Thermoelastically coupled axisymmetric nonlinear vibration of shallow spherical and conical shells

The problem of axisymmetric nonlinear vibration for shallow thin spherical and conical shells when temperature and strain fields are coupled is studied. Based on the large deflection theories of yon Ktirrntin and the theory of thermoelusticity, the whole governing equations and their simplified type are derived. The time-spatial variables are separated by Galerkin ‘ s technique, thus reducing the governing equations to a system of time-dependent nonlinear ordinary differential equation. By means of regular perturbation method and multiple-scales method, the first-order approximate analytical solution for characteristic relation of frequency vs amplitude parameters along with the decay rate of amplitude are obtained, and the effects of different geometric parameters and coupling factors us well us boundary conditions on thermoelustically coupled nonlinear vibration behaviors are discussed.

The singular perturbation for the buckling of a truncated shallow spherical shell with the large geometrical parameter

A problem of practical interest for nonlinear axisymmetrical stability of a truncated shallow spherical shell of the large geometrical parameter with an articulated external edge and a nondeformable rigid body at the center under compound loads is investigated in this paper. By using modified method of multiple scales, the uniformly valid asymptotic solutions of this boundary value problem are obtained when the geometrical parameter k is large.

Controlled buckling of thin film on elastomeric substrate in large deformation

Electronic systems with large stretchability have many applications. A precisely controlled buckling strategy to increase the stretchability has been demonstrated by combining lithographically patterned surface bonding chemistry and a buckling process. The buckled geometry was assumed to have a sinusoidal form, which may result in errors to determine the strains in the film. A theoretical model is presented in this letter to study the mechanics of this type of thin film/substrate system by discarding the assumption of sinusoidal buckling geometry. It is shown that the previous model overestimates the deflection and curvature in the thin film. The results from the model agree well with finite element simulations and therefore provide design guidelines in many applications ranging from stretchable electronics to micro/nano scale surface patterning and precision metrology.     

Stress-strain analysis of a composite truncated conical shell

The stress-strain state of a nonshallow truncated conical shell made of a composite material and subjected to axial forces at the ends is studied. A variational difference method is used. Calculations are carried out for an orthotropic shell with low shear stiffness __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 7, pp. 66–72, July 2007.

Using a singular perturbation method,the nonlinear stability of a truncated shallow,spherical shell without a nondeformable rigid body at the center under linear distributed loads along the interior edge is investigated in this paper.When the geometrical parameter k is large,the uniformly valid asymptotic solutions are obtained.     

On the structure of continua and the mathematical properties of algebraic elastodynamic of a triclinic structural system

This paper is neither laudatory nor derogatory but it simply contrasts with what might be called elastostatic (or static topology), a proposition of the famous six equations. The extension strains and the shearing strains which were derived by A.L. Cauchy, are linearly expressed in terms of nine partial derivatives of the displacement function (u _i ,u _j ,u _h )=u(x ⁱ ,x ^j ,x ^k ) and it is impossible for the inverse proposition to sep up a system of the above six equations in expressing the nine components of matrix (∂(u _i ,u _j ,u _h )/∂(x ⁱ ,x ^j ,x ^k )). This is due to the fact that our geometrical representations of deformation at a given point are as yet incomplete^[1]. On the other hand, in more geometrical language this theorem is not true to any triangle, except orthogonal, for “squared length” in space^[2]. The purpose of this paper is to describe some mathematic laws of algebraic elastodynamics and the relationships between the above-mentioned important questions.
