented cracks of equal length in an isotropic plane-strain medium for lower crack densities; for higher densities the material is weaker than predicted due to precurs...
متن کاملSurface tension and a self-consistent theory of soft composite solids with elastic inclusions.
The importance of surface tension effects is being recognized in the context of soft composite solids, where they are found to significantly affect the mechanical properties, such as the elastic response to an external stress. It has recently been discovered that Eshelby's inclusion theory breaks down when the inclusion size approaches the elastocapillary length L≡γ/E, where γ is the inclusion/...
