MULTI-FIELD COUPLING BEHAVIOR OF SIMPLY-SUPPORTED CONDUCTIVE PLATE UNDER THE CONDITION OF A TRANSVERSE STRONG IMPULSIVE MAGNETIC FIELD

In order to study the multi-field coupling mechanical behavior of the simply-supported conductive rectangular thin plate under the condition of an externally lateral strong impulsive magnetic field, that is the dynamic buckling phenomenon of the thin plates in the effect of the magnetic volume forces produced by the interaction between the eddy current and the magnetic fields, a FEM analysis program is developed to characterize the phenomena of magnetuelastic buckling and instability of the plates. The critical values of magnetic field for the three different initial vibrating modes are obtained, with a detailed discussion made on the effects of the length-thickness ratio a/h of the plate and the length-width ratio a/b as well as the impulse parameterτon the critical value BOcr of the applied magnetic field.     

Non-Contact Eddy Current Excitation Method for Vibration Testing

When a conductive material is subjected to a time changing magnetic field, eddy currents are induced in that structure. The eddy currents circulate inside the conductor resulting in a magnetic field that interacts with the applied field. The eddy current field is such that it opposes the change in flux resulting in a force between the source and conductor. The time changing magnetic field necessary to induce an electrometric force in the materials can be generated through a variety of different ways. In the present study, a permanent magnet will be mounted to the tip of an electromagnetic shaker such that the motion of the magnet relative to the structure will cause a time changing field and the formation of eddy currents. The actuator will be demonstrated to be beneficial due to its ability to apply actuation forces without contacting the structure. This study will show that the non-contact nature of the system eliminates mass loading and added stiffness which are downfalls of traditional excitation techniques. Additionally, it will be shown that the use of a non-contact device preserves the mode shapes of the structure, whereas a stinger results in distortions due to the added constraint. Using this concept, a model of the actuation system will be developed, allowing the beams response to be simulated. The actuation system will then be used to excite a cantilever beam to obtain the modal parameters without contacting the structure. The novel non-contact actuation system developed in this paper provides a new method performing vibration testing of on lightweight or flexible structures while preserving their dynamics.

Magneto-thermo-elastic stresses induced by a transient magnetic field in a conducting solid circular cylinder

In the present paper, dynamic and quasi-static behaviors of magneto-thermo-elastic stresses induced by a transient magnetic field in a conducting solid circular cylinder are investigated. It is assumed that a transient magnetic field which is defined by an arbitrary function of time acts on the surface of the solid cylinder in the direction parallel to its surface. Fundamental equations of plane axisymmetrical electromagnetic, temperature, and elastic fields are formulated. Then, solutions of magnetic field, eddy current, temperature change and both dynamic solutions and quasi-static ones of stresses and deformations are analytically derived in the forms including the arbitrary function. The solutions of stresses are determined to be sums of thermal stress caused by eddy current loss and magnetic stress caused by Lorentz force. For this case that the arbitrary function is given by the smoothed ramp function with sine function, the dynamic and quasi-static behaviors of the stresses are examined by numerical calculations.     

Multi-frequency excitation of magnetorheological elastomer-based sandwich beam with conductive skins

The present work deals with the dynamic stability of a symmetric sandwich beam with magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) embedded viscoelastic core and conductive skins subjected to time varying axial force and magnetic field. The conductive skins induce magnetic loads and moments under the application of magnetic field during vibration. The MRE part works in shear mode and hence the dynamic properties of the sandwich beam can be controlled by magnetic fields due to the field dependent shear modulus of MRE material. Considering the core to be incompressible in transverse direction, classical sandwich beam theory has been used along with extended Hamilton's principle and Galarkin's method to derive the governing equation of motion. The resulting equation reduces to that of a multi-frequency parametrically excited system. Second order method of multiple scales has been used to study the stability of the system for simply supported and clamped free sandwich beams. Here the experimentally obtained properties of magnetorheological elastomers based on natural rubber have been considered in the numerical simulation. The results suggest that the stability of the MRE embedded sandwich beam can be improved by using magnetic field.     

Scattering of flexural wave in a thin plate with multiple circular holes by using the multipole Trefftz method

The scattering of flexural wave by multiple circular holes in an infinite thin plate is analytically solved by using the multipole Trefftz method. The dynamic moment concentration factor (DMCF) along the edge of circular holes is determined. Based on the addition theorem, the solution of the field represented by multiple coordinate systems centered at each circle can be transformed into one coordinate system centered at one circle, where the boundary conditions are given. In this way, a coupled infinite system of simultaneous linear algebraic equations is derived as an analytical model for the scattering of flexural wave by multiple holes in an infinite plate subject to the incident flexural wave. The formulation is general and is easily applicable to dealing with the problem containing multiple circular holes. Although the number of hole is not limited in our proposed method, the numerical results of an infinite plate with three circular holes are presented in the truncated finite system. The effects of both incident wave number and the central distance among circular holes on the DMCF are investigated. Numerical results show that the DMCF of three holes is larger than that of one, when the space among holes is small and meanwhile the specified direction of incident wave is subjected to the plate.     

