Method for Calculating the Near-Surface Effect in Piecewise Homogeneous Bodies at Large Deformations Based on a Two-Level Approach

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

A method is proposed for calculating the near-surface effect in piecewise homogeneous bodies under large deformations based on a combined use of one-level applied and two-level carcass theories. The applied theory is used for a macromechanical continuation of the solution of the problem, but the carcass theory is used in the final part of the loading path or directly at the final loading of the body. The implementation of the problem by the carcass theory for the body as a whole ends with solution of extreme problems using a highly gradient scheme for assemblies of structural blocks near boundary surfaces of the body. The rotation-caused development of configurations of cylinders reinforced with ring fibers is studied using this method and the model of a piecewise homogeneous medium. The results obtained by the carcass theory and the model of a piecewise homogeneous medium differed only slightly, confirming the high accuracy of the analysis using the two-level approach. A higher stability of the numerical implementation of the carcass theory, in comparison with the model of a piecewise homogeneous medium, was revealed when the macromechanical continuation was carried out within the framework of this theory itself. An even higher stability of the approach was reached by implementation of the macromechanical continuation of the applied theory. Performing calculations only for nodal blocks of the medium at the micromechanical level of the carcass theory, together with application of the applied theory for the macromechanical continuation, led to an extremely high efficiency of the two-level approach. In contrast to the piecewise homogeneous medium model, this approach made it possible to study the behavior of piecewise homogeneous cylinders considering the near-surface effect up to the configurationdetermined ultimate rotation speed.
