This paper is concerned with the thermoelastic bending of FG beams resting on two-layer elastic foundations. One of these layers is Winkler springs with a variable modulus while the other is considered as a shear layer with a constant modulus. The beams are considered simply supported and subjected to thermo-mechanical loading. Temperature-dependent material properties are considered for the FG beams, which are assumed to be graded continuously across the panel thickness. The used theories contain undetermined integral terms which lead to a reduction of unknowns functions. Several micromechanical models are used to estimate the effective two-phase FG material properties as a function of the particles' volume fraction considering thermal effects. Analytical solutions for the thermo-mechanical bending analysis are obtained based on Navier's method that satisfies the boundary conditions. Finally, the numerical results are provided to reveal the effect of explicit micromechanical models, geometric parameters, temperature distribution and elastic foundation parameters on the thermoelastic response of FG beams.

A poroelastic composite material, containing different material phases and filled with fluids, serves as a model to formulate the overall ablative behaviors of such materials. This article deals with the assessment of variation in nondeterministic poroelastic properties of two-phase composite materials using micromechanical representative volume element (RVE) models. Considering the configuration and arrangement of pores in a matrix phase, various RVEs are modeled and analyzed according to their porosity. In order to quantitatively investigate the effects of microstructure, changes in effective elastic moduli and poroelastic parameters are measured via finite element (FE) analysis. The poroelastic parameters are calculated from the effective elastic moduli and the pore-pressure-induced strains. The reliability of the numerical results is verified through image-based FE models with the actual shape of pores in carbon-phenolic ablative materials. Additionally, the variation of strain energy density is measured, which can possibly be used to evaluate microstress concentrations.

This paper presents an analysis of the bending, buckling and free vibration of functionally graded sandwich beams resting on elastic foundation by using a refined quasi-3D theory in which both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects are included. The displacement field contains only three unknowns, which is less than the number of parameters of many other shear deformation theories. In order to homogenize the micromechanical properties of the FGM sandwich beam, the material properties are derived on the basis of several micromechanical models such as Tamura, Voigt, Reuss and many others. The principle of virtual works is used to obtain the equilibrium equations. The elastic foundation is modeled using the Pasternak mathematical model. The governing equations are obtained through the Hamilton's principle and then are solved via Navier solution for the simply supported beam. The accuracy of the proposed theory can be noticed by comparing it with other 3D solution available in the literature. A detailed parametric study is presented to show the influence of the micromechanical models on the general behavior of FG sandwich beams on elastic foundation.

Implant용 bioabsorbable 복합재료의 계면물성과 미세파괴분해 메카니즘을 micromechanical 시험법과 음향방출을 이용하여 평가하였다. Poly(ester-amide)와 bioactive 유리섬유의 인장 강도와 탄성률 그리고 연신율은 분해시간에 따라 점차적으로 감소하는 경향을 보인 반면, chitosan 섬유는 분해시간 내에서 거의 변화가 없었다. Dual matrix composite 시험법을 이용하여 측정된 bioactive 유리섬유와 poly(L-lactide) 사이의 계면전단강도는 chitosan이나 poly(ester-amide) 섬유의 경우 보다 큰 값을 보였다. 그리고 계면전단강도 감소는 bioactive 유리섬유 강화 poly(L-lactide) 복합재료에서 가장 빨랐으며, chitosan 섬유의 경우가 상대적으로 가장 느린 경향을 보였다. Poly(ester-amide) 섬유의 분해시간에 따른 음향방출 진폭과 에너지는 점차로 감소하였고, 음향방출 진폭의 분포 역시 점차 좁아짐을 보여주었다. Bioactive 유리섬유에서 인장파단에 의한 음향방출 진폭과 에너지는 압축파단의 경우 보다 크게 나타났으며, 또한, 인장 및 압축시험 모두에서 초기상태가 분해 후 보다 더 큰 값을 보였다. 본 연구에서 평가한 계면물성과 미세파괴분해 메카니즘은 생흡수성 복합재료의 성능을 조절할 수 있는 중요한 요소가 될 것이다.

In the present work, by considering the agglomeration effect of single-walled carbon nanotubes, free vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) nanocomposite sandwich plates resting on Pasternak foundation are presented. The volume fractions of randomly oriented agglomerated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction. To determine the effect of CNT agglomeration on the elastic properties of CNT-reinforced composites, a two-parameter micromechanical model of agglomeration is employed. In this research work, an equivalent continuum model based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach is employed to estimate the effective constitutive law of the elastic isotropic medium (matrix) with oriented straight CNTs. The 2-D generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is used to discretize the equations of motion and to implement the various boundary conditions. The proposed rectangular plates have two opposite edges simply supported, while all possible combinations of free, simply supported and clamped boundary conditions are applied to the other two edges. The benefit of using the considered power-law distribution is to illustrate and present useful results arising from symmetric and asymmetric profiles. The effects of two-parameter elastic foundation modulus, geometrical and material parameters together with the boundary conditions on the frequency parameters of the laminated FG nanocomposite plates are investigated. It is shown that the natural frequencies of structure are seriously affected by the influence of CNTs agglomeration. This study serves as a benchmark for assessing the validity of numerical methods or two-dimensional theories used to analysis of laminated plates.

