DECAGONAL QU ASICRYSTALLINE ELLIPTICAL INCLUSIONS UNDER THERMOMECHANICAL LOADING

In this work, an elegant method is proposed to derive the thermoelastic field in- duced by thermomechanical loadings in a decagonal quasicrystalline composite composed of an infinite matrix reinforced by an elliptical inclusion. The thermomechanical loadings include a uniform temperature change, remote uniform in-plane heat fluxes and remote uniform in-plane stresses. The corresponding boundary value problem is ultimately reduced to the solution of two independent sets of four coupled linear algebraic equations, each of which involves four complex constants characterizing the internal stress field. The solution demonstrates that a uniform tem- perature change and remote uniform stresses will induce an internal uniform stress field, and that uniform heat fluxes will result in a linearly distributed internal stress field within the elliptical inclusion. The induced uniform rigid body rotation within the inclusion is given explicitly.     

Computer extension of perturbation series for mixed convection on a vertical plate: favourable and adverse flows

The mixed convection boundary layer on a vertical flat plate for uniform wall temperature/uniform heat flux is investigated using computer extension of perturbation series. The first thirteen terms for the uniform wall temperature case and the first ten terms for the uniform heat flux case are computed. The expansion, when transformed by Euler transform and other techniques, predicts the exact results to three-digit accuracy for all values of the streamwise coordinate, ξ, along the plate. For uniform wall temperature, the maximum error is 0.0087% for skin-friction and 0.00065% for heat-transfer. For uniform heat flux, the maximum error is 1.027% for skin-friction and 0.288% for wall temperature.

The Eshelby property of sliding inclusions

The present paper solves the problem of sliding ellipsoidal/elliptical inclusion with the Eshelby property. Results show that the sliding ellipsoidal/elliptical inclusions can have uniform eigenstresses if the prescribed uniform eigenstrains fulfill certain prerequisites. Solutions and prerequisites are obtained for ellipsoidal and elliptical inclusions, respectively. It is shown that the eligible uniform eigenstrains inducing uniform eigenstresses can be shear or non-shear eigenstrains, depending on the geometric shape and the material constants of the inclusion. The study indicates that inclusions of degenerated form, like spheroids, spheres and circles, may also maintain uniform eigenstresses. At last, the corresponding discussion for the inhomogeneous sliding inclusion problem with both eigenstrain and remote loading is also given.

The symmetry and loading-independency of multiple inclusions enclosing uniform stresses in an infinite elastic plane

The identification of multiple interacting inclusions with uniform internal stresses in an infinite elastic matrix subjected to a uniform remote loading is of fundamental importance in the mechanics and design of particulate composite materials. In anti-plane shear and plane deformations, certain sufficient conditions have been established in the literature which guarantee uniform internal stresses inside multiple interacting inclusions displaying various symmetries when the matrix is subjected to specific uniform remote loading. Correspondingly, sufficient conditions which allow for the design of multiple interacting inclusions independent of any specific form of (uniform) remote loading have also been established. In this paper, we demonstrate rigorously that, in all cases, these sufficient conditions are also necessary conditions and indeed allow for the identification of all possible collections of such inclusions.     

Uniformity of stresses inside an elliptic inclusion in finite plane elastostatics

We consider an elastic inclusion embedded in a particular class of harmonic materials subjected to uniform remote stress. Using complex variable techniques, we show that if the Piola stress within the inclusion is uniform, the inclusion is necessarily an ellipse except in the special case when the (uniform) remote stress assumes a particular form. In addition, we obtain the complete solution for an elliptic inclusion with uniform interior stress for any uniform remote stress distribution.

