Damage processes in thermoviscoelastic materials with damage-dependent thermal expansion coefficients
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we prove existence of global in time weak solutions for a highly nonlinear PDE system arising in the context of damage phenomena in thermoviscoelastic materials. The main novelty of the present contribution with respect to the ones already present in the literature consists in the possibility of taking into account a damage-dependent thermal expansion coefficient. This term implies the presence of nonlinear couplings in the PDE system, which make the analysis more challenging.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE THERMAL DAMAGE CHARACTERIZATION OF CORDIERITE-MULLITE REFRACTORIES
Abstract: Refractory materials containing cordierite (2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2) and mullite (3Al2O3.2SiO2) are used as support in furnaces, because of their low thermal expansion properties which confer them a very good ability to thermal shock resistance. Composed of two phases presenting very different CTE (1.5–3×10-6 for cordierite and 4–6×10-6 K-1 for mullite), these materials can develop damag...
متن کاملFrequency dependent thermal expansion in binary viscoelastic composites
Abstract The effective thermal expansion coefficient β∗ of a binary viscoelastic composite is shown to be frequency dependent even if the thermal expansion coefficients βA and βB of both constituents are themselves frequency independent. Exact calculations for binary viscoelastic systems show that β∗ is related to constituent values βA, βB , volume fractions, and bulk moduli KA, KB , as well as...
متن کاملEvaluation of Ductile Damage Criteria in Hot Forming Processes
The process of ductile fracture which occurs due to the accumulation, growth and combination of defects or cracks of material is called ductile damage. Failure in materials can be predicted, using damage mechanics and damage criteria. On the other hand, most of the materials depended to the manufacturing process, are formed in warm or hot conditions so that; the temperature also affects on the ...
متن کاملSolution of the spherically symmetric linear thermoviscoelastic problem in the inertia-free limit.
The coupling between mechanical and thermal properties due to thermal expansion complicates the problem of measuring frequency-dependent thermoviscoelastic properties, in particular for highly viscous liquids. A simplification arises if there is spherical symmetry where--as detailed in the present paper--the thermoviscoelastic problem may be solved analytically in the inertia-free limit, i.e., ...
متن کاملCell damaging by irradiating non-thermal plasma to the water: Mathematical modeling of chemical processes
Recently non-thermal plasma (NTP) is applied for many therapeutic applications. By NTP irradiating to the tissues or cell-lines, the water molecules (H2O) would be also activated leading to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). By irradiating plasma to bio-solution, its main output including vacuum UV to UV causes the photolysis of H2O leading to generat...
