Ivestigation of the Dynamic Stress State of Foam Media in Cosserat Elasticity

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents studies on the application of the boundary integral equation method for investigation of dynamic stress state of foam media with tunnel cavities in Cosserat continuum. For the solution of the non-stationary problem, the Fourier transform for time variable was used. The potential representations of Fourier transform displacements and microrotations are written. The fundamental functions of displacements and microrotations for the two-dimensional case of Cosserat continuum are built. Thus, the fundamental functions of displacement for the time-domain problem are derived as the functions of the two-dimensional isotropic continuum and the functions, which are responsible for the effect of shear-rotation deformations. The method of mechanical quadrature is applied for numerical calculations. Numerical example shows the comparison of distribution of dynamic stresses in the foam medium with the cavity under the action of impulse load accounting for the shear-rotation deformations effect and without accounting for this effect.
