Measurement of the Dynamic Characteristics of Soft Soils Using the Kolsky Method

A modified Kolsky method for dynamic tests of soft soils in an elastic holder is analyzed. It is shown the axial and radial stresses in the sample are uniform. The rational geometry of the holder is determined. Friction is found to have an effect on the dynamic strain diagram obtained. It is suggested that this effect can be reduced by lubricating the inner surface of the holder.

Temperature fields in the case of unsteady flow in porous media

A study is made of the temperature fields in the case of flow in a porous medium due to redistribution of the pressure field (barothermal effect). It is shown that in an unsteady pressure field the barothermal effect depends on the nature of the variation of the pressure along the flow path of the fluid. Flow conditions are determined under which the barothermal effect is close to the Joule-Thomson effect.     

Effect of an adverse pressure gradient on the streamwise Reynolds stress profile maxima in a turbulent boundary layer

It is widely accepted that in a turbulent boundary layer （TBL） with adverse pressure gradient （APG） an outer peak usually appears in the profile of streamwise Reynolds stress. However, the effect of APG on this outer peak is not clearly understood. In this paper, the effect of APG is analysed using the numerical and experimental results in the literature. Because the effect of upstream flow is inherent in the TBL, we first analyse this effect in TBLs with zero pressure gradient on flat plates. Under the individual effect of upstream flow, an outer peak already appears in the profile of streamwise Reynolds stress when the TBL continues developing in the streamwise direction. The APG accelerates the appearance of the outer peak, instead of being a trigger.

Instability of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid cylinder due to axial current

Summary The stability of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid cylinder in the presence of an axial current is investigated. The effect of surface tension is taken into account while the effect of gravity is neglected. It is shown that the inclusion of viscous effects reduces the growth rate of instabilities. In the case of mercury the amount of reduction in the growth rates is negligibly small.     

Size-dependent bending of thin metallic films

Size-dependent large curvature pure bending of thin metallic films has been analytically studied taking into account the associated strengthening mechanisms at different thickness scales. The classical plasticity theory is applicable to films thicker than 100 μm. Consequently, their bending capacity is governed by the competition between the material hardening and the thickness reduction. For films with a thickness ranging from fractions of a micron to a few microns, in addition to the above mechanisms, the strain gradient effect plays an important role and introduces an internal length scale. When the film thickness reduces to the nano-scale, the strain gradient effect is gradually replaced by the dominant surface stress/energy effect.

The effect of transverse shear deformation on the buckling of two-layer composite columns with interlayer slip

This paper presents an efficient mathematical model for studying the buckling behavior of geometrically perfect elastic two-layer composite columns with interlayer slip between the layers. The present analytical model is based on the linearized stability theory and is capable of predicting exact critical buckling loads. Based on the parametric analysis, the critical buckling loads are compared to those in the literature. It is shown that the discrepancy between the different methods can be up to approximately 22%. In addition, a combined and an individual effect of pre-buckling shortening and transverse shear deformation on the critical buckling loads is studied in detail. A comprehensive parametric analysis reveals that generally the effect of pre-buckling shortening can be neglected, while, on the other hand, the effect of transverse shear deformation can be significant. This effect can be up to 20% for timber composite columns, 40% for composite columns very flexible in shear (pyrolytic graphite), while for metal composite columns it is insignificant.     

LES Investigation of the Flow Through an Effusion-Cooled Aeronautical Combustor Model

The present study is devoted to the analysis of the behaviour of the flow through an effusion-cooled aeronautical combustor model. High-fidelity calculations are performed on an experimental model of a combustion chamber multi-perforated wall and compared to experimental measurements. The effect of combustion instability on the effusion-cooling system is investigated by studying the interaction of an acoustic wave with the jets-in-crossflow issued from the cooling plate. It is shown that the mass-flow rate through the plate can be drastically reduced by the acoustic wave, which demonstrates the destructive effect that such instability may have on the cooling of an aeronautical combustion chamber.     

Role of the static pressure in experiments on flow control by means of surface capacitor discharges

The effect of the static pressure on the reaction force exerted on a plate above whose surface a gas flow has been induced by exciting a capacitor (barrier) discharge is investigated. In the experiments the discharge was restructured so that the reaction force and the corresponding momentum entrained by the neutral flow increased when the pressure was reduced from atmospheric pressure to 200 Torr, the power supplied to the discharge being fixed. The charge exchange effect is of importance for the formation of the resulting gas flow. It is shown that under the experimental conditions the effect of an increase in the force with decrease in pressure is associated with an increase in the plasma volume ahead of the electrodes and the total number of ions in this volume.     

Effect of interface deformability on thermocapillary motion of a drop in a tube

The effect of an externally imposed axial temperature gradient on the mobility and deformation of a drop in an otherwise stagnant liquid within an insulated cylindrical tube is investigated. In the absence of bulk transport of momentum and energy, the boundary integral technique is used to obtain the flow and temperature fields inside and outside the deformable drop. The steady drop shapes and the corresponding migration velocities are examined over a wide range of the dimensionless parameters. The steady drop shape is nearly spherical for dimensionless drop sizes <0.5, but becomes slightly elongated in the axial direction for drop sizes comparable to tube diameter. The adverse effect of drop deformation on the effective temperature gradient driving the motion is slightly more pronounced than its favorable effect of reducing drag, thereby leading to a slight reduction in drop mobility with increasing drop deformation. Increasing the viscosity ratio reduces drop deformation and leads to a slight enhancement in the relative mobility (with respect to free thermocapillary motion) of confined drops. When the drop fluid has a lower thermal conductivity than the exterior phase, the presence of the thermally-insulating wall increases the thermal driving force for drop motion (compared to that for the same drop in unbounded domain) by causing more pronounced bending of the isotherms toward the drop. However, the favorable thermal effect of the confining wall is overwhelmed by its retarding hydrodynamic effect, causing the confined drop to always move slower than its unbounded counterpart regardless of the value of the thermal conductivity ratio.     

