Are scaling laws on strength of solids related to mechanics or to geometry?

چکیده
One of the largest controversial issues of the materials science community is the interpretation of scaling laws on material strength. In spite of the prevailing view, which considers mechanics as the real cause of such effects, here, we propose a different argument, purely based on geometry. Thus, as happened for relativity, geometry could again hold an unexpected and fundamental role.

Mechanical Response of Hollow Metallic Nanolattices: Combining Structural and Material Size Effects
Ordered cellular solids have higher compressive yield strength and stiffness compared to stochastic foams. The mechanical properties of cellular solids depend on their relative density and follow structural scaling laws. These scaling laws assume the mechanical properties of the constituent materials, like modulus and yield strength, to be constant and dictate that equivalent-density cellular s...
متن کاملA review on stress distribution, strength and failure of bolted composite joints
In this study, analytical models considering different material and geometry for both single and double-lap bolted joints were reviewed for better understand how to select the proper model for a particular application. The survey indicades that the analytic models selected for the adhesively single or double bolted lap joints, as well as T, scarf, and stepped joints, with linear material pr...

The main purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of the geometry and size of the aggregate, as well as the drying temperature on the compressive strength of the ordinary concrete. To this end, two aggregates with sharp and round corners were prepared in three different aggregate sizes. After preparing concrete samples, the drying operations were carried out in the vicinity of room tempera...
متن کاملOn the Statistical Law of Life
In this paper we derive a statistical law of Life. It governs the probability of death (or complementary of survival) of the living organisms. We have deduced such a law coupling the widely used Weibull (1951) statistics, developed for describing the distribution of the strength of solids, with the “universal” model for ontogenetic growth only recently proposed by West and co-authors (2001). Th...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Dynamic Yield Strength of Solids by Means of the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability
An experimental procedure to evaluate the dynamic yield strength of solids based on measuring the growth of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability is proposed. To induce the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in solids a shock is needed, so this technique is complementary to the one based on the Rayleigh-Taylor instability that is achieved by means of an isentropic compression. We have presented an analy...
