A two-dimensional (2D) elastic analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is conducted using the proposed boundary integral based graded element formulation. The graded element model is based on independent internal and frame field approximations. The elemental stiffness contains element boundary integrals only and is calculated using the exact expression of the graded material property. In the construction of the element model, the fundamental solutions of functionally graded plate with quadratic variation of elastic properties are employed to construct the internal approximation and then the graded element is constructed, in which the material definition entails naturally graded variation. Three numerical examples are considered: verification of fundamental solutions, a functionally graded cantilever beam, and a functionally graded link bar, to assess the performance of the hybrid graded model and to show the advantages of FGMs over homogeneous materials.

Summary: This paper investigates the mechanical properties of nanotwined copper at micro/nanoscales. The influence of vertical twin-boundary spacing and orientation on the deformation behavior of micropillars is explored through experiments, simulations, and theoretical analysis. The results show that decreasing twin-boundary spacing leads to increased yield stress, and micropillars with slanted twin boundaries at a spacing of 15.5 nm exhibit the highest strength.

Modal-Based Analysis for Aiding 3D Elastic Metastructure Design

Minghui Zhang, Yi Xiao, Qing-Hua Qin

Summary: Engineering topological structures in unit cells provides elastic metamaterials (EMMs) with exceptional wave attenuation capabilities. However, practical metastructures, which are truncated versions of infinite EMMs, may significantly reduce wave attenuation capabilities. To address this, a novel modal-based method (MM) is proposed for evaluating the wave attenuation of 3D metastructures. By characterizing dominant eigenmodes developed in metastructures, the opening and closing of stopbands are evaluated, and the influence of different mechanisms on wave attenuation performance is investigated. Additionally, a modal-based design framework is introduced to modify metastructures for improved applicability in various engineering disciplines.

Prediction of nonlocal elasticity parameters using high-throughput molecular dynamics simulations and machine learning

Hridya P. Lal, B. R. Abhiram, Debraj Ghosh

Summary: Higher-order elasticity theories are used to model mechanics at the nanoscale, but the length-scale parameters in these theories need to be evaluated through experiments or MD simulations. This study shows that the length-scale parameter in the modified strain gradient theory varies with dimensions, boundary conditions, and deformation level for carbon and boron nitride nanotubes. To address this issue, a supervised ML-based framework is developed, combining MD simulations, continuum formulation, and ML to predict the length-scale parameter for a given material, dimension, and boundary condition. This predictive tool reduces the need for expensive MD simulations and opens up possibilities for applying non-classical continuum theories to nanoscale mechanics problems.

The role of thermal fluctuations in the motion of a free body

Pep Espanol, Mark Thachuk, J. A. de la Torre

Summary: The motion of a rigid body, described by Euler's equations in Classical Mechanics, assumes that the distances between constituent particles are fixed. However, real bodies cannot meet this assumption due to thermal fluctuations. In order to incorporate dissipative and thermal fluctuation effects into the description, a generalization of Euler's equations is proposed. This theory explains the origin of these effects as internal, rather than caused by an external thermal bath, and derives the stochastic differential equations governing the body's orientation and central moments.
