Abstract:
Self-action and effects mutually induced by oscillations interacting in hysteretic media are investigated analytically and numerically. Special attention is paid to non-simplex processes for which presence of intermediate extrema results in appearance of minor nested loops inside the main hysteretic stress-strain loop. Non-simplex regimes are typical of interaction of excitations having different frequencies and amplitudes, but comparable strain rates. It is found that, due to transition between the regimes, frequency and amplitude dependencies of the variations in elasticity and dissipation induced by one wave for another one may become non-monotonous. Either additional dissipation or induced transparency may occur in different regimes. The results obtained are important for correct interpretation of experimental data on nonlinear acoustic interactions in rocks and many other microstructured (mesoscopic) solids that are known to exhibit elastic hysteresis and memory properties.
