Book excerpt: A variety of materials reside in the purported elasticity universality class characterized by 'nonlinear mesoscopic elasticity. Rocks, the prototypical member of this class, have extreme nonlinearity (NL), hysteresis (H), and discrete memory (DM). The experimental manifestations of NL, H, and DM will be described with Berea sandstone as example. NL, H, and DM lead to unusual behavior in laboratory resonance measurements and in a variety of geophysical contexts. An effort will be made to identify the microscopic features of materials that might be placed in this elasticity universality class.

Download or read book SLOW DYNAMICS EXPERIMENTS IN SOLIDS WITH NONLINEAR MESOSCOPIC ELASTICITY written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As revealed by longitudinal bar resonance experiments, materials such as rocks and concrete show a rich diversity of nonlinear elastic behavior. As a function of increasing drive level, resonance frequencies shift downward by several percent, the resonant line shape changes, and harmonics and slow dynamics appear. Slow dynamics [1] refers to the time-dependent recovery of an elastic modulus to its initial value after being softened by large strain. In order to explore the mechanisms of nonlinear response including slow dynamics, we performed experiments on concrete and several different earth materials. The softening (conditioning) and recovery processes appear to be asymmetric. Conditioning takes place quickly; full recovery of the elastic modulus (as measured by drift of the resonance peak) takes minutes to hours, depending on the length of time the conditioning strain was applied. We find that for a wide variety of rocks and concretes, the recovery of the resonant frequency goes as log(time). Logarithmic time-dependence is a phenomenon associated with static friction and restoration of surface contacts, which in rocks probably takes place at touching crack surfaces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides the reader with the knowledge, tools, and methods to understand the phenomenon of hysteresis in porous materials. As many challenges have been met only recently, the book summarizes the research results usually found only scattered in the literature, connecting knowledge from traditionally separated research fields to provide a better understanding of the physical phenomena of coupled elastic-fluid systems. The result is an invaluable self-contained reference book for materials scientists, civil, mechanical and construction engineers concerned with development and maintenance of structures made of porous materials.

There are several worked-out problems in each chapter and additional exercises at the end of the book, plus mathematical expressions are bery often given in more than one notation. The book is intended primarily for students and practising engineers in mechanical and civil engineering, although students and experts from applied mathematics, materials science and other related fields will also find it useful.
Download or read book Finite Elasticity And Viscoelasticity A Course In The Nonlinear Mechanics Of Solids written by Aleksey Drozdov and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996-01-11 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic and self-consistent introduction to the nonlinear continuum mechanics of solids, from the main axioms to comprehensive aspects of the theory. The objective is to expose the most intriguing aspects of elasticity and viscoelasticity with finite strains in such a way as to ensure mathematical correctness, on the one hand, and to demonstrate a wide spectrum of physical phenomena typical only of nonlinear mechanics, on the other.A novel aspect of the book is that it contains a number of examples illustrating surprising behaviour in materials with finite strains, as well as comparisons between theoretical predictions and experimental data for rubber-like polymers and elastomers.The book aims to fill a gap between mathematicians specializing in nonlinear continuum mechanics, and physicists and engineers who apply the methods of solid mechanics to a wide range of problems in civil and mechanical engineering, materials science, and polymer physics. The book has been developed from a graduate course in applied mathematics which the author has given for a number of years.

Download or read book Nonlinear Elasticity written by R. W. Dickey and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonlinear Elasticity presents a description of research and result on various nonlinear problems arising in elasticity. This book covers a variety of topics, including shallow elastic membranes, nonlinear elasticity, finite deformations of elastic solids, and nonlinear thermoelasticity. Organized into 11 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the nonlinear theory of buckling of elastic shells. This text then examines the ways in which the energy criterion supplies a necessary condition for asymptotic stability. Other chapters consider some of the phenomena, both physical and mathematical, that typify the large deformation of a nonlinearly elastic body. This book discusses as well the concepts leading to a criterion for instabilities and discusses how the criterion applies to some well-known ideal materials. The final chapter deals with the structure of strong shocks and studies the evolution of such a shock produced by a suddenly-applied strain. This book is a valuable resource for mathematicians.

This book was released on 2000-02-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the book is the presentation of the fundamental mathematical and physical concepts of continuum mechanics of solids in a unified description so as to bring young researchers rapidly close to their research area. Accordingly, emphasis is given to concepts of permanent interest, and details of minor importance are omitted. The formulation is achieved systematically in absolute tensor notation, which is almost exclusively used in modern literature. This mathematical tool is presented such that study of the book is possible without permanent reference to other works.
