Impact interaction of cylindrical body with a surface of cavity during supercavitation motion in compressible fluid

The paper deals with the early stage of impact of a solid cylindrical body on the surface of a cylindrical cavity for zero and non-zero gap between the cavity surface and the body surface. As a result, the stated mixed non-stationary boundary value problem with the unknown variable in the time boundary is formulated. Its solution is reduced to a joint solution of an infinite system of linear integral Volterra equations of the second kind and the differential equation of the body movement. In the case of simplified formulation, the solution is reduced to the infinite sequence of the linear integral Volterra equations. Hydrodynamic and kinematic characteristics are also obtained.

Diffraction of a plane acoustic wave by a rigid sphere in a cylindrical cavity: An axisymmetric problem

The paper studies the interaction of a rigid spherical body and a cylindrical cavity filled with an ideal compressible fluid in which a plane acoustic wave of unit amplitude propagates. The solution is based on the possibility of transforming partial solutions of the Helmholtz equation between cylindrical and spherical coordinates. Satisfying the interface conditions between the cavity and the acoustic medium and the boundary conditions on the spherical surface yields an infinite system of algebraic equations with indefinite integrals of cylindrical functions as coefficients. This system of equations is solved by reduction. The behavior of the system is studied depending on the frequency of the plane wave

A problem on the interaction of a spherical body oscillating in a predetermined fashion and a rigid cylinder is formulated. The bodies do not intersect, are immersed into an ideal compressible liquid, and their centers are in one plane. The solution is based on the possibility of representing the partial solution of the Helmholtz equation, written in cylindrical coordinates, in terms of partial solutions in spherical coordinates, and vice versa.

Stress intensity factors around a cylindrical crack in an interfacial zone in composite materials

Axisymmetric stresses around a cylindrical crack in an interfacial cylindrical layer between an infinite elastic medium with a cylindrical cavity and a circular elastic cylinder made of another material have been determined. The material constants of the layer vary continuously from those of the infinite medium to those of the cylinder. Tension surrounding the cylinder and perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder is applied to the composite materials. To solve this problem, the interfacial layer is divided into several layers with different material properties. The boundary conditions are reduced to dual integral equations. The differences in the crack faces are expanded in a series so as to satisfy the conditions outside the crack. The unknown coefficients in the series are solved using the conditions inside the crack. Numerical calculations are performed for several thicknesses of the interfacial layer. Using these numerical results, the stress intensity factors are evaluated for infinitesimal thickness of the layer.

An explicit formulation for the evolution of nonlinear surface waves interacting with a submerged body

An explicit formulation to study nonlinear waves interacting with a submerged body in an ideal fluid of infinite depth is presented. The formulation allows one to decompose the nonlinear wave–body interaction problem into body and free‐surface problems. After the decomposition, the body problem satisfies a modified body boundary condition in an unbounded fluid domain, while the free‐surface problem satisfies modified nonlinear free‐surface boundary conditions. It is then shown that the nonlinear free‐surface problem can be further reduced to a closed system of two nonlinear evolution equations expanded in infinite series for the free‐surface elevation and the velocity potential at the free surface. For numerical experiments, the body problem is solved using a distribution of singularities along the body surface and the system of evolution equations, truncated at third order in wave steepness, is then solved using a pseudo‐spectral method based on the fast Fourier transform. A circular cylinder translating steadily near the free surface is considered and it is found that our numerical solutions show excellent agreement with the fully nonlinear solution using a boundary integral method. We further validate our solutions for a submerged circular cylinder oscillating vertically or fixed under incoming nonlinear waves with other analytical and numerical results.

Strain gradient solution for a finite-domain Eshelby-type anti-plane strain inclusion problem

A solution for the finite-domain Eshelby-type inclusion problem of a finite elastic body containing an anti-plane strain inclusion of arbitrary cross-sectional shape prescribed with a uniform eigenstrain and a uniform eigenstrain gradient is derived in a general form using a simplified strain gradient elasticity theory (SSGET). The formulation is facilitated by an extended Betti’s reciprocal theorem and an extended Somigliana’s identity based on the SSGET and suitable for anti-plane strain problems. The disturbed displacement field is obtained in terms of the SSGET-based Green’s function for an infinite anti-plane strain elastic body. The solution reduces to that of the infinite-domain anti-plane strain inclusion problem when the boundary effect is not considered. The problem of a circular cylindrical inclusion embedded concentrically in a finite cylindrical elastic matrix undergoing anti-plane strain deformations is analytically solved by applying the general solution, with the Eshelby tensor and its average over the circular cross section of the inclusion obtained in closed forms. This Eshelby tensor, being dependent on the position, inclusion size, matrix size, and a material length scale parameter, captures the inclusion size and boundary effects, unlike existing ones. It reduces to the classical linear elasticity-based Eshelby tensor for the circular cylindrical 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 small and that the boundary effect can dominate when the inclusion volume fraction is high. However, the inclusion size effect is diminishing with the increase of the inclusion size, and the boundary effect is vanishing as the inclusion volume fraction becomes sufficiently low.     

