A semi-analytical solution is obtained in this paper for the micromechanical analysis of the square and hexagonal unit cells using complex potentials. It provides a means of numerical characterisation of unidirectionally fibre-reinforced composites for their effective properties. This process is considered as the forward problem and its inverse counterpart is also established in this paper to extract fibre properties from effective properties of composites. It is formulated into a mathematical optimisation problem in which the difference between predicted and provided effective properties is employed as the objective function with the fibre properties as the optimisation variables. The attempt of such an inverse problem is to address the lack of fibre properties for many types of composites commonly in use. The novelty of the paper lies in both sides of the analyses, forward and inverse, as none is available in the literature in the forms as presented in this paper and, more importantly, in the objective of this paper as an attempt to address the pressing and yet long-standing issue of lack of fibre properties. As a verification of the forward analysis, the predicted effective properties of a composite match perfectly with the finite element method (FEM) results. The same case is also employed to verify the inverse analysis by turning the prediction the other way round. Both the forward and inverse analyses have been validated against a series of experimental data. While the forward analysis is generally applicable to any input data as the properties of the constituents, the inverse analysis is sensitive to the input data. Potentially, the inverse analysis would offer a much-needed and also effective tool for the characterisation of fibres. However, reasonable predictions of fibre properties can only be obtained if input data are reasonably consistent.

Upon reevaluating the influence of residual stresses generated by thermal mismatches in fibrous composites during the curing process, we introduce a modified model for the extraction of a single fiber from an elastic matrix. In contrast to previous models, which solely factored residual stress effects into the boundary conditions at the fiber–matrix interface while omitting them from the constitutive relations, our current model acknowledges bulk residual stress as finite values. Consequently, it yields non-conventional constitutive relations to describe the incremental deformation caused by external pulling forces. We have developed a practical semi-analytical series solution for the radial displacement of the matrix and an exact solution for the radial displacement of the fiber. To validate our modified model, we simplify it to a scenario where the influence of residual stress on the stress–strain relationship is excluded and compare it with results from existing literature. This comparison underscores the soundness of our modified model. We present a phase diagram to illustrate how the impact of residual stress on stress field prediction varies based on the ratio of the fiber modulus to the matrix modulus. This phase diagram serves as a valuable tool for evaluating whether it is advisable to transition from the previous mechanical model, which disregards the influence of residual stress on the stress–strain relationship, to the new model, which takes this influence into account within the stress–strain relationship.

This paper aims to illustrate and compare different approaches for the limit analysis of masonry domes of revolution with an oculus at the top. It specifically focuses on the influence of the limited compressive and tensile strength of masonry on the bearing capacity of the dome. The first assessment is conducted through a semi-analytical formulation that revisits Durand-Claye’s method within the framework of the lower bound theorem of limit analysis. The second investigation is performed using a kinematic approach, which allows for closed-form solutions by exploiting the upper bound theorem of limit analysis and the virtual work theorem. These approaches are applied to a case study that was experimentally tested, involving a hemispherical dome with an oculus. The dome is subjected to its self-weight and a vertical load at the crown. Parametric investigations are presented to compare the results obtained through the proposed methods with those derived from the classical limit analysis of masonry structures, based on Heyman’s hypotheses.

In soft tissue, growth-induced instability is increasingly being viewed as a key agent in certain morphological developments, such as the folding of the cerebral cortex. As such, the study of growth-induced instability in the context of morphoelastic large deformation continuum mechanics is a burgeoning field of study. In this work, we examine some of the connections between these new developments and earlier work that can be viewed as the conventional—or no-growth—hyperelastic theory. By a systematic examination of a standard problem, certain direct correspondences are clarified which effectively permit results of a very general nature in the conventional theory to inform ongoing work in the morphoelastic theory.

We present a fiber-distributed model of the reinforcing collagen of the human cornea. The model describes the basic connections between the components of the tissue by defining an elementary block (cell) and upscaling it to the physical size of the cornea. The cell is defined by two sets of collagen fibrils running in approximately orthogonal directions, characterized by a random distribution of the spatial orientation and connected by chemical bonds of two kinds. The bonds of the first kind describe the lamellar crosslinks, forming the ribbon-like lamellae; while the bonds of the second kind describe the stacking crosslinks, piling up the lamellae to form the structure of the stroma. The spatial replication of the cell produces a truss structure with a considerable number of degrees of freedom. The statistical characterization of the collagen fibrils leads to a mechanical model that reacts to the action of the deterministic intraocular pressure with a stochastic distribution of the displacements, here characterized by their mean value and variance. The strategy to address the solution of the heavy resulting numerical problem is to use the so-called stochastic finite element improved perturbation method combined with a fully explicit solver. The results demonstrate that the variability of the mechanical properties affects in a non-negligible manner the expected response of the structure to the physiological action.