Isotropic polynomial invariants of Hall tensor

The Hall tensor emerges from the study of the Hall effect, an important magnetic effect observed in electric conductors and semiconductors. The Hall tensor is third-order and three-dimensional, whose first two indices are skew-symmetric. This paper investigates the isotropic polynomial invariants of the Hall tensor by connecting it with a second-order tensor via the third-order Levi-Civita tensor. A minimal isotropic integrity basis with 10 invariants for the Hall tensor is proposed. Furthermore, it is proved that this minimal integrity basis is also an irreducible isotropic function basis of the Hall tensor.     

Joint Effect of Microstructure and Load on the Static Stress State of Elastic Bodies

This paper is an attempt to describe the current view of the joint effect of microstructure and load on elastic microstructural materials whose stress state is described by approximate microstructural theories rather than by the exact theory of inhomogeneous materials. Two microstructural static effects are detected: microstructural edge effect and microstructural load redistribution     

Phase velocity effects of the wave interaction with exponentially sheared current

The nonlinear interaction between the unidirectional bichromatic wave-train and exponentially sheared current in water of an infinite depth is investigated. The model is based on the vorticity transport equation and the exact free surface conditions, without any assumptions for the existence of small physical parameters. Earlier works of the wave–current interaction were mainly restricted to either current acted on the monochromatic wave or irregular waves limited to irrotational current. Different from these previous works, no constraint is made in our model for amplitudes of the primary wave, and the current owns an exponential type profile along the vertical line. To ensure that the effect of vorticity on the phase velocity is consistent with earlier derivation, the case of a small amplitude wave traveling on the exponentially sheared current is examined firstly. Then the effect of nonlinearity on the phase velocity of primary waves in a bichromatic wave-train is considered. Accurate high-order approximations of the phase velocity are obtained under consideration of both the nonlinear wave self–self and mutual interactions. Finally, the combined effect of vorticity and nonlinearity on the phase velocity is investigated through the case of a bichromatic wave-train propagating on an exponentially sheared current. It is found that the characteristic current slope determines the effect of vorticity on the phase velocity caused by nonlinear wave self–self and mutual interactions, and the surface current strength may amplify/reduce this effect.     

Effect of a pre-attached dynamic section on heat transfer in a turbulent boundary layer,with blowing

This paper gives the results of an investigation of the effect of an initial dynamic section on heat transfer with blowing. The experimental data obtained show that the preattachment of a section can have a considerable effect on the heat transfer. A method is proposed based on the use of the relative laws of heat transfer; in this case, the effect of the initial section is taken into account in terms of the Stanton number at an impermeable surface. The calculation is in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data obtained, as well as with the experimental data of other authors.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 6, pp. 126–131, November–December, 1971.     

Fractional order modeling of rotor skin effect in induction machines

This paper presents a fractional Park model which is intended to characterize skin effect of squirrel cage induction machines. Usual modeling of skin effect is based on a ladder network; it is demonstrated that a fractional impedance is an alternative to this ladder network. The fractional Park’s model has been validated by output error identification. A methodology has been proposed to select the more appropriate fractional model of the rotor, respecting the diffusive nature of skin effect.     

Solution of Eshelby's inclusion problem with a bounded domain and Eshelby's tensor for a spherical inclusion in a finite spherical matrix based on a simplified strain gradient elasticity theory

A solution for Eshelby's inclusion problem of a finite homogeneous isotropic elastic body containing an inclusion prescribed with a uniform eigenstrain and a uniform eigenstrain gradient is derived in a general form using a simplified strain gradient elasticity theory (SSGET). An extended Betti's reciprocal theorem and an extended Somigliana's identity based on the SSGET are proposed and utilized to solve the finite-domain inclusion problem. The solution for the disturbed displacement field is expressed in terms of the Green's function for an infinite three-dimensional elastic body in the SSGET. It contains a volume integral term and a surface integral term. The former is the same as that for the infinite-domain inclusion problem based on the SSGET, while the latter represents the boundary effect. The solution reduces to that of the infinite-domain inclusion problem when the boundary effect is not considered. The problem of a spherical inclusion embedded concentrically in a finite spherical elastic body is analytically solved by applying the general solution, with the Eshelby tensor and its volume average obtained in closed forms. This Eshelby tensor depends on the position, inclusion size, matrix size, and material length scale parameter, and, as a result, can capture the inclusion size and boundary effects, unlike existing Eshelby tensors. It reduces to the classical Eshelby tensor for the spherical inclusion in an infinite matrix if both the strain gradient and boundary effects are suppressed. Numerical results quantitatively show that the inclusion size effect can be quite large when the inclusion is very small and that the boundary effect can dominate when the inclusion volume fraction is very high. However, the inclusion size effect is diminishing as the inclusion becomes large enough, and the boundary effect is vanishing as the inclusion volume fraction gets sufficiently low.     

The study of wave motion in the Talbot interferometer with a lens

We present the study of the wave motion in the Talbot interferometer with an additional element such as a lens for all related audiences. Our solutions are in the analytic form. A general principle of the Talbot effect, which is the optical near-field effect, is the Fresnel diffraction. The Fresnel integral is rather complicated. We therefore introduce an alternative method which is based on the wave propagation through the transmission functions of the grating and the lens. Our method has been proved by a simple experimental setup.
