Upon compression, some soft granular crystals undergo pattern transformation. Recent studies have unveiled that the underlying mechanism of this transformation is closely tied to microscopic instability, resulting in symmetry breaking. This intriguing phenomenon gives rise to unconventional mechanical properties in the granular crystals, paving the way for potential metamaterial application. However, no consistent approach has been reported for studying other unexplored transformable granular crystals. In this study, we propose a systematic approach to identify a new set of pattern-transformable diatomic granular crystals having tunable phononic band-gaps. Utilizing diatomic compact packing as a foundation, we first present a catalog of viable particle arrangements, considering the instability arising from kinematic constraints between articles. Subsequently, simple mass-spring models are constructed based on the contact network of the aforementioned particle arrangements. To identify pattern-transformable granular crystals, these mass-spring models are employed for both instability analyses within the linear perturbation framework and quasi-static analyses involving infinitely-periodic configurations. The conclusive pattern transformation in these chosen granular crystals is ultimately validated through detailed finite element models employing continuum elements. Furthermore, the impact of their pattern transformation under compression is highlighted by observing the evolution in their phononic band structure.

Compression of compressible, linearly elastic, annular disks by flat rigid platens is analyzed. Coulomb (Amonton) friction is assumed to act at the interfaces between the disk and the platens. Slip may occur in an outer annular region while the inner annular (bonded, stick) region of the disk does not slip. The critical radius (slip boundary) is of major interest. The governing equilibrium equations in terms of the deflections are satisfied exactly. Approximations are made in some of the boundary conditions and the transition (matching) conditions at the critical radius. Numerical results are presented for nearly incompressible disks. The effects of the radius ratio, aspect ratio, and Poisson's ratio of the disk, and of the coefficient of friction at the platens, on the critical radius, effective compression modulus, stresses, and radial deflection are investigated. Applications include structural (especially bridge) bearings, seismic-isolation devices, mounting blocks and bushings, gaskets, and sealing components.

Abstract Theoretical and numerical analyses are conducted to rigorously construct master curves that can be used for interpretation of displacement-controlled poroelastic spherical indentation test. A fully coupled poroelastic solution is first derived within the framework of Biot's theory using the McNamee-Gibson displacement function method. The fully saturated porous medium is assumed to consist of slightly compressible solid and fluid phases and the surface is assumed to be impermeable over the contact area and permeable everywhere else. In contrast to the cases in our previous studies with an either fully permeable or impermeable surface, the mixed drainage condition yields two coupled sets of dual integral equations instead of one in the Laplace transform domain. The theoretical solutions show that for this class of poroelastic spherical indentation problems, relaxation of the normalized indentation force is affected by material properties through weak dependence on a single derived material constant only. Finite element analysis is then performed in order to examine the differences between the theoretical solution, obtained by imposing the normal displacement over the contact area, and the numerical results where frictionless contact between a rigid sphere and the poroelastic medium is explicitly modeled. A four-parameter elementary function, an approximation of the theoretical solution with its validity supported by the numerical analysis, is proposed as the master curve that can be conveniently used to aid the interpretation of the poroelastic spherical indentation test. Application of the master curve for the ramp-hold loading scenario is also discussed.

This paper presents a closed form solution for the energy release rate of face/core debonds in the Mode II end notched flexure (ENF) sandwich configuration. The finite-length sandwich specimen is considered to have a “debonded” region and a “joined” region. In the later, the interface between the top face and the substrate (core and bottom face) is modeled by an elastic foundation, which is a uniform distribution of shear and normal springs. Based on the Timoshenko beam theory, the solution for a general asymmetric sandwich construction is derived. The energy release rate expression is derived via the J-integral. Another closed form expression for the energy release rate is derived from the energy released by a differential spring as the debond propagates. In this closed form solution there is no fitting and everything, including the foundation constants, are given in closed form. Results are produced for a range of face/core stiffness ratios and debond length/core thickness ratios, and are compared with the corresponding ones from a finite element solution. A very good agreement is observed except for small debond lengths vs specimen thickness.

Hard-magnetic soft materials, which exhibit finite deformation under magnetic loading, have emerged as a promising class of soft active materials for the development of phononic structures with tunable elastic wave band gap characteristics. In this paper, we present a gradient-based topology optimization framework for designing the hard-magnetic soft materials-based two-phased phononic structures with wide and magnetically tunable anti-plane shear wave band gaps. The incompressible Gent hyperelastic material model, along with the ideal hard-magnetic soft material model, is used to characterize the constitutive behavior of the hard-magnetic soft phononic structure phases. To extract the dispersion curves, an in-house finite element model in conjunction with Bloch's theorem is employed. The {method of moving asymptotes} is used to iteratively update the design variables and obtain the optimal distribution of the hard-magnetic soft phases within the phononic structure unit cell. Analytical sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the gradient of the band gap maximization function with respect to each one of the design variables. Numerical results show that the optimized phononic structures exhibit a wide band gap width in comparison to a standard hard-magnetic soft phononic structure with a central circular inclusion, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed numerical framework. The numerical framework presented in this study, along with the derived conclusions, can serve as a valuable guide for the design and development of futuristic tunable wave manipulators.

