In this thesis we will discuss the well-posedness and long-time dynamics of curved beam and thermoelastic plates. First, we considered the Bresse system with nonlinear damping and forcing terms. For this model we show the Timoshenko system as a singular limit of the Bresse system as the arch curvature l goes to 0 and under suitable assumptions on the nonlinearity we prove the existence of a smooth global attractor with finite fractal dimension and exponential attractors as well. We also compare the Bresse system with the Timoshenko system, in the sense of upper-semicontinuity of their attractors as l → 0. Second, we study a full von Karman system, this model accounts for vertical and in plane displacements. For this system we add a nonlinear thermal coupling and free boundary conditions. It is shown that the system, without any mechanical dissipation imposed on vertical displacements, admits a global attractor which is also smooth and of finite fractal dimension. / Neste trabalho iremos discutir a existência, unicidade, dependência contínua e a dinâmica a longo prazo das soluções de um sistema de equações que modela a vibração de vigas curvas e um modelo de placas termoelásticas. Primeiro consideramos o modelo de Bresse com dissipação não linear e forças externas. Provamos que o sistema de Timoshenko pode ser obtido como limite do sistema de Bresse quando o arco de curvatura l tende para zero e sob algumas hipóteses, mostramos a existência de um atrator global com dimensão fractal finita. Também comparamos o sistema de Bresse com o sistema de Timoshenko no sentido da semicontinuidade de seus atratores quando o parâmetro l → 0. Na segunda parte estudamos o sistema de full Von Karmam. Neste modelo adicionamos efeitos térmicos e condições de fronteira do tipo livre. Mostramos que esse problema, sem dissipação mecânica no deslocamento vertical, também possui um atrator global regular com dimensão infinita.

This thesis proposes alternative models to avoid this problem. To achieve this, developing physical criteria about modeling of elastic systems is necessary, so that the paradox of infinite propagation velocity does not occur. We discussed various theories of heat propagation, such as the Maxwell-Cattaneo law. The thermodynamic theory, called thermoelasticity III, was adapted for modeling curved beams. Once the usage of the studied thermoelastic models is justified, the method used to validate such models is the semigroup theory. We will study the qualitative properties of the corresponding thermoelastic models, in particular the uniform stability of the solution. Finally, we prove results for exponential and polynomial stability of solutions for the Bresse beam models. / Neste trabalho estudamos a equação do calor com a lei de Fourier, resultando em uma equação de evolução do tipo parabólica, e isso nos leva ao chamado paradoxo da velocidade de propagação infinita. A tese propõe modelos alternativos para evitar este problema. Para isto é necessário desenvolver critérios físicos, sobre a modelagem de sistemas elásticos, de tal forma que o paradoxo da velocidade infinita de propagação não aconteça. Discutimos diversas teorias da propagação do calor, como a lei de Maxwell-Cattaneo. A teoria termodinâmica, denominada termoelasticidade III, foi adaptada para a modelagem de vigas curvas. Uma vez justificados os modelos termoelásticos estudados, o método usado para validar tais modelos é a teoria de semigrupos. Estudaremos as propriedades qualitativas dos correspondentes modelos termoelásticos, como a estabilidade uniforme das soluções. Finalmente, provamos resultados de estabilidade exponencial e polinomial de soluções para os modelos de viga de Bresse.

In this study, transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites is investigated. Thermal effects, in addition to mechanical effects, are taken into consideration. A generalized thermoelasticity theory which incorporates the temperature rate among the constitutive variables and is referred to as temperature-rate dependent thermoelasticity theory is employed. This theory predicts finite heat propagation speeds. The body considered in this thesis consists of n+1-layers, the inner layer being viscoelastic, while the outer fiber reinforced composite medium consist of n-different generally orthotropic, homogeneous and elastic layers. In each ply, the fiber orientation angle may be different. The body is a hollow circular cylinder with a finite thickness in the radial direction, whereas it extends to infinity in the axial direction. The multilayered medium is subjected to uniform time-dependent dynamic inputs at the inner and/or outer surfaces. The body is assumed to be initially at rest. The layers are assumed to be perfectly bonded to each other. The case in which the inner surface of the viscoelastic cylinder is a moving boundary is further investigated in this study. This is similar to the solid propellant rocket motor cases. The solid propellant is modelled as a viscoelastic material which in turn is modelled as standard linear solid / whereas, the rocket motor case is a fiber-reinforced filament wound cylindrical composite. Method of characteristics is employed to obtain the solutions. Method of characteristics is suitable because the governing equations are hyperbolic. The method is amenable to numerical integration and different boundary, interface and initial conditions can be handled easily.

