Physical meaning of elastic constants in Cosserat, void, and microstretch elasticity

نویسنده

چکیده

The physical meaning of Cosserat, void, and microstretch elastic constants is analyzed and interpreted. Various torsion experiment designs provide a clear path to extract Cosserat elastic constants independently of any dilatation gradient sensitivity the material may have. For void elasticity (with sensitivity to dilatation gradients) there is no known quasi-static modality to demonstrate phenomena or extract elastic constants independently of any sensitivity to rotation gradients. Wave methods may be appropriate if there is minimal viscoelastic dispersion. Microstretch elasticity, which includes sensitivity to gradients of rotation and of dilatation could account for bending effects larger than those of Cosserat elasticity.

Experimental evidence of rotational elastic waves in granular phononic crystals.

A generalized theory of elasticity, taking into account the rotational degrees of freedom of point bodies constituting a continuum, was proposed at the beginning of the twentieth century by the Cosserat brothers. We report the experimental observation of coupled rotational-translational modes in a noncohesive granular phononic crystal. While absent in the classical theory of elasticity, these e...

Elastic and viscoelastic behavior of chiral materials

Chiral materials are not invariant to inversions: there is a distinction between rightand left-handed material. Material properties such as piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity, represented by tensors of odd rank, can only occur in chiral materials. Chiral e!ects in elasticity cannot be expressed within classical elasticity since the modulus tensor, which is fourth rank, is unchanged under an i...

Bending of a Cosserat Elastic Bar of Square Cross Section - Theory and Experiment

Pure bending experiments on prismatic bars of square cross-section composed of reticulated polymer foam exhibit deformation behavior not captured by classical elasticity theory. Perhaps the clearest example of this is the observed sigmoidal deformation of the bars’ lateral surfaces, which are predicted by classical elasticity theory to tilt but remain planar upon pure moment application. Such f...

Wave propagation in a transversely isotropic microstretch elastic solid

Background: The theory of microstretch elastic bodies was first developed by Eringen (1971, 1990, 1999, 2004). This theory was developed by extending the theory of micropolar elastcity. Each material point in this theory has three deformable directors. Methods: The governing equations of a transversely isotropic microstretch material are specialized in x-z plane. Plane wave solutions of these g...
