On some contact problems for composite half-spaces PMM vol. 31, no. 6, 1967, pp. 1001–1008

Solutions are presented herein of some contact problems connected with the torsion of a composite half-space. In the general case the problem of the torsion of a composite elastic half-space is examined by means of the rotation of a stiff finite cylinder welded into a vertical recess of this half-space. Moreover, the following particular problems on the torsion of such a half-space are considered.

1. 1) A composite half-space with a vertical elastic infinite core, twisted by means of the rotation of a stiff stamp affixed to the upper endplate of the elastic core.

2. 2) A half-space with a vertical cylindrical infinite hole, twisted by means of the rotation of a stiff finite cylinder welded into the upper part of this hole.

In the general case the solution of the problem reduces to the solution of an integral equation of the second kind on a half-line. The question of the solvability of this fundamental integral equation is investigated, and it is shown that its solution may be constructed by successive approximations.

Let us note that the problem of the torsion of a homogeneous half space and of an elastic layer by means of rotation of a stiff stamp has been considered by Rostovtsev [1], Reissner and Sagoci [2], Ufliand [3], Florence [4], Grilitskii [5] and others.

The problem of the torsion of a circular cylindrical rod and the half-space welded to it which are subject to a torque applied to the free endface of the rod has been considered by Grilitskii and Kizyma[6].

The torsion of an elastic half-space with a vertical cylindrical inclusion of some other material by the rotation of a stiff stamp on the surface of this half-space has been considered in [7], wherein it has been assumed that the stamp is symmetrically disposed relative to the axis of the inclusion and lies simultaneously on both materials.     

Action of an elliptic stamp moving at a constant speed on an elastic half-space : PMM vol. 42, no. 6, 1978, pp 1074–1079

The action of a rigid stamp moving at a constant speed, on the boundary of an elastic half-space, is investigated. It is assumed that the frictional forces between the stamp and the surface of the half-space are absent. The integral equation obtained in [1] yields formulas for the pressure, for the case when the area of contact between the stamp and the half-space has an elliptic form.     

Addendum to the paper “on certain exact solutions of the fourier equation for regions varying with time” : PMM vol. 37, n6, 1973, pp. 1145–1146

The exact solutions given in [1] are generalized to the case of cylindrical and spherical sectors rotating about the azimuth relative to the coordinate origin either at a uniform rate or with uniform acceleration (or deceleration). The class of equations of motion of the boundaries of the half-space (in the Cartesian coordinates) which lead to exact solutions of the Fourier equation defined in these domains, is enlarged.     

Three-dimensional contact problem for a prestressed elastic body : PMM vol. 42, no. 6, 1978, pp 1080–1084

A half-space of an incompressible neo — Hookean [1,2] material subjected to a homogeneous bi-axial tension or compression along its boundary, is considered. A small deformation caused by the action of a smooth rigid stamp on the boundary of the half-space is superimposed on the initial finite deformation. An integral equation is obtained for the contact pressure. A solution of this equation is obtained for an inclined elliptic stamp with a flat base, and for an elliptic stamp with a curved base, for the cases when the extension coefficients in two directions are either identical, or differ little from each other. The influence of the inital loading on the distribution of the contact pressure, the displacement of the stamp and the form of the contact zone, is analysed.     

Pressure of a plane stamp of nearly circular cross section on an elastic half-space : PMM vol. 40, n 6, 1976, pp. 1143–1145

An approximate method of solving the contact problem of impressing a plane stamp of nearly circular cross section into an elastic half-space is suggested. The friction of the contact surface is neglected. A numerical algorithm for the method is produced. An elliptical and rectangular stamps are considered as examples.There is no general method of solving the problems for stamps of nearly circular cross section. Apart from the classical problem of a plane elliptical stamp, the literature gives solutions for the problems of polygonal stamps, with each problem however requiring a different approach. An approximate solution for the problem of impressing a stamp of nearly circular cross section into an elastic half-space is given in [1]. The method makes it possible to use the same approach to solve the contact problem for an arbitrary region of contact, and to construct an universal numerical algorithm. The program can be adapted to each particular case by making the corresponding changes in the procedure of computing the Fourier coefficients of the equation of the boundary of the area of contact. Below a numerical algorithm for the approximate method in question is given. A more effective formulation of the solution is given for the case of the elliptical stamp.

