Pressure Waves in a Gas–Liquid Medium with a Stratified Liquid–Bubbly Mixture Structure

Evolution and decay of pressure waves of moderate amplitude in a vertical shock tube filled by a gas–liquid medium with a nonuniform (stepwise) distribution of bubbles over the tube cross section are studied experimentally. The gas–liquid layer has the form of a ring located near the tube wall or the form of a gas–liquid column located in the center of the tube. It is shown that the nonuniformity of bubble distribution over the tube cross section increases the attenuation rate of pressure waves.

Elastic waves in truncated cones

An experimental investigation of elastic waves produced by the axial collision of strikers with truncated 2024 aluminum cones with apex angles of 0.48, 5.38, 20, and 30 deg was performed. Wave propagation was initiated at the small end of all four cones and at the large end of the 0.48-deg and 5.38-deg cones. The striker consisted of a 1/2-in.-diam steel ball or a soft phenol-impregnated fiber cylinder. In most cases, impact was caused by firing the striker from an air gun at approximately 1300 ips; in an additional series of tests, a steel ball was dropped on the cone. The metamorphosis of the pulse at the surface of the target was recorded using both foil and semiconductor resistance strain gages. Data were obtained for periods ranging from 200 to 500 μsec; this permitted the observation of several reflections from the ends of the specimen. In several instances, cylindrical aluminum rods were glued to the cone to form a composite target; this permitted observation of the initial pulse incident on the conical section both from surface strain gage and sandwiched crystal records. Studies were also conduced to ascertain the stress distribution across the base of the 20-deg cone. Initial pulse records were employed to predict the surface response in the target using the one-dimensional equation of elastic wave propagation in a cone of infinite length. Reasonable agreement between the data and the results of calculations based on the analysis was obtained.

Unsteady compressible boundary layer flow over a circular cone near a plane of symmetry

An analysis has been performed to study the unsteady laminar compressible boundary layer governing the hypersonic flow over a circular cone at an angle of attack near a plane of symmetry with either inflow or outflow in the presence of suction. The flow is assumed to be steady at time t=0 and at t>0 it becomes unsteady due to the time-dependent free stream velocity which varies arbitrarily with time. The nonlinear coupled parabolic partial differential equations under boundary layer approximations have been solved by using an implicit finite-difference method. It is found that suction plays an important role in stabilising the fluid motion and in obtaining unique solution of the problem. The effect of the cross flow parameter is found to be more pronounced on the cross flow surface shear stress than on the streamwise surface shear stress and surface heat transfer. Beyond a certain value of the cross flow parameter overshoot in the cross flow velocity occurs and the magnitude of this overshoot increases with the cross flow parameter. The time variation of the streamwise surface shear stress is more significant than that of the cross flow surface shear stress and surface heat transfer. The suction and the total enthalpy at the wall exert strong influence on the streamwise and cross flow surface shear stresses and the surface heat transfer except that the effect of suction on the cross flow surface shear stress is small.     

The radar cross section of the semi-infinite elliptic cone

In order to determine the radar cross section of a semi-infinite elliptic cone first the solution of the pertinent canonical boundary value problem in sphero-conal coordinates is derived. For this purpose one has to solve a two-parameter eigenvalue problem with two coupled Lamé differential equations. The exact nose-on radar cross section of the semi-infinite elliptic cone has been evaluated for two orthogonal polarizations of the incident plane wave. In the degenerate case of a circular cone the known formula first deduced by Hansen and Schiff is obtained. The theoretical results also hold for the case of a plane angular sector which is another degenerate case of the elliptic cone.

Examples are presented of how this method is used to determine the operating and residual stresses in materials and structural elements. Features of the mutual use of surface and volume waves to obtain additional information on the stress distribution over the cross section of a specimen are indicated     

An experimental study of bending impact waves in beams

An experimental study of the propagation of flexural waves in an elastic beam of circular cross section subjected to an approximate-step-function bending moment is given. The test beam was a low-carbon-steel bar 2 in. diam × 30-ft long and was suspended in a vertical position by a pin located near the upper end. The step moment was applied at the upper pinned end of the bar by an arrangement of two high-pressure, nitrogen-operated cylinders. The strains were measured with strain gages located at eight stations along the bar. The experimental results are compared with results obtained from a solution of the “Timoshenko” beam by W. Flügge and E. E. Zajac for a semi-infinite pinned-end beam subjected to a suddenly applied bending moment at the pinned end. The experimental results are correlated with the predictions of the theoretical solution.     

