Riassunto

Green's Function and Boundary Elements of Multifield Materials contains a comprehensive treatment of multifield materials under coupled thermal, magnetic, electric, and mechanical loads. Its easy-to-understand text clarifies some of the most advanced techniques for deriving Green's function and the related boundary element formulation of magnetoelectroelastic materials: Radon transform, potential function approach, Fourier transform. Our hope in preparing this book is to attract interested readers and researchers to a new field that continues to provide fascinating and technologically important challenges. You will benefit from the authors' thorough coverage of general principles for each topic, followed by detailed mathematical derivation and worked examples as well as tables and figures where appropriate.

* In-depth explanations of the concept of Green's function
* Coupled thermo-magneto-electro-elastic analysis
* Detailed mathematical derivation for Green's functions

Informazioni sull?autore

Dr. Qinghua Qin received his Bachelor of Engineering degree (1982) in Mechanical Engineering from Chang An University, China and obtained his Master of Science degree (1984) and PhD (1990) in applied mechanics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), China. He joined the faculty of the Department of Mechanics at HUST from 1984 until he left for the University of Stuttgart (Germany) with the DAAD/K.C. Wong research fellowship in 1994. From 1995 to 1997, he returned to China as a postdoctoral associate at Tsinghua University.

He was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship from the Australian Research Council (ARC) in 1997 and a Professorial Fellowship of ARC in 2002 at The University of Sydney, Australia and stayed there till December 2003. He has been a Professor at the Research School of Engineering of the Australian National University, Australia from 2004 to 2021. He is now working at the Department of Engineering, Shenzhen MSU-BIT University, China. He is also appointed a guest professor at HUST since 2000 and Tianjin University since 2006.

Dalla quarta di copertina

It is noted that increased demand for high performance structures has driven new development of smart materials and structures. Due to the intrinsic coupling effect between mechanical, magnetic, and electric fields, piezoelectric ceramics have been widely used as actuation devices and, because of features such as capacity for adaptive shape processing and self-diagnosis, have been used in transducers for underwater and biomedical imaging, active damping, Robot manipulators, high precision devices, micro sensors/actuators, vibration and noise control and the like. This book is a research monograph dealing with these multifield structures using Green s function and boundary element methodology. It presents a systematic and comprehensive coverage of theoretical and numerical modelling of multifield materials. The main emphasis is placed on fundamental concepts of the Green s function, the development of different Green s functions and boundary element formulations for coupled thermo-magneto-electro-elastic problems with various geometrical defects such as holes, cracks, half-plane boundary, and inclusion. The methods are described and derived with an objective to make them more accessible to research scientists, professional engineers and postgraduate students. In addition sections containing numerical examples are added demonstrating applications of the Green s functions. Many of the numerical presented in the book are important in their own right and also as test problems for validating new formulations. The book will be of benefit to all postgraduate students, researchers, professional engineers, and academic scientists requiring an accessible introduction to this subject, and little mathematical knowledge beyond the usual calculus is needed. It is hoped that the book can serve as a stimulant to encourage further development of theoretical and numerical approaches of coupled thermo-electro-elastic problems and to draw more attention in this field from researchers, engineers and scientists.
