摘要:

主动弹性不稳定性是自然界中常见的现象,具有突然的机械变形的方面。通常,不稳定性机制的驱动力具有化学机械性质,这使得这些不稳定性与标准弹性不稳定性非常不同。本文描述和研究了一个封闭的球形膨胀壳在脱水过程中的主动弹性失稳。描述是通过几个数值实验的结果的基础上的应力扩散模型,允许一瞥的现象。这项研究是从化学力学的角度进行的,通过一些简化的假设,允许推导出一个半分析模型,该模型考虑到了应力状态和水的浓度进入壁的壳在发病时的不稳定性。此外,也被认为是不稳定的发病时,这是由于不可能瞬间改变充满水的腔体体积的腔体体积的不变性。结果表明,半解析模型与数值试验结果吻合得很好。它也示出了作为一个更广泛的机械不稳定性时,可以被认为是不均匀的壳,即使当的不均匀性可以由少量的参数来描述。

英文摘要:

Active-elastic instabilities are common phenomena in the natural world which have the aspect of sudden mechanical morphings. Frequently, the driving force of the instability mechanisms has a chemo-mechanical nature which makes these kind of instabilities very different from standard elastic instabilities. In this paper, we describe and study the active-elastic instability occurring in a swollen spherical closed shell, bounding a water filled cavity, during a de-hydration process. The description is given through the outcomes of a few numerical experiments based on a stress-diffusion model which allows to glance at the phenomenon. The study is carried on from a chemo-mechanical perspective through a few simplifying assumptions which allow to derive a semi-analytical model which takes into account both the stress state and the water concentration into the walls of the shell at the onset of the instability. Moreover, also the invariance of the cavity volume at the onset of instability, which is due to the impossibility to instantaneously change the cavity volume filled with water, is considered. It is shown as the semi-analytic model matches very well the outcome of the numerical experiments. It is also shown as a wider range of mechanical instabilities can be produced when inhomogeneous shells are considered, even when the inhomogeneities can be described by a small number of parameters.
