Solid bodies

Except in rare cases, surfaces are neither smooth nor clean. Thus, the contact of surfaces is a complex phenomenon, and even the most sophisticated models are idealized to some extent. 

Real materials deform under load, and hence the simple geometric cases described above bring no meaning to a discussion of the fine-scale aspects of the mechanics of contact. For instance, in the case of three-point contact against a plane, on further application of load the topmost asperities will yield, first elastically and then plastically, thus bringing the lower-lying asperities into contact. The number of asperities which come into contact and the manner in which they do so will depend on the applied load, the properties of the material and the small-scale topography of the surfaces.

Submitting the main topic, we deal with models of solids with cracks. These models of mechanics and geophysics describe the stationary and quasi-stationary deformation of elastic and inelastic solid bodies having cracks and cuts. The corresponding mathematical models are reduced to boundary value problems for domains with singular boundaries. We shall use, if it is possible, a variational formulation of the problems to apply methods of convex analysis. It is of importance to note the significance of restrictions stated a priori at the crack surfaces. We assume that nonpenetration conditions of inequality type at the crack surfaces are fulfilled, which improves the accuracy of these models for contact problems. We also include the modelling of problems with friction between the crack surfaces.

Let a solid body occupy a domain fl c with the smooth boundary L. The deformation of the solid inside fl is described by equilibrium, constitutive and geometrical equations discussed in Sections 1.1.1-1.1.5. To formulate the boundary value problem we need boundary conditions at T. The principal types of boundary conditions are considered in this subsection.

The surfaces of all materials interact through van der Waals interactions and other interactions. These interfacial forces, which are attractive in most cases, result in the deformation of the solid bodies in contact. In practice, the radius of the contact zone is higher than the radius predicted by the Hertzian theory (Eq. 7). Johnson et al. [6] modified the Hertzian theory to account for the interfacial interactions, and developed a new theory of contact mechanics, widely known as the JKR theory. In the following section, we discuss the details of the JKR theory. The details of the derivation may be obtained elsewhere [6,20,21]. 

For any method of heat transfer to take place, a temperature difference is necessary between two faces of a solid body, or at the boundaries of a gas or vapor. Flear transfer will take place only from a high-temperature source to a lower-temperature sink and is an irreversible process unless acted upon by another agency, as is the case with the refrigeration process.

Vibration The rapid oscillating movement of a solid body due to an alternating force, for example, a rotating piece of machinery that is out of balance. 

Solid substances are forced into unusual and distinctive conditions when subjected to powerful releases of energy such that their inertial properties result in the propagation of high pressure mechanical waves within the solid body. The very high stress, microsecond-duration, conditions irreversibly force materials into states not fully encountered in any other excitation. It is the study of solids under this unique compression-and-release process that provides the scientific and technological interest in shock-compression science.

The regularity of the internal strueture of this solid body results in the erystal having a eharaeteristie shape smooth surfaees or faees develop as a erystal grows, and the planes of these faees are parallel to atomie planes in the lattiee. 

In plate theory, the problem is reduced from the deformation of a solid body to the deformation of a surface by use of the Kirchhoff hypothesis (normals to the undeformed middle surface remain straight and normal after deformation, etc., as discussed in Chapter 4). Then, we attempt to apply boundary conditions to that surface which is usually the middle surface of the plate. There should be no surprise that the boundary conditions for the unapproximated solid body are not the same as those for the solid approximated with a surface. The problem arises when these boundary conditions are applied to an approximate set of equilibrium equations that result when force-strain and moment-curvature... 

The solid-flame model can be used to overcome the inaccuracy of the point-source model. This model assumes that the fire can be represented by a solid body of a simple geometrical shape, and that all thermal radiation is emitted from its surface. To ensure that fire volume is not neglected, the geometries of the fire and target, as well as their relative positions, must be taken into account because a portion of the fire may be obscured as seen from the target.