Solutions to the Pólya–Szegö Conjecture and the Weak Eshelby Conjecture

Eshelby showed that if an inclusion is of elliptic or ellipsoidal shape then for any uniform elastic loading the field inside the inclusion is uniform. He then conjectured that the converse is true, that is, that if the field inside an inclusion is uniform for all uniform loadings, then the inclusion is of elliptic or ellipsoidal shape. We call this the weak Eshelby conjecture. In this paper we prove this conjecture in three dimensions. In two dimensions, a stronger conjecture, which we call the strong Eshelby conjecture, has been proved: if the field inside an inclusion is uniform for a single uniform loading, then the inclusion is of elliptic shape. We give an alternative proof of Eshelby’s conjecture in two dimensions using a hodographic transformation. As a consequence of the weak Eshelby’s conjecture, we prove in two and three dimensions a conjecture of Pólya and Szegö on the isoperimetric inequalities for the polarization tensors (PTs). The Pólya–Szegö conjecture asserts that the inclusion whose electrical PT has the minimal trace takes the shape of a disk or a ball.     

Effects of pressure work and viscous dissipation on Graetz problem for gas flows in parallel-plate channels

The analytical solutions are obtained for the Graetz problem with pressure work and viscous dissipation in the thermal entrance region of the parallel-plate channels for two basic boundary conditions of uniform wall temperature and uniform wall heat flux involving fully developed laminar gas flows. The asymptotic Nusselt number is found to be zero instead of the conventionally accepted value of 7.54 for the uniform wall temperature case and (140/17)/ [1+(27/17) PrEc] for uniform wall heat flux case. The effects of pressure work and viscous dissipation contribute significantly to the asymptotic results for heat transfer and cannot be neglected under any circumstances in the case of uniform wall temperature. Sample results are presented to illustrate the effects of pressure work and viscous dissipation on heat transfer characteristics in the thermal entrance region.     

湍流边界层等动量区演化机理的实验研究

等动量区是瞬时流场中流体动量接近的局部区域,其生成和分布与相干结构密切相关. 对等动量区的研究有助于更深入认识湍流边界层相干结构,但目前对其演化过程还缺乏实验支持和机理分析. 设计并使用移动式高时间分辨率粒子图像测速技术(TRPIV)系统对光滑平板湍流边界层进行了跟踪测量,用滤波方式对数据进行降噪,结合对直接数值模拟数据的插值结果,获得脉动速度信号. 使用改进方法去掉非湍流的影响,检测边界层内的等动量区,得到其数量的时间序列,结合流向速度概率密度函数分布的变化,分析得出了等动量区的数量在大的时间尺度下从一个稳态到另一个稳态的阶梯状变化特点. 分解不同尺度的脉动速度,对大尺度和小尺度脉动信号进行条件平均,发现大尺度脉动对等动量区数量变化起主要作用,表现为不同速度流体通过发生不同猝发事件改变流向速度概率密度函数分布. 分析流向大尺度脉动空间分布的变化,发现等动量区内常含有多个大尺度脉动区域,不同区域的扩张、收缩、分裂、合并影响流向速度的集中程度,进而导致等动量区数量的变化.      

THE REMARKABLE NATURE OF RADIALLY SYMMETRIC DEFORMATION OF ANISOTROPIC PIEZOELECTRIC INCLUSION

The present paper deals with spherically symmetric deformation of an inclusion- matrix problem, which consists of an infinite isotropic matrix and a spherically uniform anisotropic piezoelectric inclusion. The interface between the two phases is supposed to be perfect and the system is subjected to uniform loadings at infinity. Exact solutions are obtained for solid spherical piezoelectric inclusion and isotropic matrix. When the system is subjected to a remote traction, analytical results show that remarkable nature exists in the spherical inclusion. It is demonstrated that an infinite stress appears at the center of the inclusion. Furthermore, a cavitation may occur at the center of the inclusion when the system is subjected to uniform tension, while a black hole may be formed at the center of the inclusion when the applied traction is uniform pressure. The appearance of different remarkable nature depends only on one non-dimensional material parameter and the type of the remote traction, while is independent of the magnitude of the traction.     