铁木辛柯梁中的卸载弯曲波及二次断裂

半无限长梁承受恒定弯矩作用后, 如果自由端的初始弯矩突然释放, 将在梁中激发出一列卸载弯曲应力波. 采用铁木辛柯梁和瑞利梁来研究突然卸载所激发出的弯曲波的传播特征. 利用拉普拉斯变换方法进行分析, 首先推导出铁木辛柯梁和瑞利梁中的卸载弯曲波的像函数解析解, 采用数值反变换方法给出了时域上波传播的响应解, 并研究了梁中各点的横向位移、弯矩和剪力随时间的变化规律. 计算结果表明: 与简化的欧拉梁不同, 旋转惯性的引入使铁木辛柯梁和瑞利梁中的弯曲波传播具有强烈的局部化效应, 特别是梁中各点经历的弯矩变化, 和其距离自由端的位置相关, 不同时刻的弯矩峰值大小不同;瑞利梁中离自由端不同距离各点的峰值弯矩先增大后降低, 最后达到一个渐近值;铁木辛柯梁中各点的峰值弯矩总体上随着时间单调增大到同一个渐近值, 该渐近值与欧拉梁中的峰值弯矩值相同, 均为1.43.切应力效应的引入进一步降低了铁木辛柯梁中卸载弯曲波的波速, 同时也使得铁木辛柯梁中弯矩峰值的最大值小于瑞利梁中的最大值. 对于脆性细长梁的纯弯曲断裂, 铁木辛柯梁可以较好地预测二次断裂的发生位置, 相应的碎片尺寸约为7倍梁横截面厚度.      

Water waves in a suspended container

Analysis and experiments are carried out on a horizontal rectangular wave tank which swings at the lower end of a pendulum. The walls of the tank generate waves which affect the motion of the pendulum. For small displacements of the tank, linearised shallow water equations are used to model the motion, and there exist time-periodic solutions for the system whose periods are governed by a transcendental relation. Numerical and analytic solutions of this relation show that the fundamental period is greater than both the period of the empty tank (moving like a simple pendulum) and the fundamental period of the standing wave which occurs when the tank is removed from its supports and held fixed. For a rectangular tank the theory compares well with some experimental measurements. Qualitative observations are also made of the effect of breaking waves on the tank motion: for a tank which has a mass small compared with its load the energy dissipated by breaking waves can rapidly reduce the amplitude of swing of the tank. Potential flow theory is used with linearised free-surface boundary conditions to find time periodic motions for a tank with a hyperbolic cross section.     

基于广义非线性统一强度理论的隧道塌落拱分析

基于广义非线性统一强度的剪切破坏理论,在平面应变状态下,根据极限上限定理和隧道顶部的围岩塌落机制,在耗散能中引入了包含曲线型破裂面方程的目标函数,建立了围岩中任意断面的隧道顶部围岩的塌落机制。基于塑性位势理论,考虑塑性应变增量与塑性势函数的应力梯度成正比,由此得出了在速度间断线上任意点内能的耗散率;再运用虚功原理,建立内能耗散率和外力做功相等的关系式,从而通过变分原理得出了隧道顶部塌落面的解析表达式,由该表达式计算出隧道顶部塌落面的形状。以圆形断面隧道为例,对影响塌落拱形状的隧道半径和中间主剪应力系数等相关参数进行了讨论分析。由此得出:在平面应变状态下,隧道顶部围岩塌落体的宽度和高度随着中间主剪应力系数的不断增大而减小;塌落面的高度随着广义非线性统一强度参数的不断增大而增大,而塌落面的宽度则不断减小;塌落宽度和塌落高度随隧道半径的增大而增大。     

An Exact Theory for Circular, End-Loaded, Anisotropic Beams of Narrow Rectangular Cross Section

The exact theory of linearly elastic beams developed by Ladevèze and Ladevèze and Simmonds is limited to prismaticbeams. Herein, the theory is extended to circular beams of narrow rectangular cross section, using the equations of plane stress for an anisotropic elastic body. Explicit formulas are given for the cross-sectional material operators that appear in the overall beamlike stress–strain relations between forces and a moment (the generalized stress) and derivatives of certain one-dimensional displacements and a rotation (the generalized strain). The extension to circular beams is non-trivial, especially for full anisotropy, because the analogues of the Saint-Venant solutions, that are key in the exact theory of straight beams, are more complicated.     

Stability of bars with variable rigidity

A variable cross-section bar is considered. The bar is not uniform in length. The bar axis through the mass centers of all cross sections is a straight line. The bar is compressed by a longitudinal force applied to the mass center of the boundary cross section. The stability loss of the straight-line shape of the bar’s equilibrium is discussed when a curved shape is also possible. Approximate analytical formulas are obtained for the critical compressive force when four types of end fixing are used for a periodically nonuniform bar. The numerical results obtained by these formulas are compared with the known exact solutions to the stability equation for a bar whose cross section is stepwise variable and whose nonuniformity consists of only one period (the limiting case).

An analysis of thermally-induced plane waves in elastic-plastic single crystals

A framework for the calculation of thermally-induced plane waves in elastic-plastic single crystals of arbitrary crystallographic symmetry and orientation is presented. Plasticity is described in terms of small strain theory and the available slip-planes which can be arbitrary in number as well as in orientation. The effects of perfect-plasticity modify not only the anisotropic elastic moduli, but also the components of the Grüneisen tensor. The latter effect is a consequence of a non-spherical stress state developed in anisotropic materials during rapid energy-absorption at constant strain. Specific examples of thermally-induced plane waves are presented for both the elastic and plastic response of beryllium and graphite single-crystals.

