Deformation induced loss of ellipticity in an anisotropic circular cylindrical tube
When a transversely isotropic circular cylindrical tube is subject to axial extension and inflation, the governing equations of equilibrium can lose ellipticity under certain combinations of deformation and direction of transverse isotropy. In this paper, it is shown how the inclusion of an axial shear deformation moderates the loss of ellipticity condition. In particular, this condition is analysed for a material model consisting of an isotropic neo-Hookean matrix within which are embedded fibres whose properties are characterized by the addition to the strain-energy function of a reinforcing model depending on the local fibre direction
Discontinuous solutions and boundary value problems for non-linearly elastic fibre-reinforced materials
En este trabajo se han analizado varios problemas en el contexto de la
elasticidad no lineal basándose en modelos constitutivos representativos.
En particular, se han analizado problemas relacionados con el fenómeno
de perdida de estabilidad asociada con condiciones de contorno en el
caso de material reforzados con fibras. Cada problema se ha formulado
y se ha analizado por separado en diferentes capítulos.
En primer lugar se ha mostrado el análisis del gradiente de deformación
discontinuo para un material transversalmente isótropo, en particular,
el modelo del material considerado consiste de una base neo-Hookeana
isótropa incrustada con fibras de refuerzo direccional caracterizadas con
un solo parámetro. La solución de este problema se vincula con instabilidades
que dan lugar al mecanismo de fallo conocido como banda
de cortante. La perdida de elipticidad de las ecuaciones diferenciales
de equilibrio es una condición necesaria para que aparezca este tipo de
soluciones y por tanto las inestabilidades asociadas. En segundo lugar
se ha analizado una deformación combinada de extensión, inación
y torsión de un tubo cilíndrico grueso donde se ha encontrado que la
deformación citada anteriormente puede ser controlada solo para determinadas
direcciones de las fibras refuerzo. Para entender el comportamiento
elástico del tubo considerado se ha ilustrado numéricamente
los resultados obtenidos para las direcciones admisibles de las fibras de
refuerzo bajo la deformación considerada. En tercer lugar se ha estudiado
el caso de un tubo cilíndrico grueso reforzado con dos familias de fibras sometido a cortante en la dirección azimutal para un modelo de
refuerzo especial. En este problema se ha encontrado que las inestabilidades
que aparecen en el material considerado están asociadas con
lo que se llama soluciones múltiples de la ecuación diferencial de equilibrio.
Se ha encontrado que el fenómeno de instabilidad ocurre en un
estado de deformación previo al estado de deformación donde se pierde
la elipticidad de la ecuación diferencial de equilibrio. También se ha
demostrado que la condición de perdida de elipticidad y ^W=2 = 0
(la segunda derivada de la función de energía con respecto a la deformación) son dos condiciones necesarias para la existencia de soluciones
múltiples. Finalmente, se ha analizado detalladamente en el contexto
de elipticidad un problema de un tubo cilíndrico grueso sometido a una
deformación combinada en las direcciones helicoidal, axial y radial para
distintas geotermias de las fibras de refuerzo .
In the present work four main problems have been addressed within the
framework of non-linear elasticity based on representative constitutive
models. Namely, problems related to the loss of stability phenomena
associated with boundary value problems for fibre-reinforced materials.
Each of the considered problems is formulated and analysed separately
in different chapters.
We first start with the analysis of discontinuous deformation gradients
for a transversely isotropic material under plane deformation. In particular,
the material model is an augmented neo-Hookean base with a
simple unidirectional reinforcement characterised by a single parameter.
The solution of this problem is related to material instabilities and
it is associated with a shear band-type failure mode. The loss of ellipticity
of the governing differential equations is a necessary condition
for the existence of these material instabilities. The second problem involves
a detailed analysis of the combined non-linear extension, inflation
and torsion of a thick-walled circular cylindrical tube where it has been
found that the aforementioned deformation is controllable only for certain
preferred directions of transverse isotropy. Numerical results have
been illustrated to understand the elastic behaviour of the tube for the
admissible preferred directions under the considered deformation. The
third problem deals with the analysis of a doubly fibre-reinforced thickwalled
circular cylindrical tube undergoing pure azimuthal shear for a
special class of the reinforcing model where multiple non-smooth solutions emerge. The associated instability phenomena are found to occur
prior to the point where the nominal stress tensor changes monotonicity
in a particular direction. It has been also shown that the loss of ellipticity
condition that arises from the equilibrium equation and ^W=2 = 0
(the second derivative of the strain-energy function with respect to the
deformation) are equivalent necessary conditions for the emergence of
multiple solutions for the considered material. Finally, a detailed analysis
in the basis of the loss of ellipticity of the governing differential
equations for a combined helical, axial and radial elastic deformations
of a fibre-reinforced circular cylindrical tube is carried out
Soluciones discontinuas en materiales reforzados con fibra en grandes deformaciones
Este trabajo analiza la posible existencia de soluciones discontinuas en materiales reforzados unidireccionalmente con fibra larga en el regimen de grandes deformaciones. Dichos materiales se puede caracterizar como materiales transversalmente isotropicos. En el contexto de las grandes deformaciones elasticas la expresión constitutiva mas general viene dada por una función de energía que depende de 5 invariantes. Dichos invariantes varían con la deformación. En el rango de las pequeñas deformaciones la ecuación constitutiva de materiales transversalmente isotrópicos depende de 5 constantes que relacionan la tension y la deformacion. Las soluciones discontinuas que se analizan aquí se caracterizan por un campo de desplazamiento continuo y una derivada del mismo discontinuo. Dichas soluciones tienen interpretation física para los materiales que se estudian. En particular, los materiales reforzados con fibra sufren diversos mecanismos de deformación que se pueden asociar con las soluciones discontinuas anteriormente descritas. En materiales reforzados con fibra son bien conocidos los fenomenos de fiber Kinking, fiber Splitting, fiber debonding y matrix failure. En este trabajo se intento capturar algunos de estos mecanismos para un tipo de material reforzado unidireccionalmente: el material Neo — Hookean reforzado unidirec cionalmente. El estudio de dichas soluciones discontinuas esta relacionado con la perdida de elipticidad de las ecuaciones diferenciales que gobiernan el problema. Dicha perdida de elipticidad es una condición necesaria ( pero no suficiente ) para la obtención de dichas soluciones discontinuas
