THE EQUATIONS OF MOTION OF A SYSTEM UNDER THE ACTION OF THE IMPULSIVE CONSTRAINTS

In order to solve the problem of motion for the system withn degrees offreedom under the action of p impulsive constraints, we must solve the simultaneous equations consisting of n+p equations. In this paper, it has been shown that the undetermined multipliers in the equations of impact can be cancelled for the cases of both the generalized coordinates and the quasi-coordinates. Thus there are only n-p equations of impact. Combining these equations with p impulsive constraint equations, we have simultaneous equations consisting of n equations. Therefore, only n equations are necessary to solve the problem of impact for the system subjected to impulsive constraints. The method proposed in this paper is simpler than ordinary methods.

PREDICTION OF THE VISCOELASTIC PROPERTIES OF THE EQUIVALENT PARTICLE FOR THE INTERCALATED MULTI-LAYER STACK OF NANOPLASTICS

The aim of this paper is to apply the asymptotic homogenization method to deter- mining analytically and numerically the transversely isotropic viscoelastic relaxation moduli of the equivalent particle for the intercalated multi-layer stack of intercalated type nanoplastics.A two-phase multilayered material containing n layers is considered.The matrix is assumed to be an isotropic viscoelastic standard linear body and the reinforcement is assumed to be an isotropic elastic body.Final explicit analytical formulae for the effective elastic moduli of the multilay- ered material are derived first;and then the correspondence principle is employed to obtain the homogenized relaxation moduli of the equivalent intercalated particle.A numerical example is given.Final explicit analytical formulae in the time domain derived here make it convenient to estimate the influence of all the particle parameters of micro-structural details on the effective properties of the equivalent intercalated particle.The results of this paper can also be applied to multi-layer composites.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE GENERAL EXPRESSION FOR THE STRESS FUNCTION φ OF THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL PROBLEM

In this paper,it is pointed that the general expression for the stress functionφ_0 of theplane problem in polar coordinates is incomplete.The problems of the curved bar with anarbitrary distributive load at the boundries can’t be solved by this stress function.For thisreason,we suggest two new stress functions and put them into the general expression.Then,the problems of the curved bar applied with an arbitrary distributive load at r=a,bboundaries can be solved.This is a new stress function including geometric boundaryconstants.

Experimental validation of the constitutive equations of thermoelastoplasticity including the third invariant of the stress deviator

The equations describing thermoelastoplastic deformation along nonstraight paths and taking into account the third invariant of the stress deviator are experimentally validated. The equations contain two scalar functions that are specified in base tests on tubular specimens. The test data are tabulated. The values of the scalar functions for strains, temperature, and stress mode are found by using nonlinear interpolation of the data and the temperature similarity of the functions. The stresses in elements of the body are calculated from given strains by the method of successive approximations     

Determination of the shape of the downstream slope of an earth-fill dam from the seepage strength conditions at the face

Inverse boundary-value problems of determining the slope of an earth-fill dam (or its core) for which the local seepage strength conditions are exactly satisfied over the entire face, with no unnecessary margin, are formulated. Variants of these conditions are examined for cases of suffosion (undermining), local slip and contact suffosion. The shape of the boundary of the region in the velocity hodograph plane is established and the possibility of using it to construct a solution is demonstrated. Analytical and numerical methods of solution are proposed and justified. It is shown that problems with a condition similar to that associated with slip can be solved by Polubarinova-Kochina's analytical method [5]. For a number of special cases solutions are obtained in explicit form and the results of numerical calculations are presented.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, 101–107, May–June, 1987.     

On the determination of the sum of the principal stresses in two-dimensional problems

The well-known principle of the determination of the sum of principal stresses in plates by measuring thickness changes is applied in this paper to “frozen” plates and to models made with low-modulus materials, such as rubbers, deformed inside portable frames. It is shown that a sufficiently precise measurement of thickness changes is possible with a machine-shop comparator, rather than with the more delicate laboratory-type instruments. The necessary corrections to be introduced to the comparator readings when rubber models are used are described in the Appendix. Two other methods based on moiré fringes, using the same two kinds of models, are also presented. The use of moiré on “frozen” specimens yields patterns of large response. Gratings on rubber models also yield precise moiré patterns that can be combined with isochromatics to separate the principal stresses. Two ways of conducting the moiré analyses are presented. The advantages and limitations of the several alternative methods are pointed out, and applications are given.     

Study of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of Chevron Nozzles on the Basis of a Numerical Calculation of the Flowfield

The flow in a convergent nozzle equipped with chevrons and the flow around the chevrons are numerically simulated and studied on the basis of the numerical integration of the system of Reynolds equations closed by a differential model for the turbulent viscosity. From the calculated results, the flow pattern, the action of the chevrons on the flow, the circulation generated, and the values of the parameters characterizing the streamwise vorticity are determined. The results of calculations of the thrust and flow-rate characteristics of nozzles equipped with chevrons are presented. The data for chevron and conical nozzles are compared.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, 2005, pp. 76–88.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Brailko and Krasheninnikov.     