This work numerically explores the anisotropy, impact phase wave propagation, buckling resistance, and natural vibration of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and UHPC-steel interpenetrating phase composite (IPC) with triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs), including sheet and solid Gyroid, Primitive, Diamond, and I-WP. The experiment is conducted verifying the accuracy of the numerical model in terms of Young's modulus of polylactic acid (PLA)-based TPMS lattices and PLA-cement IPCs with TPMS cores, with the highest percent difference of 15% found for IPCs and 17% found for lattice. The results indicate that UHPC material with sheet Gyroid exhibits the least extreme anisotropy in response to the varying orientation among other lattices regardless of the change of solid density, making it the ideal candidate for construction materials. Interestingly, compared to UHPC-based TPMS lattice, IPCs possess a much smaller anisotropy and exhibit almost isotropy regardless the variation of solid density and TPMS topology, offering a free selection of TPMS type to fabricate IPCs without much care of anisotropy. The phase wave and buckling resistance of UHPC- and IPC-based beams with TPMSs nonlinearly decrease with a drop of TPMS solid density, but it is the almost linear pattern for the case of natural vibration frequency. UHPC material and IPC with sheet Gyroid lattice are found to possess the lowest phase wave velocity and exhibit the least anisotropy of wave propagation, showing it as an ideal candidate for UHPC material to suppress the destructive energy induced by the external impact.

Recent experiments have found that a fiber-mass system can self-oscillate along the vertical direction under a non-uniform temperature field, which necessitates significant vertical space. To address the challenge in adapting to situations with limited vertical space, the current work introduces a self-oscillating string-mass system, comprising of a mass ball and a thermos-responsive liquid crystal elastomer string exposed to a constant gradient temperature. By employing theoretical modeling and numerical simulation, we've identified two motion regimes of the system, namely, the static regime and the self-oscillation regime, and elucidated the mechanism of self-oscillation. Utilizing the analytical method, we derived the expressions for bifurcation point, amplitude and frequency of the self-oscillation, and investigated the impact of system parameters on these aspects, which were verified by numerical solutions. Compared to a fiber-mass system, the string-mass system has superior stability to deal with small horizontal disturbances, can amplify its amplitude and frequency limited by small thermal deformation of material, and saves a significant amount of vertical space. Given these attributes, such self-oscillating string-mass system presents novel possibilities for designing energy harvesters, active machinery and soft robots.

This article reveals how apparently similar looking nano-particles with same size, shape and mass may exhibit widely varying Brownian diffusivity due to inherent features of nano-scale dynamics. Such variabilities may, in certain cases, reach order of magnitude fluctuations depending on the interfacial and bulk properties of the Brownian body. Accordingly, the theory explains several unanswered questions in connection to submicron systems including anomalous thermal properties of nano-fluids and strangely varying transmittivities of biologically originated particulate droplets.

Auxetic architected materials present a novel class of damage-tolerant materials with tunable mechanical characteristics and high energy absorption due to their unique ability to laterally contract and densify when subjected to axial compressive loading. The current state of research on negative Poisson's ratio materials mainly focuses on 2D geometries and a few families of 3D geometries with limited experimental comparisons between different architectures and various geometrical features. Furthermore, when manufactured via laser powder bed fusion, the influence of as-built deviations of geometrical and material properties inherently present due to the melt pool solidification process for thin features is relatively unexplored in the case of metal architected materials. The authors aim to study the elastic properties, peak characteristics, and failure modes of steel auxetic truss lattices subjected to axial compression while also addressing the uncertainties inherent to the metal laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of architected materials. This work presents an experimental and computational exploration and comparison of two promising three-dimensional auxetic truss lattice families of low relative densities. A comprehensive investigation of metal negative Poisson's ratio mechanical metamaterials is presented, including the selection of the architectures, modeling, laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing, as-built part characterization, material testing, and mechanical testing under axial compression. The study of such architectures can unlock their potential in making them readily adaptable to a wide variety of engineering applications.

This paper provides the necessary and sufficient conditions for a multi-degree-of-freedom linear potential system with an arbitrary damping matrix to be uncoupled into independent subsystems of at most two degrees-of-freedom using a real orthogonal transformation. The incorporation of additional information about the matrices, which many structural and mechanical systems commonly possess, shows a reduction in the number of these conditions to three. Several new results are obtained and are illustrated through examples. A useful general form for the damping matrix is developed that guarantees uncoupling of such systems when they satisfy just two conditions. The results provided herein lead to new physical insights into the dynamical behavior of potential systems with general damping matrices and to robust computational procedures. It is shown that the dynamics of a damped potential system in which the damping matrix may be arbitrary is identical to that of a damped gyroscopic potential system with a symmetric damping matrix. This brings, for the first time, these two systems, which are seen today as belonging to different categories of dynamical systems, under a unified framework.