Nonstationary mass transfer of a reacting spherical particle in laminar stream of a viscous fluid : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 1041–1047

The process of the formation of a stationary mass transfer mode for a moving reacting particle is examined. An analytic expression valid for a nonstationary distribution of the concentration of matter in a steady stream of viscous fluid, flowing past a spherical particle, was obtained for the case when at a certain instant a chemical reaction of the first order begins at the surface of the sphere. The problem is solved for small finite Reynolds and Péclet numbers. The solution of the corresponding stationary problem has been obtained in [1]. Paper [2] examined a nonstationary heat transfer of a fluid spherical drop in an inviscid flow with spasmodic change of initial temperature at high Péclet numbers. Paper [3] contains an analysis of the problem of a nonstationary heat transfer of a rigid spherical particle for small Reynolds and Péclet numbers at spasmodic change of temperature of the particle surface. The results obtained in [3] can be used to describe the mass transfer for a moving reacting particle only in the case of a diffusion mode of the chemical reaction.     

Inverse determination of thermal conductivity using semi-discretization method

In this work a semi-discretization method is presented for the inverse determination of spatially- and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity in a one-dimensional heat conduction domain without internal temperature measurements. The temperature distribution is approximated as a polynomial function of position using boundary data. The derivatives of temperature in the differential heat conduction equation are taken derivative of the approximated temperature function, and the derivative of thermal conductivity is obtained by finite difference technique. The heat conduction equation is then converted into a system of discretized linear equations. The unknown thermal conductivity is estimated by directly solving the linear equations. The numerical procedures do not require prior information of functional form of thermal conductivity. The close agreement between estimated results and exact solutions of the illustrated examples shows the applicability of the proposed method in estimating spatially- and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity in inverse heat conduction problem.     

Instability of thermoelastic interaction between a half-space and a rigid base through a thin liquid layer

We investigate the instability of thermoelastic interaction between elastic and rigid half-spaces through a liquid interlayer under the conditions of heat transfer across the interfaces. Due to the small thickness of the liquid layer, its influence on the temperature field is taken into account by the thermal resistance of the contact between the bodies, which depends on the normal displacement of the boundary of the elastic body. The pressure inside the liquid is equal to the external pressure applied to the bodies. We determined the critical value of the external heat flow for which the instability becomes possible in such a system and studied the dependence of this value on the parameters of the elastic half-space, the thickness of the liquid layer, and its thermal conduction.

The plane contact problem of steady thermoelasticity taking heat generation into account

The plane steady contact problem of thermoelasticity when there is heat generation from friction, which arises when an infinite cylindrical punch moves over the surface of an elastic half-space along its generatrix, is considered. It is assumed that heat exchange between the free boundary of the half-space and the surrounding medium obeys Newton's law, while the condition for ideal thermal contact exists in the region in which the solids interact. The problem is reduced to a system of three integral equations in the heat fluxes and temperature. The effect of the thermal and mechanical properties of the cylinder and the half-space on the main contact characteristics is investigated numerically.     

State-space approach for an infinite medium with a spherical cavity based upon two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory and fractional heat conduction

This paper is concerned with the determination of the thermoelastic displacement, stress, conductive temperature, and thermodynamic temperature in an infinite isotropic elastic body with a spherical cavity. A general solution to the problem based on the two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory (2TT) is introduced. The theory of thermal stresses based on the heat conduction equation with Caputo’s time-fractional derivative of order α is used. Some special cases of coupled thermoelasticity and generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time are obtained. The general solution is provided by using Laplace’s transform and state-space techniques. It is applied to a specific problem when the boundary of the cavity is subjected to thermomechanical loading (thermal shock). Some numerical analyses are carried out using Fourier’s series expansion techniques. The computed results for thermoelastic stresses, conductive temperature, and thermodynamic temperature are shown graphically and the effects of two-temperature and fractional-order parameters are discussed.     

The thermal wake of a streamlined body

The stationary problem of the thermal wake behind a body around which there is a flow of a viscous incompressible fluid is considered within the framework of the full heat-conduction equation. It is assumed that the solution of the corresponding hydrodynamic problem is known. In the case of the hydrodynamic problem, theorems of existence [1,2] and uniqueness [1] have been proved and the leading term of the expansion [1, 3] at an infinitely remote point has been obtained together with estimates of the remaining terms [1, 4]. Work mainly carried out within the framework of the boundary layer approximation [5] is concerned with the solution of the thermal problem.     

On some problems with unknown boundaries for the heat conduction equation PMM, vol. 31, no. 6, 1967, pp. 1009–1020

A certain class of problems with unknown boundaries are considered herein in connection with the problem, posed by Barenblatt and Ishlinskii [1], on the impact of a viscoplastic rod on a rigid obstacle, which was the fundamental model for typification of this class. The presence of singularities in the unknown functions (the desired solution of the heat conduction equation has a discontinuous point, the derivatives of the unknown boundary are unbounded), and the nonmonotonous behavior of the unknown boundary are characteristic of the considered problems^*.

