    Two-dimensional analysis of size effects in strain-gradient granular solids with damage-induced anisotropy evolution

    No full text
    We analyze in two dimensions the mechanical behavior of materials with granular microstructures modeled by means of a variationally formulated strain-gradient continuum approach based on micromechanics and show that it can capture microstructural-size-dependent effects. Tension-compression asymmetry of grain-assembly interactions, as well as microscale damage, is taken into account and the continuum scale is linked to the grain-scale mechanisms. Numerical results are provided for finite deformations and substantiate previous research. As expected, results show interesting size-dependent effects that are typical of strain-gradient modeling

    On a hemi-variational formulation for a 2D elasto-plastic-damage strain gradient solid with granular microstructure†

    We report a continuum theory for 2D strain gradient materials accounting for a class of dissipation phenomena. The continuum description is constructed by means of a (reversible) placement function and by (irreversible) damage and plastic functions. Besides, expressions of elastic and dissipation energies have been assumed as well as the postulation of a hemi-variational principle. No flow rules have been assumed and plastic deformation is also compatible, that means it can be derived by a placement function. Strain gradient Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), boundary conditions (BCs) and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) type conditions are derived by a hemi variational principle. PDEs and BCs govern the evolution of the placement descriptor and KKT conditions that of damage and plastic variables. Numerical experiments for the investigated homogeneous cases do not need the use of Finite Element simulations and have been performed to show the applicability of the model. In particular, the induced anisotropy of the response has been investigated and the coupling between damage and plasticity evolution has been shown

    Micro-mechano-morphology-informed continuum damage modeling with intrinsic 2nd gradient (pantographic) grain–grain interactions

    No full text
    In a previous work, we have shown that a granular micromechanics approach can lead to load path dependent continuum models. In the present work, we generalize such a micromechanical approach introducing an intrinsic 2nd gradient energy storage mechanism (resembling pantographic micromechanism), in the grain–grain interaction. Such a mechanism, represents long-range effects but could also be thought as deriving from the utilization of an actual pantographic connection between two grains in a granular metamaterial. Taking advantage of the homogenization approach developed in previous works, we determine the mechanical behavior of the macro-scale continuum and carry out parametric analyses with respect to the averaged intergranular distance and with respect to the stiffness associated to the pantographic term. We show that with the inclusion of the pantographic term mentioned above, the desired thickness of the localization zone can be modeled and finely tuned successfully. We also show that the complex mechanics of load-path dependency can be predicated by the micromechanical effects and the introduced pantographic term

    Some aspects of the teachings N. V. Timofeev-Ressovsky on the work «Biosphere and humanity» / D. Mayorchik

    Социальные и экологические проблемы современностиПроблема недостатка биологических ресурсов в связи с перенаселением Земли является одной из важнейших проблем, с которой столкнется человечество в ближайшем будущем. По оценкам ученых, биологические запасы нашей планеты ограничены, Земля может прокормить и снабдить другими видами сырья около 10–12 млрд людей. В труде «Биосфера и человечество» Н. В. Тимофеев-Ресовский рассмотрел эту проблему по трем основным пунктам: «энергетический вход» в биосферу; биологический круговорот биосферы; выход из биологического круговорота в геологию. Рассмотрев все составляющие этой проблемы, Тимофеев-Ресовский пришел к выводу, что мы можем увеличить продуктивность нашей Земли более чем в 10 раз.The problem of lack of biological resources due to overpopulation of the Earth is one of the most important problems that our offspring will face in the near future. Since the biological reserves of our planet are limited, according to modern estimates of scientists, the Earth can feed and supply about 10 to 12 billion people with other types of raw materials. In the work «Biosphere and Humanity», Timofeev–Ressovsky considered this problem in three main points: energy input to the biosphere; biological biosphere circulation; exit from the biological cycle into geology. Having considered all the components of this problem, Timofeev-Resovsky came to the conclusion that we can increase the productivity of our Earth by more than 10 times
