The contact process is considered as three separated contact regimes, i.e., the fully elastic, mixed elastic一plastic and fully plastic ones. The Hertzian elastic contact solutions and the classical fully plastic contact model of Abbott and Fires tone are used to model the contact behaviors of fully elastically deformed asperities and fully plastically deformed ones, respectively. For the mixed elastic-plastic regime, an improved Hermit interpolation method is applied to enforce the continuity and smoothness at the critical contact interference, and to decrease the interpolation waving effect by transforming the physical quantities of contact load into logarithmic coordinates. The contac t model of rough surfaces is formula ted by using the Greenwood and Williamson^ statistics analysis. Comparisons with the CEB, ZMC and KE models are then performed to examine the effects of plasticity index and mean separation. Agreeing well with the ZMC model, our results show that the total contact load of rough surfaces decreases with the increase in mean separation, and the difference between the prediction results of elastic models and the plastic ones also decreases, indicating that the contact behaviors mainly dominated by plastically deformed asperities have been changed to be controlled by elastically deformed ones. Larger plasticity index represents more plastically deformed asperities, inducing normal contact behaviors mainly dominated by plastic solutions.展开更多

In order to greatlyreduce the computational time, a complex free-interface component mode synthesis (CMS) method is employed to reduce theorder of the model. Based on the proposed method, the effects of unbalance on the breathing mechanism of crack are discussed.Numerical results show that the unbalance can lead to significant changes in the breathing of crack, even when the unbalance force is about an order of magnitude smaller than the self-weight. Moreover, the level and orientation of the unbalance have also remarkable effects on the breathing behaviors of crack. Besides, a new universal non-steady breathing phenomenon of crack is firstly found in this paper, which denotes that the breathing speed of a crack is fluctuated over one revolution when there exists residual unbalance in the cracked rotor.展开更多

Based on this approach, formation of complex 3D configurations with suspended curvy features or hierarchical geometries remains a challenge. In this paper, we incorporate the prestrained shape memory polymer in the 2D precur- sor design to enable local rolling deformations after the mechanical assembly through compressive buckling. A theoretical model captures quantitatively the effect of key design parameters on local rolling deformations. The combination of precisely controlled global buckling and local rolling expands substantially the range of accessible 3D configurations. The combined experimental and theoretical studies over a dozen of examples demonstrate the utility of the proposed strategy in achieving complex reprogrammable 3D mesostructures.展开更多

文摘An elastic and plastic mechanical model is proposed to characterize the normal contact of rough surfaces. The contact process is considered as three separated contact regimes, i.e., the fully elastic, mixed elastic一plastic and fully plastic ones. The Hertzian elastic contact solutions and the classical fully plastic contact model of Abbott and Fires tone are used to model the contact behaviors of fully elastically deformed asperities and fully plastically deformed ones, respectively. For the mixed elastic-plastic regime, an improved Hermit interpolation method is applied to enforce the continuity and smoothness at the critical contact interference, and to decrease the interpolation waving effect by transforming the physical quantities of contact load into logarithmic coordinates. The contac t model of rough surfaces is formula ted by using the Greenwood and Williamson^ statistics analysis. Comparisons with the CEB, ZMC and KE models are then performed to examine the effects of plasticity index and mean separation. Agreeing well with the ZMC model, our results show that the total contact load of rough surfaces decreases with the increase in mean separation, and the difference between the prediction results of elastic models and the plastic ones also decreases, indicating that the contact behaviors mainly dominated by plastically deformed asperities have been changed to be controlled by elastically deformed ones. Larger plasticity index represents more plastically deformed asperities, inducing normal contact behaviors mainly dominated by plastic solutions.