Three-dimensional numerical study of jet-in-crossflow characteristics at low Reynolds number

A numerical study of a square jet in a cross flow is carried out at a Reynolds number of 100. The flow field and heat transfer characteristic downstream of the jet have been explored by solving three-dimensional unsteady Navier–Stokes equations and energy equation using higher order spatial and temporal discretization. The projection of vortical structure on a plane is seen to give the component of vortex normal to the plane. Four combinations of velocity profile namely (1) uniform crossflow and uniform jet, (2) laminar boundary layer crossflow and uniform jet, (3) uniform crossflow and parabolic jet profile, and (4) laminar boundary layer crossflow and parabolic jet are compared at same phase to see their effect on the flow field and heat transfer characteristic. All the four cases are seen to exhibit unsteadiness but the jet with parabolic profile is seen to show stronger unsteadiness. The instantaneous vortical structures of all the cases at the same phase show that the structures are more complex for the jet with parabolic velocity profile. The temperature field is seen to be correlated with the vortical structures. Comparison of the time averaged flow field reveals that the jet penetration is the highest for the jet having parabolic profile and boundary layer crossflow. The adiabatic effectiveness is observed to be more for the jet with uniform velocity profile and uniform crossflow and was least for the jet with parabolic velocity profile and boundary layer crossflow.     

Stress concentration due to an array or hemispherical cavities at the surface of an elastic half-space

The paper investigates the perturbation in an otherwise uniform stress field in an elastic half-space due to a doubly-periodic array of small hemispherical holes at the free surface. The solution is obtained using three potential functions of double Fourier series form in Galerkin's strain potential solution, the coefficients of which are determined using the collocation method. The unperturbed field is taken to be one of uniform plane stress parallel to the free surface. Two special cases are studied—uniform tension and uniform shear stress. Numerical results for these cases can be generalized by superposition to give solutions for a general state of biaxial plane stress. It is found that, for both tension and shear, the maximum stress concentration occurs at the bottom of the holes. The stress concentration factor increases with the ratio of hole spacing to radius, approaching the known solution for a single hemispherical hole at large ratios.     

On Structured Surfaces with Defects: Geometry,Strain Incompatibility,Stress Field,and Natural Shapes

In this paper we study the stress and deformation fields generated by nonlinear inclusions with finite eigenstrains in anisotropic solids. In particular, we consider finite eigenstrains in transversely isotropic spherical balls and orthotropic cylindrical bars made of both compressible and incompressible solids. We show that the stress field in a spherical inclusion with uniform pure dilatational eigenstrain in a spherical ball made of an incompressible transversely isotropic solid such that the material preferred direction is radial at any point is uniform and hydrostatic. Similarly, the stress in a cylindrical inclusion contained in an incompressible orthotropic cylindrical bar is uniform hydrostatic if the radial and circumferential eigenstrains are equal and the axial stretch is equal to a value determined by the axial eigenstrain. We also prove that for a compressible isotropic spherical ball and a cylindrical bar containing a spherical and a cylindrical inclusion, respectively, with uniform eigenstrains the stress in the inclusion is uniform (and hydrostatic for the spherical inclusion) if the radial and circumferential eigenstrains are equal. For compressible transversely isotropic and orthotropic solids, we show that the stress field in an inclusion with uniform eigenstrain is not uniform, in general. Nevertheless, in some special cases the material can be designed in order to maintain a uniform stress field in the inclusion. As particular examples to investigate such special cases, we consider compressible Mooney-Rivlin and Blatz-Ko reinforced models and find analytical expressions for the stress field in the inclusion.     

