Elasticity governing equations

Considering an example of isothermal, incompressible body in elastic contact with the presumption that there are adequate molecular layers on the minimum film thickness spot, we will get the governing equations as follows... 

This chapter describes the fundamental principles of heat and mass transfer in gas-solid flows. For most gas-solid flow situations, the temperature inside the solid particle can be approximated to be uniform. The theoretical basis and relevant restrictions of this approximation are briefly presented. The conductive heat transfer due to an elastic collision is introduced. A simple convective heat transfer model, based on the pseudocontinuum assumption for the gas-solid mixture, as well as the limitations of the model applications are discussed. The chapter also describes heat transfer due to radiation of the particulate phase. Specifically, thermal radiation from a single particle, radiation from a particle cloud with multiple scattering effects, and the basic governing equation for general multiparticle radiations are discussed. The discussion of gas phase radiation is, however, excluded because of its complexity, as it is affected by the type of gas components, concentrations, and gas temperatures. Interested readers may refer to Ozisik (1973) for the absorption (or emission) of radiation by gases. The last part of this chapter presents the fundamental principles of mass transfer in gas-solid flows. 

An analytical elastic membrane model was developed by Feng and Yang (1973) to model the compression of an inflated, non-linear elastic, spherical membrane between two parallel surfaces where the internal contents of the cell were taken to be a gas. This model was extended by Lardner and Pujara (1980) to represent the interior of the cell as an incompressible liquid. This latter assumption obviously makes the model more representative of biological cells. Importantly, this model also does not assume that the cell wall tensions are isotropic. The model is based on a choice of cell wall material constitutive relationships (e.g., linear-elastic, Mooney-Rivlin) and governing equations, which link the constitutive equations to the geometry of the cell during compression. 

Features of the two-layer subpad response can be captured by considering the subpad as a plate on an elastic foundation. The governing equation for the deflection of a plate of bending stiffness D on a foundation of compression stiffness k is [S]... 

Governing equations are the continuity equation, the chemical reactions and their thermodynamic relationships, and the heat, mass, and momentum equations. Elastic behavior of an expanding bed of particles sometimes must be included. These equations can be many and complex because we are dealing with both multiphase and multicomponent systems. Correlations are often in terms of phase-based dimensionless groups such as Reynolds numbers, Froude numbers, and Weber numbers. 

The role of constitutive equations is to instruct us in the relation between the forces within our continuum and the deformations that attend them. More prosaically, if we examine the governing equations derived from the balance of linear momentum, it is found that we have more unknowns than we do equations to determine them. Spanning this information gap is the role played by constitutive models. From the standpoint of building effective theories of material behavior, the construction of realistic and tractable constitutive models is one of our greatest challenges. In the sections that follow we will use the example of linear elasticity as a paradigm for the description of constitutive response. Having made our initial foray into this theory, we will examine in turn some of the ideas that attend the treatment of permanent deformation where the development of microscopically motivated constitutive models is much less mature. 

Recall from chap. 2 that often in the solution of differential equations, useful strategies are constructed on the basis of the weak form of the governing equation of interest in which a differential equation is replaced by an integral statement of the same governing principle. In the previous chapter, we described the finite element method, with special reference to the theory of linear elasticity, and we showed how a weak statement of the equilibrium equations could be constructed. In the present section, we wish to exploit such thinking within the context of the Schrodinger equation, with special reference to the problem of the particle in a box considered above and its two-dimensional generalization to the problem of a quantum corral. 

A comparison with die numerical results by the Karman -type non-linear governing equations showed sufficient agreement to verify the much simpler Berger approach. The graded elastic modulus can control the deformation of the plate. 

In order to predict the T-H-M response of the bentonite, a coupled T-H-M transient analysis was performed with the Finite Element Code FRACON. The governing equations incorporated in the FRACON code were derived from an extension of Biot s (1941) theory of poro-elasticity to include the T-H-M behaviour of the unsaturated FEBEX bentonite. The model formulation(Nguyen, Selvadurai and Armand, 2003) resulted in three governing equations where the primary unknowns are temperature, the displacement vector and the pore fluid pressure, as follows ... 

In this paper, the governing equations for THM processes in an elastic medium with double porosity are derived using a systematic... 

