Finite-Deformation Modeling of Elastodynamics and Smart Materials with Nonlinear Electro-Magneto-Elastic Coupling Finite-Deformation Modeling of Elastodynamics and Smart Materials with Nonlinear Electro-Magneto-Elastic Coupling Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Lindsey Lowe, B.S., M.S. Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Prof. Sheng-Tao John Yu, Advisor Prof. Marcelo J. Dapino Prof. Daniel A. Mendelsohn Prof. Amos Gilat Dr. Kelly S. Carney c Copyright by Robert Lindsey Lowe 2015 Abstract Eulerian formulations of the equations of finite-deformation solid dynamics are ideal for numerical implementation in modern high-resolution shock-capturing schemes. These powerful numerical techniques – traditionally employed in unsteady compress- ible flow applications – are becoming increasingly popular in the computational solid mechanics community. Their primary appeal is an exceptional ability to capture the evolution and interaction of nonlinear traveling waves. Currently, however, Eulerian models for the nonlinear dynamics of rods, beams, plates, membranes, and other elastic structures are currently unavailable in the literature. The need for these reduced-order (1-D and 2-D) Eulerian structural models moti- vates the first part of this dissertation, where a comprehensive perturbation theory is used to develop a 1-D Eulerian model for nonlinear waves in elastic rods. The leading- order equations in the perturbation formalism are (i) verified using a control-volume analysis, (ii) linearized to recover a classical model for longitudinal waves in ultrasonic horns, and (iii) solved numerically using the novel space-time Conservation Element and Solution Element (CESE) method for first-order hyperbolic systems. Numeri- cal simulations of several benchmark problems demonstrate that the CESE method effectively captures shocks, rarefactions, and contact discontinuities. ii The second part of this dissertation focuses on another emerging area of finite- deformation mechanics: magnetoelectric polymer composites (MEPCs). A distin- guishing feature of MEPCs is the tantalizing ability to electrically control their mag- netization, or, conversely, magnetically control their polarization. Leveraging this magnetoelectric coupling could potentially impact numerous technologies, including information storage, spintronics, sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting. Most of the research on MEPCs to date, however, has focused on optimizing the magnitude of the magnetoelectric coupling through iterative design. Substantially less activity has occurred in the way of mathematical modeling and experimental characterization at finite strains, which are needed to advance fundamental understanding of MEPCs and encourage their technological implementation. The aforementioned need motivates the second part of this dissertation, where a finite-strain theoretical framework is developed for modeling soft magnetoelectric composites. Finite deformations, electro-magneto-elastic coupling, and material non- linearities are incorporated into the model. A particular emphasis is placed on the development of tractable constitutive equations to facilitate material characteriza- tion in the laboratory. Accordingly, a catalogue of free energies and constitutive equations is presented, each employing a different set of independent variables. The ramifications of invariance, angular momentum, incompressibility, and material sym- metry are explored, and a representative (neo-Hookean-type) free energy with full electro-magneto-elastic coupling is posed. iii Dedicatedinlovingmemoryofmyfather iv Acknowledgments This dissertation represents the culmination of a rich and rewarding journey. I have reached this point by standing on the shoulders of others. I will never be able to repay my debt of gratitude in kind, but I will do my best to pay it forward. I would like to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to my advisor, Pro- fessor Sheng-Tao John Yu, for his guidance, advice, support, and friendship through the years. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations – both technical and otherwise – and the wisdom and perspective I gained through our interactions. Prof. Yu’s words of encouragement always gave me hope and inspiration when times were challenging. I profited greatly from his expertise in numerical methods and programming. I would also like to thank my former advisor, Professor Stephen Bechtel, who was forced to retire far too young due to the devastating effects of Parkinson’s dis- ease. Prof. Bechtel taught me the importance of rigour, clarity, and perfectionism in scientific work as well as the art of technical writing. These lessons have had an indelible impression on me. I feel privileged to have been selected by him to convert his prized set of continuum mechanics course notes into a published textbook. Prof. Bechtel’s unique perspective on the topic and legacy as a continuum mechanician live on through our book. