  Mechanics & Industry, EDP Sciences, 2003, 4 (6), pp.687-697. Il est parfois nécessaire d'identifier certaines grandeurs ou certains paramètres caractérisant des structures ou des matériaux. Cela passe dans tous les cas par l'exploitation de données expérimentales, et les mesures de champs, par la richesse des informations fournies, sont particulièrement bien adaptées à ces objectifs. Cet article a pour objet de présenter certaines techniques d'inversion particulièrement adaptées à l'exploitation de mesures de champs. L'identification de champs de modules élastiques est choisie comme un problème modèle commode pour l'exposition, mais d'autres problèmes d'identification peuvent être abordés dans le même esprit. On s'efforce en particulier de montrer que l'identification par exploitation de mesures de champs ne doit pas nécessairement se faire par la minimisation de critères de type moindres carrés sur les observations, car le fait de disposer de champs mesurés permet de définir d'autres critères, d'une part adaptés à ce type de données et d'autre part obtenus comme conséquences directes des principes variationnels de l'élasticité. Les critères considérés ici sont principalement l'erreur en relation de comportement et l'écart à la réciprocité. Divers exemples d'illustration, de nature purement numérique pour la plupart, sont présentés. (10.1016/j.mecind.2003.09.011)

  , 2003, pp.205-212. The problem of mapping underground cavities from surface, i.e. using non-intrusive seismic measurements, is investigated via a regularized boundary integral equation method. With the ground modeled as a three-dimensional uniform, isotropic elastic half-space, the inverse analysis of seismic waves scattered by a three-dimensional void is formulated as a task of minimizing a cost function involving the misfit between experimental observations and theoretical (i.e forward) predictions. This conventional choice of setting is dictated by the very high computational cost of solving the forward elastodynamic scattering problem, which makes e.g. global search strategies infeasible. For an accurate treatment of the gradient search technique employed to solve the inverse problem, derivatives of the predictive boundary element model with respect to the cavity parameters are evaluated using an adjoint problem approach. Here as in most situations where conventional descent methods (here the quasi-Newton algorithm with BFGS formula) are used, results depend on the choice of initial guess and occasional lack of convergence occurs. This has prompted the authors to investigate the use of topological derivative as a tool for preliminary probing. The topological derivative field is computed via a relatively inexpensive procedure, and appears to yield useful indications as to the topology and approximate location of the cavity system. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the various steps developed so far. (10.1142/9789812702593_0022)

• Détermination de la réponse asymptotique d'une structure anélastique soumise à un chargement thermomécanique cyclique.
  
  • Pommier Benjamin
  , 2003. Dans le cadre du dimensionnement à la fatigue thermomécanique des culasses automobiles, nous proposons une méthode de simulation des structures soumises à des chargements cycliques. Cette méthode, alternative aux méthodes classiques (comme la méthode incrémentale) permet de résoudre des problèmes thermomécaniques cycliques non-linéaires. Il s'agit d'une Méthode Cyclique Directe qui consiste à rechercher directement la solution asymptotique d'une structure anélastique soumise à un chargement thermomécanique périodique, sans suivre l'histoire du chargement. Elle est fondée sur les techniques de grand incrément de temps [Ladevèze et al.], en prenant en compte la périodicité de l'état limite [Nguyen et al.] et la transformation de Fourier. Cette méthode permet des gains de temps importants pour les structures comprenant un grand nombre de degrés de liberté. Un développement de cette méthode dans une version commerciale d'Abaqus, a permis de montrer la faisabilité de cette approche dans le cas de la simulation d'une culasse.

  , 2004. Wherever two or more turbine components are in tight contact, Fretting-Fatigue becomes a relevant failure mechanism. Despite of on-going research on Fretting Fatigue, life prediction under fretting conditions continues being a challenge. To analytically predict fretting-fatigue life, key driving factors need to be identified and quantified in mechanical terms (stress and strain). Due to the intrinsic characteristics of contact, stress and strain fields around contact areas evolve with the loading history. They, together with material non-linearity and contact conditions need to be taken into account in order to perform a reliable life prediction. The present paper focuses on identifying the driving factors for fretting damage on blade-disk attachment under real engine conditions. Two-dimensional finite element contact calculations were carried out to quantify the influence of the key factors on mechanical quantities (stress and strain). Special attention was paid to material models and surface interaction (friction coefficient and contact conditions) in order to balance computational effort with result’s accuracy. Finally, the multi-axial fatigue criteria developed by Dang Van and co-workers is used to predict failure. For validation purposes life prediction is compared with experimental results.

  Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, Académie des sciences (Paris), 2003, 331 (4), pp.291-294. Un cadre thermodynamique d'écriture de modèles d'endommagement est introduit. Obtenu par l'adjonction de variables internes complémentaires, il s'inscrit dans celui des matériaux standards généralisés pour lesquels le domaine convexe des forces thermodynamiques admissibles est indépendant des variables internes. Il en présente ainsi les avantages. Le modèle de Marigo est replacé dans ce cadre et un autre exemple est donné combinant à la fois écrouissage isotrope et cinématique.