In this paper, we developed a physically-based micromechanical model for inelastic deformation of ceramic powders. The aggregate response of ceramic particles was modeled using the two-surface yield function which considered the shear-induced dilatancy caused by friction, rolling resistance and cohesion between powder particles and consolidation caused by plastic deformation of powder themselves under high compression. The constitutive equations were implemented into the user-subroutine VUMAT of finite element program ABAQUS/Explicit. The material parameters in the constitutive model were identified by calibrating the model to reproduce data from triaxial compression tests and simple compression tests. The density distribution obtained by using the proposed model was in good quantitative agreement with the experimental results of the triaxial compression and cold isostaic compression as well.

This paper presents the vibration analysis of cracked ceramic-reinforced aluminum composite beams by using a method based on changes in modal strain energy. The crack is considered to be straight. The effective properties of composite materials of the beams are estimated through Mori-Tanaka micromechanical model. Comparison study and numerical simulations with various parameters; ceramic volume fraction, reinforcement aspect ratio, ratio of the reinforcement Young's modulus to the matrix Young's modulus and ratio of the reinforcement density to the matrix density are taken into investigation. Results demonstrate the pronounced effects of these parameters on intact and cracked ceramic aluminum beams.

흙의 이방적 변형 특성은 파괴 이전 상태의 변형 거동을 정확히 이해하기 위한 중요한 특성 중 하나이다. 최근 활발히 이루어지고 있는 실험적 연구 결과는 사질토fl서 나타나는 이방적 탄성계수가 직교 이방 탄성이론으로 표현될 수 있으며, 또한 각 방향의 수직 탄성계수가 해당 방향의 수직 응력에 의한 지수 함수로 표현될 수 있음을 보여준다. 이러한 사질토의 탄성계수 이방성은 입자의 미시역학적 특성과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 사질토는 수많은 입자에 의해 구성된 입상체이므로 각 입자간의 접촉면에서 나타나는 힘-변위 관계가 거시적 인 입상체의 응력-변형률 관계를 지배한다. 따라서 사질토의 변형을 입자 간 상호 작용으로 해석하는 미시역학적 접근 방법은 흙의 이방적 변형 특성을 연구하는 가장 좋은 방법 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 미시 역학 이론을 토대로 흙의 이방적 탄성 변형 특성을 예측하는 수치해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 실제 토립자의 불규칙한 접촉면 상태를 간략하게 모사할 수 있는 접촉 모델을 제시하였다. 삼축 시험 등의 일반적인 역학 시험으로부터 얻을 수 있는 거시적 탄성 응력-변형률 관계로부터, 미시역학 모델에 필요한 변수를 결정할 수 있는 해석해를 유도하였다 실내 시험을 통해 구할 수 있는 거시적 탄성계수와 해석해를 이용하여 모델 변수를 구하는 방법을 구체적으로 제시하였다.

Nondestructive damage sensing and mechanical properties for thermal treated carbon nanotube(CNT) and nanofiber(CNF)/epoxy composites were investigated using electro-micromechanical technique. Carbon black (CB) was used only for the comparison. Electro-micromechanical techniques were applied to obtain the fiber damage and stress transferring effect of carbon nanocomposites with their contents. Thermal treatment and temperature affected on apparent modulus and electrical properties on nanocomposites due to enhanced inherent properties of each CNMs. Coefficient of variation (COV) of volumetric electrical resistance can be used to obtain the dispersion degree indirectly for various CNMs. Dispersion and surface modification are very important parameters to obtain improved mechanical and electrical properties of CNMs for multifunctional applications. Further optimized functionalization and dispersion conditions will be investigated for the following work continuously.

고온에서 열화학적 분해 현상을 겪는 고분자 기지 복합재료는 기지 내부의 기공도가 급격히 증가한다. 기공의 생성은 재료의 탄성 계수와 파손 강도를 감소시키며, 기공 내부의 가스 압력은 재료의 열기계적 거동에 영향을 준다. 본 논문에서는 기지 내부에 많은 기공이 포함된 일방향 섬유 강화 복합재료의 이차원 대표 체적 요소를 설정하고 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 기공 상태에 따른 복합재료의 유효 탄성 계수, 기공 탄성 계수, 파손 강도 등을 산출하였다. 특히, 기지 재료의 특성에 많은 영향을 받는 섬유 수직 방향의 파손 강도가 원래 기지 강도보다 현격히 낮게 산출되며, 기공도가 증가함에 따라 지속적으로 떨어지는 경향을 확인하였다.