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Marcelo Dapino, Professor Dan Mendelsohn, Professor Amos Gilat, and Dr. Kelly Carney for serving on my v doctoral committee. Each of them has willingly offered support, guidance, and ad- vice when I needed it. Prof. Dapino’s input on the smart materials portion of this dissertation brought a much-needed shift toward developing theories that would be useful in practical applications. I am thankful for the opportunity to have taken Prof. Mendelsohn’s course in elastic wave propagation and Prof. Gilat’s course in plasticity, both of which were foundational in my research. Their help and friendship over the years are also acknowledged. Dr. Carney’s comments on the computational aspects of my work are also much appreciated; I look forward to working together more in the coming years. I would like to acknowledge several faculty members at OSU who have provided mentoring, guidance, support, and friendship, including Professors Carlos Castro, Brian Harper, Gary Kinzel, Cheena Srinivasan, and Denny Guenther. A hearty thank you is also due to Ms. Janeen Sands and Mr. Nick Breckenridge in the Graduate Advising Office. Briefly stated, both are tremendous assets to our Department. I am particularly thankful for Janeen’s compassion, willingness to listen, and helpful advice, which helped me weed my way though several challenging situations. I would like to express my gratitude to several friends with whom I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating: First, I’d like to thank Dr. Po-Hsien Lin for performing the numerical computations in Chapter 2. I’ve enjoyed and profited greatly from our conversations about hyperbolic systems and numerical methods. Secondly, I’d like to thank Professors Monon Mahboob and Md. Zahabul Islam for a fruitful inter- national collaboration that resulted in three journal publications on the mechanics of nanoscale structures. Thirdly, I’d like to thank Professor Sushma Santapuri for vi numerous discussions on the nuances of continuum electrodynamics and an enjoy- able collaboration in this field. I would also like to thank Dr. Lixiang Yang for a productive collaboration during his time at OSU and for many helpful conversations. Next, I would like to thank Professor Prasad Mokashi for his close friendship and support throughout the years. I would also like to thank Dr. Hafez Tari, who has become a dear friend to my wife and I in but a few short years in Columbus. I extend many thanks to my amigos Professor Chris Cooley, Mr. Tom Walters, Dr. Jeremy Seidt, Dr. David Bilyeu, and Dr. Krista Kecskemety for sharing the joys (mostly) and frustrations (some) of graduate life over hot and cold beverages alike. A special thanks as well to my friends outside of graduate school – Shawn, Kyle, Nate, Brad, and many others – for road trips, rounds of golf, and chatting about sports and other topics over the occasional frosty beverage. I acknowledge the generous financial support I received throughout my doctoral studies, most notably a Presidential Fellowship from the OSU Graduate School, a Graduate Teaching Fellowship from ASME, and a research assistantship from NSF. I am grateful to Department Chairman Ahmet Selamet and Associate Chairman Dan Mendelsohn for their financial support during several times of need. I would also like to thank former Department Chairman Cheena Srinivasan and former Associate Chairman Gary Kinzel for the opportunity to serve as an independent course in- structor. I also gratefully acknowledge travel support from The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi and the OSU Council of Graduate Students. I would like to extend a special thanks to my family, particularly my wife Karen and my mother Kristine. Karen – words cannot convey how grateful I am for your enduring love, support, patience, understanding, and encouragement during this long vii journey. We did it! Mom – I will never be able to repay you for your unwavering love, devotion, and selflessness, but know that it is felt and cherished. I truly hope I can be half the parent you are. A loving thank you is also due to my Aunt Doey, whose weekly phone calls always provided me with a few good laughs, some lively chat about sports, and all the latest news in Bryan, Ohio. A heartfelt thank you to my Uncle John & Aunt Diane and cousins Kirk & Amy, who lovingly looked out for me during my years in Columbus. And last, but certainly not least, much love and many thanks to my in-laws Ed, Barbara, Thomas, and Kim for their love, support, and unwavering belief in me. I am saddened that my father Bob,

While numeric approaches are successful, analytic tools and conceptual frameworks are largely lacking. Using an analogy with electrostatics, and building on recent developments in a nonlinear geometric formu- lation of elasticity, we develop a formalism that maps the elastic problem into that of nonlinear interaction of elastic charges. This approach offers an intuitive conceptual framework, qualitatively explaining the linear response, the onset of mechanical instability and aspects of the post-instability state. Apart from intuition, the formalism also quantitatively reproduces full numeric simulations of several prototypical structures. Possible applications of the tools developed in this work for the study of ordered and disordered porous mechanical metamaterials are discussed. I.