Finite elastic deformations of transversely isotropic circular cylindrical tubes
We consider the finite radially symmetric deformation of a circular cylindrical tube of a homogeneous transversely isotropic elastic material subject to axial stretch, radial deformation and torsion, supported by axial load, internal pressure and end moment. Two different directions of transverse isotropy are considered: the radial direction and an arbitrary direction in planes normal locally to the radial direction, the only directions for which the considered deformation is admissible in general. In the absence of body forces, formulas are obtained for the internal pressure, and the resultant axial load and torsional moment on the ends of the tube in respect of a general strain-energy function. For a specific material model of transversely isotropic elasticity, and material and geometrical parameters, numerical results are used to illustrate the dependence of the pressure, (reduced) axial load and moment on the radial stretch and a measure of the torsional deformation for a fixed value of the axial stretch
Anémie de fanconi au CHU Hassan II Fès: à propos de 6 observations
L'anémie de Fanconi est une maladie récessive associée à une instabilité chromosomique, elle est marquée par une hétérogénéité phénotypique qui inclut une insuffisance médullaire, un syndrome malformatif variable, une prédisposition à développer des leucémies aiguës myéloïdes (LAM) et une hypersensibilité cellulaire aux agents pontant l'ADN. Le diagnostic est basé sur l'augmentation anormale du taux de cassures chromosomiques spontanées mais surtout, et de manière spécifique, sur une augmentation nette de ces cassures chromosomiques en présence d'agents alkylants bifonctionnels, ce qui est le cas pour nos six patients. Le conseil génétique rejoint celui des maladies autosomiques récessives. Nous rapportons nos premières observations au CHU Hassan II Fès, confirmées par la mise en évidence d'une grande instabilité chromosomique après culture sous Mitomycine C en comparaison avec un témoin normal. Le but de cet article est la mise à jour de nos connaissances sur la génétique de l'Anémie de Fanconi et à travers ces six observations nous illustrons le rôle de la cytogénétique dans le diagnostic et le conseil génétique pour une meilleure prise en charge aussi bien des enfants atteints que de leurs familles
Loss of ellipticity in the combined helical, axial and radial elastic deformations of a fibre-reinforced circular cylindrical tube
In this paper we consider theoretically the finite deformation of a circular cylindrical tube of a transversely isotropic elastic material, specifically the combined axial stretch, inflation and helical shear deformation, with particular reference to the failure of ellipticity. For a simple form of strain-energy function specific examples involving axial and radial directions of transverse isotropy are then considered, leading to different predictions of the onset of ellipticity failure
Improving Heart Disease Prediction Using Random Forest and AdaBoost Algorithms
heart disease is a major cause of death worldwide. Thus, diagnosis and prediction of heart disease remain mandatory. Clinical decision support systems based on machine learning techniques have become the primary tool to assist clinicians and contribute to automated diagnosis. This paper aims to predict heart disease using Random Forest algorithm enhanced with the boosting algorithm Adaboost. The model is trained and tested on University of California Irvine (UCI) Cleveland and Statlog heart disease datasets using the most relevant features 14 attributes. The result shows that Random Forest algorithm combined with AdaBoost algorithm achieved higher accuracy than applying only Radom Forest algorithm, 96.16%, 95.98%, respectively. We compare our suggested model to report machine learning classifiers. Indeed, the obtained result is supporting the efficiency and validity of our model. Besides, the proposed model achieved high accuracy compared to existing studies in the literature that confirmed that a clinical decision support system could be used to predict heart disease based on machine learning algorithms
First Principle Study on the Effect of Strain on the Electronic Structure and Carrier Mobility of the Janus MoSTe and WSTe Monolayers
Using first-principle calculations, we investigate the impact of strain on the electronic structures and effective masses of Janus WSTe and MoSTe monolayers. The calculations were performed using the QUANTUM-ESPRESSO package, employing the PBE and HSE06 functionals. Our results demonstrate that strain fundamentally changes the electronic structures of the Janus WSTe and MoSTe monolayers. We observe that deformation causes a shift in the maxima and minima of the valence and conduction bands, respectively. We find that the effective electrons and hole masses of MoSTe and WSTe can be changed by deformation. In addition, the strain’s effect on carrier mobility is also investigated in this work via the deformation potential theory
Optoelectronic Properties of a Cylindrical Core/Shell Nanowire: Effect of Quantum Confinement and Magnetic Field
This study investigates the effect of quantum size and an external magnetic field on the optoelectronic properties of a cylindrical AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs-based core/shell nanowire. We used the one-band effective mass model to describe the Hamiltonian of an interacting electron-donor impurity system and employed two numerical methods to calculate the ground state energies: the variational and finite element methods. With the finite confinement barrier at the interface between the core and the shell, the cylindrical symmetry of the system revealed proper transcendental equations, leading to the concept of the threshold core radius. Our results show that the optoelectronic properties of the structure strongly depend on core/shell sizes and the strength of the external magnetic field. We found that the maximum probability of finding the electron occurs in either the core or the shell region, depending on the value of the threshold core radius. This threshold radius separates two regions where physical behaviors undergo changes and the applied magnetic field acts as an additional confinement