On Pressurized Curvilinearly Orthotropic Circular Disk, Cylinder and Sphere Made of Radially Nonuniform Material

A unified analysis is presented for the elastic response of a pressurized cylindrically anisotropic hollow disk under assumed conditions of plane stress, or a hollow cylinder under plane strain conditions, and a spherically anisotropic hollow sphere, made of material which is nonuniform in the radial direction according to the power law relationship. The solution for a cylinder under generalized plane strain is also presented. Two parameters play a prominent role in the analysis: the material nonuniformity parameter m, and the parameter ?? which accounts for the combined effects of material anisotropy, represented by the specified parameters (??, ??, ??), and material nonuniformity, represented by the parameter m. The radial and circumferential stresses are the linear combinations of two power functions of the radial coordinate, whose exponents (n ₁ and n ₂) depend on the parameters m and ??. New light is added to the stress amplification and shielding under combined effects of curvilinear anisotropy and radial nonuniformity. Different loading combinations are considered, including the equal pressure at both boundaries, and the uniform pressure at the inner or the outer boundary. While the stress state for the equal pressure loading is uniform in the case of isotropic uniform material (m=0, ??=1), and for one particular radially nonuniform and anisotropic material, it is strongly nonuniform for a general anisotropic or nonuniform material. If the aspect ratio of the inner and outer radii decreases (small hole in a large disk/cylinder or sphere), the magnitude of the circumferential stress at the inner radius increases for n ₁>0 (stress amplification), and decreases for n ₁<0 (stress shielding). Both can be achieved by various combinations of the material parameters m, ??, ??, and ??. While the stress amplification in the case of a pressurized external boundary occurs readily, it occurs only exceptionally in the case of a pressurized internal boundary. The effects of material parameters on the displacement response are also analyzed. The approximate character of the plane stress solution of a pressurized thin disk is discussed and the results are compared with those obtained by numerical solution of the exact three-dimensional disk model.     

基于DIC技术的爆炸应力波过异质界面应变场演化规律实验研究

采用氯仿粘结聚碳酸酯（polycarbonate, PC）板和聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯（polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA）板模拟含异质界面模型;在PC介质中布置柱状炮孔并与界面呈一定角度,根据炮孔端部与界面相对位置,分别于柱状炮孔两个端部设置起爆点,起爆点远离界面端部时定义为孔口起爆,靠近界面端部时定义为孔底起爆;借助数字图像相关实验系统,研究爆炸应力波通过异质界面后PMMA介质应变场演化过程及炮孔底部区域拉、压应变变化规律。实验结果表明,异质界面改变了爆炸应力波过界面后的传播形态。孔口起爆时,异质界面受爆破荷载作用后易形成应力集中区,界面处产生开裂,横向拉伸波作用是造成异质界面开裂的主要原因。起爆方式对过界面后介质PMMA的横/纵向拉、压应变场作用贡献不同,主要体现在应变场强度、拉/压应变场位置分布2个方面。在炮孔底部区域,起爆方式对应变场时程特性的影响主要体现在作用时效长短和应变强度2个方面。孔口起爆时,横/纵向应变体现出短时效、高强度的变化特征。就应变强度而言,起爆方式对横向压应变的影响显著强于其对纵向拉应变的影响。对空间分布特性影响主要体现在衰减程度,起爆方式对纵向应变衰减程度影响较大。无论采用何种起爆方式,爆炸应变场在PC介质中衰减速度较快,进入PMMA介质后衰减速度显著降低。     

Recovery of Stresses in a Beam from those in a Cone

We consider a trapezoidal thin plate, as shown in Figure 1, which has one end loaded by a concentrated transverse unit force and the other clamped at zero displacement. The stress is determined according to a method proposed by Galerkin [1] which involves the superposition of two plane elastic stress distributions. To access the accuracy of the method, the oblique sides of the trapezium are allowed to become parallel so that, in the limit, the trapezium becomes a rectangle of the same area. The limiting values of the maximum stress components are exactly those obtained by the Saint-Venant method for a bar. However, over the clamped end, the displacement vanishes only at three arbitrarily selected points. A similar procedure is applied to the transversely loaded truncated cone, but now the limiting values of the stress do not entirely match those obtained by the Saint-Venant theory for a circular cylinder. We also briefly discuss, for completeness, the same bodies under axial loadings, and arrive at similar conclusions which therefore hold for general loads. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The initiation and growth of macroscopic martensite band in nano-grained NiTi microtube under tension

The superelastic behavior of polycrystalline nano-grained NiTi shape memory alloy microtube under uniaxial tension is studied in this paper. The nominal stress–strain curve of the microtube during superelastic deformation is recorded. Both direct surface observation and observation by using a special surface coating show that the deformation of the tube is via the nucleation and propagation of macroscopic stress-induced martensite band. It is also found that the martensite nucleates in the form of a spiral lens-shaped narrow band that inclines at about 33^o to the plane of cross section of tube when the stress reaches the peak of stress–strain curve. The spiral band grew via gradual increase in both width and length of the band and finally merged into a single cylindrical band. The subsequent deformation of the tube is realized by the growth of this cylindrical martensite band. Several other deformation features of the tube are also observed and the results are discussed and compared with the theoretical analysis in this paper.