  • Crack Tip Elements and the J Integral
    EN234: Computational methods in Structural and Solid Mechanics Homework 3: Crack tip elements and the J-integral Due Wed Oct 7, 2015 School of Engineering Brown University The purpose of this homework is to help understand how to handle element interpolation functions and integration schemes in more detail, as well as to explore some applications of FEA to fracture mechanics. In this homework you will solve a simple linear elastic fracture mechanics problem. You might find it helpful to review some of the basic ideas and terminology associated with linear elastic fracture mechanics here (in particular, recall the definitions of stress intensity factor and the nature of crack-tip fields in elastic solids). Also check the relations between energy release rate and stress intensities, and the background on the J integral here. 1. One of the challenges in using finite elements to solve a problem with cracks is that the stress field at a crack tip is singular. Standard finite element interpolation functions are designed so that stresses remain finite a everywhere in the element. Various types of special b c ‘crack tip’ elements have been designed that 3L/4 incorporate the singularity. One way to produce a L/4 singularity (the method used in ABAQUS) is to mesh L the region just near the crack tip with 8 noded elements, with a special arrangement of nodal points: (i) Three of the nodes (nodes 1,4 and 8 in the figure) are connected together, and (ii) the mid-side nodes 2 and 7 are moved to the quarter-point location on the element side.

  • Linear Elasticity
    10 Linear elasticity When you bend a stick the reaction grows noticeably stronger the further you go — until it perhaps breaks with a snap. If you release the bending force before it breaks, the stick straightens out again and you can bend it again and again without it changing its reaction or its shape. That is elasticity. Robert Hooke (1635–1703). In elementary mechanics the elasticity of a spring is expressed by Hooke’s law English physicist. Worked on elasticity, built tele- which says that the force necessary to stretch or compress a spring is propor- scopes, and the discovered tional to how much it is stretched or compressed. In continuous elastic materials diffraction of light. The Hooke’s law implies that stress is proportional to strain. Some materials that we famous law which bears his name is from 1660. usually think of as highly elastic, for example rubber, do not obey Hooke’s law He stated already in 1678 except under very small deformation. When stresses grow large, most materials the inverse square law for gravity, over which he deform more than predicted by Hooke’s law. The proper treatment of non-linear got involved in a bitter elasticity goes far beyond the simple linear elasticity which we shall discuss in controversy with Newton. this book. The elastic properties of continuous materials are determined by the under- lying molecular structure, but the relation between material properties and the molecular structure and arrangement in solids is complicated, to say the least. Luckily, there are broad classes of materials that may be described by a few Thomas Young (1773–1829).

This rubber fails prematurely due to heat buildup caused by the hysteretic nature of elastomers. It is therefore desired to replace this elastomer by a meta-material that has equivalent nonlinear deformation characteristics without this primary failure mode. A meta-material is an artificial material in the form of a periodic structure that exhibits behavior that differs from its constitutive material. After a thorough literature review, topology optimization was found as the only method used to design meta-materials. Further investigation determined topology optimization as an infeasible method to design meta-materials with the targeted nonlinear deformation characteristics.