A theorem on the of the solution of these problems is established, functional equations are derived for the unknown boundaries (equivalent to an initial value problem), and some properties of the solution are discussed (in more detail in the case of the above-mentioned problem of impact of a rod).

Propagation of longitudinal viscoelastic waves in a three-layer medium

The nonstationary problem of propagation of a longitudinal plane one-dimensional stress wave through a plane-parallel viscoelastic layer of finite thickness separating two linear elastic half-spaces with different properties is solved in the linear formulation. A plane wave traveling in one of the half-spaces is normally incident on the boundary of the layer (one-dimensional problem). The field in the other elastic half-space, excited as a result of the multiple reflection of the fronts from the boundaries of the layer, is investigated. Graphs of the small displacements at a given point of the elastic half-space are presented. The solution of the problem is based on the dynamic correspondence principle formulated by Bland [3].Central Scientific-Research Institute of Machine Building, Moscow.

The interaction of punches on a transversely isotropic half-space

Three-dimensional contact problems on the interaction of two similar punches on an elastic transversely isotropic half-space (five elastic constants) are investigated, when the isotropy planes are perpendicular to the boundary of the half-space. In this connection the stiffness of the half-space boundary depends on the direction. The kernel of the integral equation of the contact problems is represented in a quadrature-free form using the theory of generalized functions. This form of the kernel enables it to be regularized at singular points and enables Galanov's method to be used to solve the contact problem with an unknown contact area.     

Transient thermoelastic response in a cracked strip of functionally graded materials via generalized fractional heat conduction

This work is devoted to analyzing a thermal shock problem of an elastic strip made of functionally graded materials containing a crack parallel to the free surface based on a generalized fractional heat conduction theory. The embedded crack is assumed to be insulated. The Fourier transform and the Laplace transform are employed to solve a mixed initial-boundary value problem associated with a time-fractional partial differential equation. Temperature and thermal stresses in the Laplace transform domain are evaluated by solving a system of singular integral equations. Numerical results of the thermoelastic fields in the time domain are given by applying a numerical inversion of the Laplace transform. The temperature jump between the upper and lower crack faces and the thermal stress intensity factors at the crack tips are illustrated graphically, and phase lags of heat flux, fractional orders, and gradient index play different roles in controlling heat transfer process. A comparison of the temperature jump and thermal stress intensity factors between the non-Fourier model and the classical Fourier model is made. Numerical results show that wave-like behavior and memory effects are two significant features of the fractional Cattaneo heat conduction, which does not occur for the classical Fourier heat conduction.     

Finite integral transform-based analytical solutions of dual phase lag bio-heat transfer equation

A finite integral transform (FIT)-based analytical solution to the dual phase lag (DPL) bio-heat transfer equation has been developed. One of the potential applications of this analytical approach is in the field of photo-thermal therapy, wherein the interest lies in determining the thermal response of laser-irradiated biological samples. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the generalized analytical solutions, three problems have been formulated: (1) time independent boundary conditions (constant surface temperature heating), (2) time dependent boundary conditions (medium subjected to sinusoidal surface heating), and (3) biological tissue phantoms subjected to short-pulse laser irradiation. In the context of the case study involving biological tissue phantoms, the FIT-based analytical solutions of Fourier, as well as non-Fourier, heat conduction equations have been coupled with a numerical solution of the transient form of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) to determine the resultant temperature distribution. Performance of the FIT-based approach has been assessed by comparing the results of the present study with those reported in the literature. A comparison of DPL-based analytical solutions with those obtained using the conventional Fourier and hyperbolic heat conduction models has been presented. The relative influence of relaxation times associated with the temperature gradients (τ_T) and heat flux (τ_q) on the resultant thermal profiles has also been discussed. To the best of the knowledge of the authors, the present study is the first successful attempt at developing complete FIT-based analytical solution(s) of non-Fourier heat conduction equation(s), which have subsequently been coupled with numerical solutions of the transient form of the RTE. The work finds its importance in a range of areas such as material processing, photo-thermal therapy, etc.     

On the stability of elastic bodies with random in homogeneities under finite deformations : PMM vol. 43, no. 6, 1979, pp. 1125–1129

Stability of stochastically inhomogeneous, compressible elastic bodies with respect to small, as well as to finite perturbations, is studied in three-dimensional formulation. The bodies are under deterministic external loads and experience finite subcritical deformations.

The stability of elastic bodies with random inhomogeneilies was studied for the case of small, subcritical deformations in [1]. The basic relations for a stochastically inhomogeneous compressible hyperelastic body can be obtained from the relations for compressible hyperelastic media given in [2].
