Book Lattice Dynamical Foundations Of Continuum Theories  Elasticity  Piezoelectricity  Viscoelasticity  Plasticity

Download or read book Lattice Dynamical Foundations Of Continuum Theories Elasticity Piezoelectricity Viscoelasticity Plasticity written by Attila Askar and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1986-07-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a discussion of lattice dynamics for perfect and imperfect lattices and their relation to continuum theories of elasticity, piezoelectricity, viscoelasticity and plasticity. Some of the material is rather classical and close in spirit to solid state physics. A major aim here is to present a coherent theory for the four basic behavior types in the style of continuum mechanics. In each case, emphasis is on an explicit display of the physical mechanisms involved rather than general formalisms. The material is presented in terms of an atomistic picture for the discrete system. The basic ideas are believed to be relevant also at an intermediate scale in the continuum description of media with structure such as granular materials and composites.

Book Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices

Download or read book Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices written by Max Born and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1985 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Born and Huang's classic work on the dynamics of crystal lattices was published over thirty years ago, the book remains the definitive treatment of the subject. It begins with a brief introduction to atomic forces, lattice vibrations and elasticity, and then breaks off into four sections. The first section deals with the general statistical mechanics of ideal lattices, leading to the electric polarizability and to the scattering of light. The second section deals with the properties of long lattice waves, the third with thermal properties, and the fourth with optical properties.

Gao of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for recommending this book to Kluwer for publication in the series of Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics. JSY Lincoln, Nebraska 2004 Preface Electroelastic materials exhibit electromechanical coupling. They experience mechanical deformations when placed in an electric field, and become electrically polarized under mechanical loads. Strictly speaking, piezoelectricity refers to linear electromechanical couplings only.

Book Nonlinear Waves in Elastic Crystals

Download or read book Nonlinear Waves in Elastic Crystals written by Gérard A. Maugin and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mathematical modelling of changing structures in materials is of increasing importance to industry where applications of the theory are found in subjects as diverse as aerospace and medicine. This book deals with aspects of the nonlinear dynamics of deformable ordered solids (known as elastic crystals) where the nonlinear effects combine or compete with each other. Physical and mathematical models are discused and computational aspects are also included. Different models are considered - on discrete as well as continuum scales - applying heat, electricity, or magnetism to the crystal structure and these are analysed using the equations of rational mechanics. Students are introduced to the important equations of nonlinear science that describe shock waves, solitons and chaos and also the non-exactly integrable systems or partial differential equations. A large number of problems and examples are included, many taken from recent research and involving both one-dimensional and two-dimensional problems as well as some coupled degress of freedom.

Book Pedagogical Problems in Lattice Dynamics

Download or read book Pedagogical Problems in Lattice Dynamics written by N. Krishnamurthy and published by Alpha Science International, Limited. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedagogical Problems in Lattice Dynamics presents a simplified approach to advanced problems in lattice dynamics. The basic concepts of lattice dynamics, viz, nature of lattice vibrations, elastic wave propagation and occurrence of phase transitions, are brought through pedagogical problems employing perfect lattices. The inclusion of defects in various configurations, and the characteristics of localized, gap and inband modes are illustrated with suitable examples. The dynamics of molecular crystals, involving translational and librational modes are discussed using specific one dimensional molecular lattice. Vibrations in pure and defect induced molecular lattices have been worked out presenting extensive illustrations of the modes and their properties. The nature of lattice vibrations, their polarization characteristics in centrosymmetric and noncentric lattices have been studied. The occurrence of pure and quasi modes in typical ionic crystals and elliptic/circular polarizations in quartz has also been pointed out. The book includes a brief discussion on the propagation of elastic waves in piezo electric crystals and the consequent changes in pure mode directions. The Madelung constants in several crystals are presented in view of their utility in assessing phase transitions and lattice stability.

Book Vibration Of Piezoelectric Crystal Plates

Download or read book Vibration Of Piezoelectric Crystal Plates written by Jiashi Yang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first contemporary text specializing on the dynamic problems of piezoelectric crystal plates for resonant acoustic wave devices (such as resonators, filters, and sensors) since H F Tiersten's publication in 1969. This book provides an up-to-date, systematic and comprehensive presentation of theoretical results on waves and vibrations in quartz crystal plates. It expounds on the application of the theories of elasticity and piezoelectricity in acoustic wave devices made from crystal plates through a coverage spanning from classical results on acoustic wave resonators, up to present-day applications in acoustic wave sensors.This text begins with the exposition of the simplest thickness modes and various frequency effects in them due to electrodes, mass loading, contact with fluids, air gaps, etc., and continues on to the more complicated shear-horizontal modes, as well as straight-crested modes varying along the digonal axis of rotated Y-cut quartz. Modes varying in both of the in-plane directions of crystal plates are also addressed.The analysis within are based on the three-dimensional theories of piezoelectricity and anisotropic elasticity with various approximations when needed. Both free vibration modes (stationary waves) and propagating waves are studied in this text. Forced vibration is also treated in a few places.This book is intended to serve as an informative reference to personnel who employ piezoelectric crystal plates in the course of their profession.

Book Nonlinear Mechanics of Crystals

Download or read book Nonlinear Mechanics of Crystals written by John D. Clayton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes behavior of crystalline solids primarily via methods of modern continuum mechanics. Emphasis is given to geometrically nonlinear descriptions, i.e., finite deformations. Primary topics include anisotropic crystal elasticity, plasticity, and methods for representing effects of defects in the solid on the material's mechanical response. Defects include crystal dislocations, point defects, twins, voids or pores, and micro-cracks. Thermoelastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric behaviors are addressed. Traditional and higher-order gradient theories of mechanical behavior of crystalline solids are discussed. Differential-geometric representations of kinematics of finite deformations and lattice defect distributions are presented. Multi-scale modeling concepts are described in the context of elastic and plastic material behavior. Representative substances towards which modeling techniques may be applied are single- and poly- crystalline metals and alloys, ceramics, and minerals. This book is intended for use by scientists and engineers involved in advanced constitutive modeling of nonlinear mechanical behavior of solid crystalline materials. Knowledge of fundamentals of continuum mechanics and tensor calculus is a prerequisite for accessing much of the text. This book could be used as supplemental material for graduate courses on continuum mechanics, elasticity, plasticity, micromechanics, or dislocation mechanics, for students in various disciplines of engineering, materials science, applied mathematics, and condensed matter physics.