Three-dimensional basic problems of statics, pseudo-oscillations, general dynamics and steady state oscillations of the thermoelasticity of isotropic bodies have been completely investigated by many authors. In particular, exterior steady state oscillation problems have been studied on the basis of Sommerfeld-Kupradze radiation conditions in the thermoelasticity, and the uniqueness theorems were proved with the help of the well-known Rellich's lemma, since the components of the displacement vector and the temperature in the isotropic case can be represented as a sum of metaharmonic functions . Unfortunately, the methods of investigation of thermoelastic steady state oscillation problems developed for the isotropic case are not applicable in the case of general anisotropy. This is stipulated by a very complicated form of the corresponding characteristic equation which plays a significant role in the study of far field behaviour of solutions to the oscillation equa- tions. We note that the basic and crack type boundary value problems (BVPs) for the pseudo-oscillation equations of the thermoelasticity theory in the anisotropic case are considered in [3,14]. To the best of the authors' knowledge the problems of thermoelastic steady oscillations for anisotropic bodies have not been treated in the scientific literature. In the present paper we will consider a wide class of basic and mixed type BVPs for the equations of thermoelastic steady state oscillations. We will formulate thermoelastic radiation conditions for an anisotropic medium (the generalized Sommerfeld-Kupradze type radiation conditions) and prove the uniqueness theorems in corresponding spaces. To derive these conditions we have essentially applied results of Vainberg. Further, using the potential method and the theory of pseudodifferential equations on manifolds we will prove existence theorems in various functional spaces and establish the smoothness properties of solutions.

Les éléments de construction en béton renforcé par plaque constituent une technologie de construction émergente dont l’utilisation commence à se développer. Ces éléments sont constitués de deux plaques en acier en parement d’un béton de remplissage. Les plaques, connectées entre elles par des tiges métalliques, travaillent de façon composite pour octroyer à la structure ses propriétés de résistance mécanique. En cas de voilement local, les transferts d’action acier-béton ne sont plus développés entraînant une perte de résistance globale de la structure. Le présent document est consacré au risque voilement local induit par une élévation de la température. Deux aspects seront particulier étudiés : définir un domaine de flambement tenant compte de la plasticité local et obtenir une estimation de la déformée à une température donnée. Les résultats seront confrontés aux solutions issues de la simulation numérique et de l'expérimentation. / Steel concrete structures are a new building technology and its use starts to spread in civil engineering. these structures are made of two steel plates connected by tiebars and a concrete core. In order to provide resistance, steel and concrete must develop composite actions. In case of buckling of the steel plate, the transfer of the actions between steel and concrete is lost. This paper focus on preventing buckling failure’s mode of the structure in case of thermal loading. Two main issues are studied : defining an analytic operating for steel concrete structures regarding thermal buckling aspect including yielding coupling and getting an analytic estimation of the deflection. The results are finally confronted with numerical simulation and experimentation.

In this preprint, we look onto the theory of linear thermoelasticity. At the beginning, this theory is shortly repeated and afterwards applied to transversely isotropic materials. Then, the corresponding weak formulation is derived, which is the starting point for a FE-discretisation. In the last part, we explain how we added this material behaviour to an adaptive Finite-Element-code and show some numerical results.:1 Introduction 2 Theoretical Background 3 Special Cases of Linear Thermoelasticity 4 Weak Formulation 5 Implementation 6 Numerical Examples A.

This study examines the use of embedded shape memory alloy (SMA)actuators for adaptive control of the themomechanical response of composite structures. Control of static and dynamic responses are demonstrated including thermal buckling, thermal post-buckling, vibration, sonic fatigue, and acoustic transmission. A thermomechanical model is presented for analyzing such shape memory alloy hybrid composite (SMAHC) structures exposed to thermal and mechanical loads. Also presented are (1) fabrication procedures for SMAHC specimens, (2) characterization of the constituent materials for model quantification, (3) development of the test apparatus for conducting static and dynamic experiments on specimens with and without SMA, (4) discussion of the experimental results, and (5) validation of the analytical and numerical tools developed in the study. The constitutive model developed to describe the mechanics of a SMAHC lamina captures the material nonlinearity with temperature of the SMA and matrix material if necessary. It is in a form that is amenable to commercial finite element (FE) code implementation. The model is valid for constrained, restrained, or free recovery configurations with appropriate measurements of fundamental engineering properties. This constitutive model is used along with classical lamination theory and the FE method to formulate the equations of motion for panel-type structures subjected to steady-state thermal and dynamic mechanical loads. Mechanical loads that are considered include acoustic pressure, inertial (base acceleration), and concentrated forces. Four solution types are developed from the governing equations including thermal buckling, thermal post-buckling, dynamic response, and acoustic transmission/radiation. These solution procedures are compared with closed-form and/or other known solutions to benchmark the numerical tools developed in this study. Practical solutions for overcoming fabrication issues and obtaining repeatable specimens are demonstrated. Results from characterization of the SMA constituent are highlighted with regard to their impact on thermomechanical modeling. Results from static and dynamic tests on a SMAHC beam specimen are presented, which demonstrate the enormous control authority of the SMA actuators. Excellent agreement is achieved between the predicted and measured responses including thermal buckling, thermal post-buckling, and dynamic response due to inertial loading. The validated model and thermomechanical analysis tools are used to demonstrate a variety of static and dynamic response behaviors associated with SMAHC structures. Topics of discussion include the fundamental mechanics of SMAHC structures, control of static (thermal buckling and post-buckling) and dynamic responses (vibration, sonic fatigue, and acoustic transmission), and SMAHC design considerations for these applications. The dynamic response performance of a SMAHC panel specimen is compared to conventional response abatement approaches. SMAHCs are shown to have significant advantages for vibration, sonic fatigue, and noise control. / Ph. D.