It is shown that the development of the equations governing THM processes in elastic media with double porosity can be approached in a systematic manner where all the constitutive equations governing deformability, fluid flow and heat transfer are combined with the relevant conservation laws. The double porosity nature of the medium requires the introduction of dependent variables applicable to the deformable solid, and the fluid phases in the two void spaces. The governing partial differential equations are linear in view of the linearized forms of the constitutive assumptions invoked in the formulations. The linearity of these governing equations makes them amenable to solution through conventional mathematical techniques applicable to the study of initial boundary value problems in mathematical physics (Selvadurai, 2000). Such solutions should serve as benchmarks for appropriate computational developments. 

A majority of work has been based on the assumption that the fluid motion is one-dimensional. With this simplification the governing equations are similar to those for an electrical transmission fine and for the long wavelength response of an elastic tube containing fluid. The equation for the pressure p in a tube with constant cross-sectional area A and with constant frequency of excitation is ... 

FIGURE 64.3 Solution of the otolith governing equations for the stimulus cases of a step change in acceleration and a step change in the velocity (impulse in acceleration). Scale label abbreviations used ND = nondimensional, OL = otoconial layer. These solutions are shown for various values of the nondimensional elastic parameters s, M, and R. In each case two of the nondimensional parameters were held constant and the remainingone was varied. These solutions reflect the general system behavior. The nondimensional time and displacement scales can be converted to real time and displacement for human physical variables as follows nondimensional time of 1 = 0.36 msec, and nondimensional displacement of 1 = 36 /itm (human physical variables used i> = 15 fim, /ttf = 0.85 mPa/sec, Pf = 1000 kg/m Po = 1350 kg/m G = 10 Pa, V = 0.1 m/sec). 

The examples of non-Newtonian microchannel flows cited in the present article so far inherently assume that the continuum hypothesis is not disobeyed, so far as the description of the basic governing equations is concerned. This, however, ceases to be a valid consideration in certain fluidic devices, in which the characteristic system length scales are of the same order as that of the size of the macromolecules being transported. Fan et al. [10], in a related study, used the concept of finitely extended nonlinear elastic (FENE) chains to model the DNA molecules and employed the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) approach to simulate the underlying flow behavior in some such representative cases. From their results, it was revealed that simple DPD fluids essentially behave as Newtonian fluids in Poiseuille flows. However, the velocity profiles of FENE... 

The analysis of a beam on an elastic foundation is governed by exactly the same equation as the pile under lateral loading. The analysis of this problem requires the beam equation for the link between lateral loading and lateral deflection of an elastic beam - this is another topic for reinforcement through duplication. The beam equation is a fourth order ordinary differential equation so that a certain amount of mathematical confidence is required for its solution. These are again problems which lend themselves to dimensionless analysis - and, indeed, it is through reduction of the governing equations to their dimensionless form that the appreciation of the importance of relative stiffnesses of soil and structure can be obtained. 

The prepreg fibre bed is typically assumed to be an elastic porous medium with incompressible and inextensible fibres and fully saturated with the resin. The resin is assumed to flow in the pores between the fibres, and the fibre mass in the laminate remains constant during cure. The governing equations of the system must describe the behaviour of the composite constituents the fibre bed and the resin. Firstly, the equilibrium of forces on the representative element is considered. Secondly, the mass conservation for the representative element must be satisfied. For a porous medium saturated with a single phase fluid, the total stress tensor a,) is separated into two parts as (tensile stresses are considered positive) ... 

The system for the one-dimensional elastic problem can be given by a governing equation (4.1a), the Dirichlet (i.e., displacement) boundary condition (4.1b) and the Neumann (i.e., traction) boundary condition (4.1c). This system is referred to as the strong form [SF]. 

The strong form of a hyperbolic PDE, that is, the governing equation, the boundary conditions (BC), the displacement-strain relation (DS) and the initial conditions (IC) are given as follows (for example, the equation of classical elasto-dynamics for a Hookean solid with mass density p and elasticity constant tensor D see, e.g., Gurtin 1972 Selvadurai 2000b) ... 

The elastic deformation equations are governed by the Navler linear elasticity field equations. This conservation equation Is expressed In the limit as Poisson s ratio approaches one-half. This asymptotic form for Che field equations Is written In terms of material displacement and pressure. This resulting field equation for displacement Is analogous to the Stokes flow field equations. The elasticity constitutive relationship between the stress and the deformation Is given below ...
