    Effects of Constitutive Parameters and Dynamic Tensile Loads on Radially Periodic Oscillation of Micro-Void Centered at Incompressible Hyperelastic Spheres

    X.G. Yuan1,2, H.W. Zhang1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.40, No.3, pp. 201-224, 2009, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2009.040.201
    Abstract The radially symmetric motion of the pre-existing micro-void centered at an incompressible hyperelastic sphere under the dynamic surface tensile loads relating to time is investigated in this paper. Some interesting conclusions are obtained by qualitatively analyzing the solutions of the motion equation of micro-void in detail; meanwhile, numerical simulations are used for understanding the obtained conclusions. In particular, it is proved that the motion of the micro-void with time would present a nonlinearly periodic oscillation if the values of the constant tensile load, the material and the structure parameters are given and that the oscillation amplitudes of the micro-void are… More >

    Hypersingular meshless method for solving 3D potential problems with arbitrary domain

    D. L. Young1,3, K. H. Chen2, T. Y. Liu3, L. H. Shen3, C. S. Wu3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.40, No.3, pp. 225-270, 2009, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2009.040.225
    Abstract In this article, a hypersingular meshless method (HMM) is extended to solve 3D potential problems for arbitrary domains after a 2D model was successfully developed (Young et al. 2005a). The solutions are represented by a distribution of the double layer potentials instead of the single layer potentials as generally used in the conventional method of fundamental solutions (MFS). By using the desingularization technique to regularize the singularity and hypersingularity of the double layer potentials, the source points can be located exactly on the real boundary to avoid the sensitivity of locating fictitious boundary for putting the singularity outside the computational… More >

    Micromechanical analysis of aligned and randomly oriented whisker-/ short fiber-reinforced composites

    S.H. Pyo1, H.K. Lee1,2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.40, No.3, pp. 271-306, 2009, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2009.040.271
    Abstract This paper presents a micromechanical approach for predicting the elastic and multi-level damage response of aligned and randomly oriented whisker-/ short fiber-reinforced composites. Based on a combination of Eshelby's micromechanics and the evolutionary imperfect interface approach, the effective elastic moduli of the composites are derived explicitly. The modified Eshelby's tensor for spheroidal inclusions with slightly weakened interface [Qu (1993b)] is extended in the present study to model whiskers or short fibers having mild or severe imperfect interfaces. Aligned and random orientations of spheroidal reinforcements are considered. A multi-level damage model in accordance with the Weibull's probabilistic function is then incorporated… More >