Combined action of transverse oscillations and uniform cross-flow on vortex formation and pattern of a circular cylinder

This paper attempts to study the roles of lateral cylinder oscillations and a uniform cross-flow in the vortex formation and wake modes of an oscillating circular cylinder. A circular cylinder is given lateral oscillations of varying amplitudes (between 0.28 and 1.42 cylinder-diameters) in a slow uniform flow stream (Reynolds number=284) to produce the 2S, 2P and P+S wake modes. Detailed flow information is obtained with time-resolved particle-image velocimetry and the phase-locked averaging techniques. In the 2S and 2P mode, the flow speeds relative to the cylinder movement are less than the uniform flow velocity and it is found that initial formation of a vortex is caused by shear-layer separation of the uniform flow on the cylinder. Subsequent development of the shear-layer vortices is affected by the lateral cylinder movement. At small cylinder oscillation amplitudes, vortices are shed in synchronization with the cylinder movement, resulting in the 2S mode. The 2P mode occurs at larger cylinder oscillation amplitudes at which each shear-layer vortex is found to undergo intense stretching and eventual bifurcation into two separate vortices. The P+S mode occurs when the cylinder moving speeds are, for most of the time, higher than the speed of the uniform flow. These situations are found at fast and large-amplitude cylinder oscillations in which the flow relative to the cylinder movement takes over the uniform flow in governing the initial vortex formation. The formation stages of vortices from the cylinder are found to bear close resemblance to those of a vortex street pattern of a cylinder oscillating in an otherwise quiescent fluid at Keulegan–Carpenter numbers around 16. Vortices in the inclined vortex street pattern so formed are then convected downstream by the uniform flow as the vortex pairs in the 2P mode.     

Constitutive function,residual stress,and state of uniform stress in arteries

Fung (1983) has conjectured that the residual stress in an artery distributes itself in such a way to assure that the circumferential stress is uniform across the artery wall under physiological conditions. In this work, we identify the entire class of constitutive functions for which the circumferential stress is uniform across the artery wall when it is subjected to an internal pressure. It is found that these constitutive functions do not necessarily endow residual stresses. Furthermore, a subset of the class of the constitutive functions is identified for which the circumferential stresses are uniform for the entire range of internal pressures. The constitutive functions in this sub-class are found to have zero residual stress. It is the inhomogeneity, rather than residual stress, that assures uniform circumferential stresses. We also examine the possibility of utilizing these constitutive functions in the design and fabrication of an engineered blood vessel with optimal mechanical properties.     

The determination of the elastic field of a polygonal star shaped inclusion

Recently we found that the elastic field is uniform in a pentagonal star (five-pointed star inclusion) [1], and in a triangular inclusion [2], when an eigenstrain is distributed uniformly in these inclusions. This result is similar to the famous result of Eshelby (1957) that the elastic field is uniform in an ellipsoidal inclusion in an infinitely body when an eigenstrain is distributed uniformly in the ellipsoidal inclusion. We also found that for a Jewish star (Star of David or six points star) or a rectangular inclusion subjected to a uniform eigenstrain, the stress field is not uniform in these inclusions. These results also hold for two dimensional plane strain cases. Furthermore these analytical results are confirmed experimentally by photoelasticity method. In this paper, we investigate a more general inclusion of an m-pointed polygonal inclusion subjected to the uniform eigenstrain. We conclude that the stress field is uniform when m is odd number. This conclusion agrees with the speculation made by B. Boley after the author's talk at Shizuoka [2].     

A screw dislocation near a non-elliptical piezoelectric inhomogeneity with internal uniform electroelastic field

Conformal mapping and analytic continuation are employed to prove the existence of an internal uniform electroelastic field inside a non-elliptical piezoelectric inhomogeneity interacting with a screw dislocation. We focus specifically on the case when the piezoelectric matrix surrounding the inhomogeneity is subjected to uniform remote anti-plane mechanical and in-plane electrical loading and a constraint is imposed between the remote loading and the screw dislocation. The constraint can be expressed in a relatively simple decoupled form by utilizing orthogonality relationships between two corresponding eigenvectors. The internal uniform electroelastic field is found to be independent of the presence of the screw dislocation; moreover, it can be expressed in decoupled form.
