چکیده
We extend the study [1] devoted to the dynamic response of a structure made of two linearly elastic bodies connected by a thin soft adhesive layer made of a Kelvin Voigt type nonlinear viscoelastic material to the case of a Generalized Standard Material with a positive definite quadratic density of free energy. A concise formulation in terms of an evolution equation in a Hilbert space of possible states with finite energy makes it possible to identify the asymptotic behavior, when some geometrical and mechanical parameters tend to their natural limits, like the response of the two bodies connected by a mechanical constraint. Its law has the same structure as that of the adhesive but with coefficients accounting for the relative behavior of the parameters. Résumé On étend au cas d’un matériau standard généralisé l’étude [1] consacrée à la réponse dynamique d’un assemblage de deux corps linéairement élastiques liés par une couche adhésive mince et molle constituée d’un matériau viscoélastique non linéaire de type Kelvin-Voigt. Une formulation concise en termes d’équation d’évolution dans un espace de Hilbert d’états possibles d’énergie mećanique finie permet d’identifier le comportement asymptotique, lorsque des paramètres géométriques et mécaniques tendent vers leurs limites naturelles, comme celui de la réponse de l’assemblage des deux corps par une liaison mécanique. Sa loi a la même structure que celle de l’adhésif mais avec des coefficients rendant compte du comportement relatif des paramètres.

A finite elements study on the role of primary cilia in sensing mechanical stimuli to cells by calculating their response to the fluid flow
The primary cilium which is an organelle in nearly every cell in the vertebrate body extends out of the cell surface like an antenna and is known as cell sensor of mechanical and chemical stimuli. In previous numerical simulations, researchers modeled this organelle as a cantilevered beam attached to the cell surface. In the present study, however, we present a novel model that accommodates for...
متن کاملDynamics of Love-Type Waves in Orthotropic Layer Under the Influence of Heterogeneity and Corrugation
The present problem deals with the propagation of Love-type surface waves in a bedded structure comprises of an inhomogeneous orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. The upper boundary and the interface between two media are considered to be corrugated. An analytical method (separation of variables) is adapted to solve the second order PDEs, which governs the equations of motion. Equations...
متن کاملDigital instability of a confined elastic meniscus.
Thin soft elastic layers serving as joints between relatively rigid bodies may function as sealants, thermal, electrical, or mechanical insulators, bearings, or adhesives. When such a joint is stressed, even though perfect adhesion is maintained, the exposed free meniscus in the thin elastic layer becomes unstable, leading to the formation of spatially periodic digits of air that invade the ela...

متن کاملMulti-materials with strong interface: Variational modelings
We introduce a simplified model for a multi-material made up of two elastic bodies connected by a strong thin material layer whose stiffness grows as 1 . The model is obtained by identifying the Γ-limit of the stored strain energy functional of the physical problem when the thickness of the intermediate layer tends to zero. The intermediate layer behaves as a stiffening elastic membrane. Furthe...