A material-specific length, called the flaw sensitivity length or fractocohesive length, is determined by measuring the strength of samples that contain cracks of various lengths. When the crack length is small compared with the fractocohesive length, the strength is unaffected by the crack. When the crack length is large compared with the fractocohesive length, the strength reduces as the crack length increases. Here we study how the fractocohesive length is affected by the stochastics of the constituents of a material. We simulate a model system, a truss in which the constituents are linearly elastic members forming a geometrically periodic lattice. The stochastics are represented by the scatter of strength among the members. The fractocohesive length scales with the length of each individual member, but the prefactor increases with the degree of scatter in member strength. The fractocohesive length can be much larger than the constituents of a material when the constituents have pronounced statistical variation.

A non-classical local gradient theory of nonferromagnetic thermoelastic dielectrics is presented, incorporating both the local mass-displacement process and the heat-flux gradient effect. The process of local mass displacement is related to the changes in material microstructure. The nonlocal heat conduction law is also addressed in the model. Thus, the generalized relationship between the higher-grade heat and entropy fluxes is adopted. The gradient-type constitutive relations and governing equations are derived using the fundamental principles of continuum mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and electrodynamics. Due to the contribution of higher-grade flux, the nonlocal law of heat conduction is obtained. The constitutive relations for isotropic materials with the corresponding additional material constants are derived. To illustrate the local gradient theory and to show the electro-thermo-mechanical coupling effect in isotropic materials, a straightforward problem is analytically solved for a layered non-piezoelectric structure under non-uniform temperature distribution. The analytical results reveal that the thermal polarization effect can also be pronounced in isotropic materials. To illustrate the model considering the effect of nonlocal heat conduction, the propagation of spherical thermoelastic harmonic waves in a homogeneous and isotropic elastic medium with non-classical heat conduction law is studied.

A hierarchy of asymptotic models governing long-wave low-frequency in-plane motion of a fluid-loaded elastic layer is established. In contrast to a layer with traction-free faces, modelled by Neumann boundary conditions, a fluid-loaded one assumes more involved conditions along the interfaces, dictating a special asymptotic scaling. The latter corresponds to a fluid-borne bending wave, controlled by elastic stiffness of the layer and fluid inertia. In this case, the transverse inertia of the layer and fluid compressibility do not appear at zero-order approximation. The first-order approximation is associated with a Kirchhoff plate, immersed into incompressible fluid. In the studied free vibration setup, the fluid compressibility has to be taken into account only at third order, along with elastic rotary inertia. Transverse shear deformation enters the second-order approximation along with a few other corrections. The conventional impenetrability condition has to be also refined at second order. Dispersion relations corresponding to the developed asymptotic models are compared with the polynomial expansions of the full dispersion relation, obtained from the plane-strain problem of linear elasticity.

Motivated by the change of effective electrical properties grain or phase boundaries, a computational multiscale framework for continua with interfaces at the microscale is proposed. Cohesive-type interfaces are considered at the microscale, such that displacement and electrical potential jumps are accounted for. The governing equations for materials with interfaces under mechanical and electrical loads are provided. Based on these, a computational multiscale formulation is proposed. The coupling between the electrical and mechanical subproblem is established by the constitutive equations at the material interface. In order to investigate deformation-induced property changes at the microscale, the evolution of interface damage is elaborated. The proposed multiscale framework is further examined through various representative boundary value problems so as to identify its key properties.

We use Muskhelishvili’s complex variable formulation to study the interaction problem associated with a circular incompressible liquid inclusion embedded in an infinite isotropic elastic matrix subjected to the action of an edge dislocation at an arbitrary position. A closed-form solution to the problem is derived largely with the aid of analytic continuation. We obtain, in explicit form, expressions for the internal uniform hydrostatic stresses, nonuniform strains and nonuniform rigid body rotation within the liquid inclusion; the hoop stress along the liquid-solid interface on the matrix side and the image force acting on the edge dislocation. We observe that (1) the internal strains and rigid body rotation within the liquid inclusion are independent of the elastic property of the matrix; (2) the internal hydrostatic stress field within the liquid inclusion is unaffected by Poisson’s ratio of the matrix and is proportional to the shear modulus of the matrix; and (3) an unstable equilibrium position always exists for a climbing dislocation.