Calculation of the flow in the blade passages of pump-turbines on the basis of solutions of the direct axisymmetric problem of the theory of hydrodynamic machinery

The direct axisymmetric problem of the theory of hydrodynamic machinery is considered for flows in the turbine and pump regimes. In formulating and numerically solving the problem the conditions at the edges of the blade systems [7, 8] expressing the principal conservation laws are taken into account. The three-dimensional pressure distribution in the blade systems is calculated using the asymptotic relations [1, 9]. The results of the calculations are presented and the theoretical and experimental data on the flows in the blade passages of high-speed pump-turbines are compared.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No, 4, pp. 12–19, July–August, 1988.     

On the nonlinear dynamics of the traveling-wave solutions of the Serre system

We numerically study nonlinear phenomena related to the dynamics of traveling wave solutions of the Serre equations including the stability, the persistence, the interactions and the breaking of solitary waves. The numerical method utilizes a high-order finite-element method with smooth, periodic splines in space and explicit Runge–Kutta methods in time. Other forms of solutions such as cnoidal waves and dispersive shock waves are also considered. The differences between solutions of the Serre equations and the Euler equations are also studied.     

Historical sense in the historians of the theory of elasticity

This paper studies the historical and epistemological approaches followed by historians of the theory of elasticity. The authors chosen are Todhunter and Pearson, Love, Timoshenko, and Truesdell, who are perhaps the most important historians in English language since the second half of the nineteenth century. It is shown that the historical purpose has changed from one historian to the next, ranging from history as a compilation of what is known to criticism of the evolution of elasticity. The path of progress is investigated and again there are significant differences between historians although overall they have a sense of confluence towards some form of truth. The relation between history and theory is identified as a recurrent theme. And the epistemology in each author, although not explicitly stated, is seen to change following the main trends in their times or before. Some possible avenues of research are mentioned towards the end.     

An experimental study of the effect of the blow-in rate on the size of the flow separation region

Experimental results are presented concerning the effect of the air blow-in rate on the size of the flow separation region downstream of a rearward-facing step at different step heights. The stream function is found from the experimental velocity profiles, the streamline = 0 being taken as the boundary line. It is shown that the separation region increases as the blow-in rate is increased. Generalization of the experimental results for different blow-in rates and step heights has made it possible to obtain an analytical expression describing the location of some characteristic lines in the separation region (boundary streamline, reverse-flow boundary, line of reverse-flow maximum velocity, line of variable-velocity layer thickness, and the displacement thickness line). Velocity profiles are obtained by means of a hot-wire anemometer. Analytical expressions are written as polynomials with unknown coefficients. The results obtained may be helpful in developing techniques for the treatment of heat transfer under flow separation conditions.     

Effect of the impulse of a meteorite on the dimensions of the impact crater

Formulas for the diameter and depth of an explosion crater are obtained which take into account the energy and impulse of the explosion products, rock strength, burial depth of the explosive charge, and gravity. Using the explosive-shock analogy, the obtained relations are extended to the case of meteorite (impactor) impact on the planet’s crust (target). It is shown that in the gravity cratering regime, the influence of the impulse of the impactor is significant and increases with increasing its size. In the strength cratering regime, the impulse has little effect on crater dimensions. It is established that crater dimensions are determined mainly by the kinetic energy of the impactor and, to a lesser degree, by its impulse.     

Effect of the order of the finite element and selection of the constrained modes in deformable body dynamics

Finite elements with different orders can be used in the analysis of constrained deformable bodies that undergo large rigid body displacements. The constrained mode shapes resulting from the use of finite elements with different orders differ in the way the stiffness of the body bending and extension are defined. The constrained modes also depend on the selection of the boundary conditions. Using the same type of finite element, different sets of boundary conditions lead to different sets of constrained modes. In this investigation, the effect of the order of the element as well as the selection of the constrained mode shapes is examined numerically. To this end, the constant strain three node triangular element and the quadratic six node triangular element are used. The results obtained using the three node triangular element are compared with the higher order six node triangular element. The equations of motion for the three and six node triangular elements are formulated from assumed linear and quadratic displacement fields, respectively. Both assumed displacement fields can describe large rigid body translational and rotational displacements. Consequently, the dynamic formulation presented in this investigation can also be used in the large deformation analysis. Using the finite element displacement field, the mass, stiffness, and inertia invariants of the three and six-node triangular elements are formulated. Standard finite element assembly techniques are used to formulate the differential equations of motion for mechanical systems consisting of interconnected deformable bodies. Using a multibody four bar mechanism, numerical results of the different elements and their respective performance are presented. These results indicate that the three node triangular element does not perform well in bending modes of deformation.
