Abstract

Double restabilization and design of force–displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints

Submitted by Francesco Dal Corso on Tue, 08/09/2022 - 09:29

May a double restabilization of the trivial path occurr at monotonically increasing compression force?

May movable constraints be exploited to attain target force–displacement curves?

We provide a positive answer to both of these questions in our paper: Koutsogiannakis, Bigoni, Dal Corso. Double restabilization and design of force-displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints, European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids (2022)

Buckling of an elastic layer based on implicit constitution: Incremental theory and numerical framework

implicit constitution

A general class of implicit bodies was proposed to describe elastic response of solids, which contains the Cauchy–Green tensor as a function of Cauchy stress. Here, we consider the buckling of solids described by such a subclass of implicit constitutive relation. We present a general linear incremental theory and carry out bifurcation analysis of a uniaxially compressed rectangular layer described by an implicit constitution. We then provide general governing equations regarding the mixed unknowns, i.e., displacement and stress fields, within the framework of finite strain deformation.

A magnetoelastic theory for Kirchhoff rods having uniformly distributed paramagnetic inclusions and its buckling

Submitted by Ajeet Kumar on Mon, 06/28/2021 - 00:06

soft continuum robots

We present a theory for finite and spatial elastic deformation of rods under the influence of arbitrary magnetic field and boundary condition. The rod is modeled as a Kirchhoff rod and is assumed to have uniformly distributed array of uniaxial spheroidal paramagnetic inclusions embedded in it all pointing in the same direction in the undeformed state. The governing equations of the magnetoelastic rod are derived which are further non-dimensionalized and linearized to investigate buckling in such rods.

On postbuckling mode distortion and inversion of nanostructures due to surface roughness

Submitted by M. Shaat on Wed, 12/09/2020 - 14:51

In this paper, we investigate the surface roughness-dependence of buckling of beam-nanostructures. A new variational formulation of buckling of Euler-Bernoulli rough beams is developed based on the Hamil- ton’s principle. The equation of motion of the beam is obtained with a coupling term that depends on the beam surface roughness. Exact solutions are derived for the buckling configurations and the pre-buckling and postbuckling vibrations of simply supported structures.
