A new monolithic solution scheme for thermo-elasto-plasticity and thermo-elasto-plastic frictional contact with finite deformations and finite strains is presented. A key feature is the reformulation of all involved inequality constraints, namely those of Hill’s orthotropic yield criterion as well as the normal and tangential contact constraints, in terms of non-smooth nonlinear complementarity...

The conversion of work into heat is one the most significant characteristics plastic deformation, especially in a high strain rate regime. quantitative characterization fraction converted plays crucial role understanding deformation process and mechanism establishing an accurate reasonable thermomechanical constitutive model. However, experimentally found to span over wide range values between ...

Motywacją do badań nad równaniami opisującymi odkształcenia termo-lepko-sprężyste jest potrzeba lepszego opisu procesów zachodzących w różnych materiałach oraz zbudowania lepszych modeli ich zachowania pod wpływem działania sił zewnętrznych. Wraz z rozwojem techniki zdobywamy głębszą wiedzę na temat różnych tworzyw. Pozwala nam to na tworzenie coraz bardziej poprawnych modeli opisujących zachow...

Optical forces in guided-wave nanostructures have recently been proposed as an effective means of mechanically actuating and tuning optical components. In this work, we study the properties of a photonic crystal optomechanical cavity consisting of a pair of patterned Si3N4 nanobeams. Internal stresses in the stoichiometric Si3N4 thin-film are used to produce inter-beam slot-gaps ranging from 56...

We review the application of cantilever-based stress measurements in surface science and magnetism. The application of thin (thickness appr. 0.1 mm) single crystalline substrates as cantilevers has been used successfully to measure adsorbate-induced surface stress changes, lattice misfit induced film stress, and magneto-elastic stress of ferromagnetic monolayers. Surface stress changes as small...

Fe-Pd alloy films, prepared by using a DC magnetron sputtering method, were developed as a high sensitive actuator, which was driven by the magnetic field. Fe-Pd alloy film shows large magnetostriction and high magnetostrictive susceptibility under 1 kOe. To evaluate the moving potential as magneto-driving actuator, the magnetostrictive properties were measured under different tensile loading s...

This article is concerned with the theoretical analysis of the functionally graded magneto-electro-thermoelastic hollow sphere due to uniform surface heating. We analyze the transient thermoelastic problem for a functionally graded hollow sphere constructed of the spherical isotropic and linear magneto-electro-thermoelastic materials using a laminated composite mode as one of theoretical approx...

We revisit an early example of a nonlinear oscillator that exhibits chaotic motions when subjected to periodic excitation: the magneto-elastically buckled beam. In the paper of Moons and Holmes (1980) [1] magnetic field calculations were outlined but not carried through; instead the nonlinear forces responsible for creation of a two-well potential and buckling were fitted to a polynomial functi...
