چکیده

A layer of viscoelastic material embedded in an infinite medium also viscoelastic tends to fold through instability when the system is compressed in a direction parallel with the layer. This phenomenon which was treated previously by using an approximate plate theory, [l, 21, is analyzed here by using an exact theory for the deformation of a continuum under prestress [3, 4, 5, 61. The effect of the compressive prestress in the embedding medium is taken into account, and it is found that although it is not always negligible, it tends to be very small under conditions where the instability of the layer is strong. The same conclusion holds for the error involved in the use of a plate theory for the layer instead of the exact equations for a prestressed continuum. In the course of the analysis we have also treated the problem of a semi-infinite viscoelastic half space subject to a uniform internal compression parallel with the boundary and a surface load normal to this boundary. The compressive load produces an increase of the surface deflection under the normal load. This effect appears through an amplification factor which is evaluated numerically for the particular example of an elastic body. It is shown that under certain conditions the free surface of the compressed semiinfinite medium may become unstable and will tend to wrinkle. This is suggested as a probable explanation for the wrinkles which appear on the surface of a body subjected to a plastic compression.

On the Folding of a Viscoelastic Medium with Adhering Layer under Compressive Initial Stress*

The exact solution is given for the folding by compression of a viscoelastic layer embedded in a viscoelastic medium, under the assumption that there is perfect adherence between layer and medium. This solution agrees closely with the earlier result obtained by Biot which was based on the assumption that layer and medium could slip over each other. In a previous publication, Biot [l] has discus...

Rayleigh Waves in a Homogeneous Magneto-Thermo Voigt-Type Viscoelastic Half-Space under Initial Surface Stresses

This paper deals with the propagation of magneto-thermo Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous viscoelastic half-space under initial stress. It has been observed that velocity of Rayleigh waves depends on viscosity, magnetic field, temperature and initial stress of the half-space. The frequency equation for Rayleigh waves under the effect of magnetic field, stress and temperature for both viscoelastic...