• Nonhydrostatic stabilization of an orthorhombic phase of zirconia
  
  • Fadda Giuseppe
  • Truskinowsky Lev
  • Zanzotto Giovanni
  Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (1998-2015), American Physical Society, 2003, 68 (13). An explicit polynomial strain-energy function for tetragonal-orthorhombic-monoclinic zirconia (ZrO2), calibrated from the conventional hydrostatic p−T phase diagram, is used to study the effects of nonhydrostatic loading on the phase equilibria in this material. Several representative sections of the phase diagram of ZrO2 in temperature and stress space, containing both triple and critical points, are computed. A new orthorhombic structure of ZrO2 is predicted to be the most stable phase for a variety of experimentally accessible shear loads, in a wide range of temperatures and pressures.

  • Feraille Fresnet Adélaïde
  • Bui Huy Duong
  • Ehrlacher Alain
  Mechanics of Materials, Elsevier, 2003, 35, pp.581-586. This paper focuses on a new analytical solution: the one of the hydrostatic-elastic problem for a wetting fluid inside a 3D penny shaped circular crack in an elastic infinite solid loaded in tension at infinity, when the vapor pressure and the variation of liquid mass can be neglected. With the surface tension phenomena, the liquid is near the crack tip and is generally in tension (negative pressure). (10.1016/S0167-6636(02)00281-8)

• An estimate of maximum ground surface motion
  
  • Pecker Alain
  Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, Académie des sciences (Paris), 2003, 331, pp.661-666. The increasing need for probability seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) of critical facilities sometimes leads to unrealistic earthquake scenarios with very high induced ground motions. From a physical standpoint these high motions cannot exist because of the limiting resistance capacity of the soil strata through which the seismic waves travel. A simple analytical model is proposed to estimate a bound to the maximum ground surface acceleration that any soil deposit can transfer. (10.1016/j.crme.2003.08.001)

• Explicit Kinetic Relation from “First Principles”
  
  • Truskinovsky L.
  • Vainchtein A.
  , 2003. We study a fully inertial discrete model of a martensitic phase transition which takes into account interactions of first and second nearest neighbors. Although the model is Hamiltonian at the microscale, it generates a nontrivial macroscopic relation between the velocity of the martensitic phase boundary and the conjugate configurational force. The apparent dissipation is due to the induced radiation of lattice waves carrying energy away from the front. (10.1007/0-387-26261-X_5)

• Growth and cellular differentiation: a physical-biochemical conundrum? The example of the hand

  Medical Hypotheses, Elsevier, 2003, 61, pp.45-51. Currently, the predominant hypothesis explains cellular differentiation as an essentially genetic intracellular process. The goal of this paper is to suggest that cell growth and differentiation may be, simply, the result of physical and chemical constraints. Bone growth occurs at the level of cartilage conjunction (growth plate) in a zone of lesser constrain. It appears that this growth also induces muscle, tendon, nerve and skin elongation. This cartilage growth by itself seems to explain the elongation of the hand. Growth stops at puberty likely because of feed-back from an increasing muscle load. The ossification (that is differentiation of cartilage into bone) appears to result from the shear stress induced. The study of bone age, obtained by X-ray picture of the hand, shows that ossification of epiphyses is very precise both in time and space. Computer modelization suggests that this ossification occurs where shear stress is greatest. The cartilage which does not ossify (joint, nose, larynx, ear, bronchus, etc.) is not exposed to high shear. Shear stress induces the secretion of extracellular matrix and a change of the biochemical environment of the cell. Precipitation of calcium phosphate, as in ossification, seems related to the alkalosis induced by shear stress. To speak in more general terms, loss of cellular differentiation, as occurs with cancer, can result from a change in the physical–chemical environments. (10.1016/S0306-9877(03)00102-6)

• Stability and bifurcation with moving discontinuities
  
  • Stolz Claude
  • Pradeilles-Duval Rachel-Marie
  , 2003, pp.261-268. The propagation of moving surface inside a body is analysed in the framework of thermodynamics, when the moving surface is associated with an irreversible change of mechanical properties. The thermodynamical force associated to the propagation has the form of an energy release rate. Quasistatic rate boundary value problem is given when the propagation of the interface is governed by a normality rule. Extension to generalised media to study delamination is also investigated.

  , 2003. This paper presents the effect of inertia of cellular structures under impact loading. Experimental results under static and dynamic loading will be presented for square tubes made of a rate quasi-insensitive material (brass), the dynamic results being obtained using modified split Hopkinson pressure bar technique. The numeric simulation under Ls-dyna of those tests giving similar results will be also presented. Presented experimental, numeric results show that the inertia effect is a dominant factor responsible for the enhancement of crushing strength of cellular structures. (10.1051/jp4:20020733)