Wiener-Hopf analysis of an acoustic plane wave in a trifurcated waveguide

In this paper, we have made Wiener-Hopf analysis of an acoustic plane wave by a semi-infinite hard duct that is placed symmetrically inside an infinite soft/hard duct. The method of solution is integral transform and Wiener-Hopf technique. The imposition of boundary conditions result in a 2 × 2 matrix Wiener-Hopf equation associated with a new canonical scattering problem which is solved by using the pole removal technique. In the solution, two infinite sets of unknown coefficients are involved that satisfy two infinite systems of linear algebraic equations. These systems of linear algebraic equations are solved numerically. The graphs are plotted for sundry parameters of interest. Kernel functions are also factorized.     

Effects of three-phase-lag on two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity for infinite medium with spherical cavity

The thermoelastic interaction for the three-phase-lag (TPL) heat equation in an isotropic infinite elastic body with a spherical cavity is studied by two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory (2TT). The heat conduction equation in the theory of TPL is a hyperbolic partial differential equation with a fourth-order derivative with respect to time. The medium is assumed to be initially quiescent. By the Laplace transformation, the fundamental equations are expressed in the form of a vector-matrix differential equation, which is solved by a state-space approach. The general solution obtained is applied to a specific problem, when the boundary of the cavity is subjected to the thermal loading (the thermal shock and the ramp-type heating) and the mechanical loading. The inversion of the Laplace transform is carried out by the Fourier series expansion techniques. The numerical values of the physical quantity are computed for the copper like material. Significant dissimilarities between two models (the two-temperature Green-Naghdi theory with energy dissipation (2TGN-III) and two-temperature TPL model (2T3phase)) are shown graphically. The effects of two-temperature and ramping parameters are also studied.     

Axisymmetric Interaction Problem for a Sphere Pulsating Inside an Elastic Cylindrical Shell Filled with and Immersed Into a Liquid

An interaction problem is formulated for a spherical body oscillating in a prescribed manner inside a thin elastic cylindrical shell filled with a perfect compressible liquid and submerged in a dissimilar infinite perfect compressible liquid. The geometrical center of the sphere is on the cylinder axis. The solution is based on the possibility of representing the partial solutions of the Helmholtz equations written in cylindrical coordinates for both media in terms of the partial solutions written in spherical coordinates, and vice versa. Satisfying the boundary conditions on the sphere and shell surfaces results in an infinite system of linear algebraic equations. This system is used to determine the coefficients of the Fourier-series expansions of the velocity potentials in terms of Legendre polynomials. The hydrodynamic characteristics of both liquids and the shell deflections are determined. The results obtained are compared with those for a sphere oscillating on the axis of an elastic cylindrical shell filled with a compressible liquid (the ambient medium being neglected).     

The Thermoelectroelastic State of a Transversally Isotropic Piezoceramic Body with a Spheroidal Cavity in a Uniform Heat Flow

A static thermoelectroelastic problem for an infinite transversally isotropic body containing a spheroidal cavity is explicitly solved. The symmetry axis of the spheroid coincides with the anisotropy axis of the body. It is assumed that at a rather large distance from the cavity the body is in a uniform heat flow directed along the anisotropy axis. Formulas are derived for the stress components and the projections of the electric displacement vector near the cavity, which depend on the heat-flow value, cavity geometry, and the thermoelectroelastic properties of the material. The solution of the problem for a body with a disk-like crack is obtained as a partial case from the solution of the problem for a piezoceramic body with a spheroidal cavity. The stress intensity factors for the force and electric fields are determined near the crack     

Non-Fourier heat conduction by axisymmetric thermal waves in an infinite solid medium

The non-stationary heat conduction in an infinite solid medium internally bounded by an infinitely long cylindrical surface is considered. A uniform and time- dependent temperature is prescribed on the boundary surface. An analytical solution of the hyperbolic heat conduction equation is obtained. The solution describes the wave nature of the temperature field in the geometry under consideration. A detailed analysis of the cases in which the temperature imposed on the boundary surface behaves as a square pulse or as an exponentially decaying pulse is provided. The evolution of the temperature field in the case of hyperbolic heat conduction is compared with that obtained by solving Fourier's equation. Received on 28 January 1998