Semi-active stabilisation of a pipe conveying fluid using eddy-current dampers: state-feedback control design,experimental validation

An application of electromagnetic devices of the motional type (i.e. eddy-current dampers) to improve the dynamic stability of a cantilever pipe discharging fluid is proposed. When the flow velocity reaches a critical value, this system loses stability through the flutter. A contactless damping device is used. This actuator is made of a conducting plate attached to the pipe that moves together with it within the perpendicular magnetic field that is generated by the controlled electromagnets. During the motion the eddy currents in the plate and a resultant drag force of a viscous character are generated. First, an optimal control problem that aims to stabilise the system with the optimal rate of decrease of the system’s energy is posed and solved. Then a state-feedback parametrization of the obtained optimal control, which can be used in a closed-loop scheme is proposed. The effectiveness of the designed optimal controller is validated by making a comparison with the corresponding passive solutions on the specially designed and constructed experimental test stand of a pipe conveying air.

     

Analysis of the transient thermal field and heat flux in circular plates, heated rapidly by a fast-decaying magnetic field

The rapid heating of a circular conducting plate by a magnetic field decaying exponentially with time and its transition to a final steady-state is studied for the cases of both isolated and non-isolated plates. Analytic expressions are derived for the thermal field, the heat flux and the relaxation times. Both the ’‘thin” and the “thick” aspects of the problem are investigated. Emphasis is placed upon some characteristic parameters arising from the analytical solution. Attention is paid to the time constants, related to the combined (conduction and convection) thermal process. In fact, the ratio of these time constants determines the transition process up to the final steady-state of each region of the plate.     

Two-Dimensional Magnetoelastic Problem for a Multiply Connected Piezomagnetic Body

A general method based on complex variable theory is proposed to determine the magnetic and elastic fields of a piezomagnetic body. This method is used to derive the basic relations for complex potentials in the two-dimensional problem of magnetoelasticity, their general representations for a multiply connected domain, expressions for stresses, displacements, vectors of magnetic field intensity and magnetic flux density, and magnetic field potential. A closed-form solution is obtained for a body with an elliptic (circular) hole or crack subjected at infinity to the action of a constant magnetoelastic field. Numerical results for a piezomagnetic plate with a circular hole are presented __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 10, pp. 64–74, October 2005.     

Non-linear principal resonance of an orthotropic and magnetoelastic rectangular plate

Based on the von Karman plate theory of large deflection, we have derived a non-linear partial differential equation for the vibration of a thin orthotropic plate under the combined action of a transverse magnetic field and a transverse harmonic mechanical load. The influence of the magnetic field is due to the magnetic Lorentz force induced by the eddy current. By employing the Bubnov-Galerkin method, the non-linear partial differential equation is transformed into a third-order non-linear ordinary differential equation. The amplitude-frequency equations are further derived by means of the multiple-scale method. As numerical examples for an orthotropic plate made of silver, the influence of the magnetic field, orthotropic material property, plate thickness, and the mechanical load on the principal resonance behavior is investigated. The higher-order effect and stability of the solution are also discussed.     

On the boundary conditions for transversely isotropic piezoelectric plates

By invoking the theorem of work reciprocity for piezoelectric media, necessary conditions, which the prescribed edge data of the plate must fulfill in order that it should generate a decaying state within the plate, are established through generalizing the method proposed by Gregory and Wan. These decaying state conditions for the case of axisymmetric deformation of a transversely isotropic piezoelectric circular plate when stress and electric displacement conditions are imposed on the plate edge are derived explicitly, which are then used for the formulation of boundary conditions for the plate theory solution (or the interior solution). Also an analytical solution of the axisymmetric decaying state of transversely isotropic piezoelectric circular plates is derived. Furthermore, the corresponding necessary conditions for the axisymmetric deformation of elastic circular plates are indeed reproduced directly.     

Plane near-field response of an elastic plate

The plane near-field response of an elastic plate is investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Experimental observations of the displacement field within the plate are obtained by means of high-speed photography of grid lines imbedded in a clear specimen molded from a low-modulus material. The analytical solution is obtained by using a recently proposed numerical procedure developed for plane problems in dynamic elasticity. Comparison of experimental observation with theoretically predicted results is offered as evidence of the applicability of the numerical method to near-field problems in elasto-dynamics.     

Features of the electric current and field distributions in flows with narrow layers of highly conductive gas

A solution obtained by Fourier's method provides the basis for analyzing the influence of a narrow gas layer, of higher conductivity than the rest of the flow, on the Joule dissipation and current distribution in the terminal zone of a plane magnetohydrodynamic channel with nonconducting walls. The MHD interaction parameter, Reynolds magnetic number, and Hall parameter are assumed small. It is shown that a narrow, highly conductive layer can on occasions be replaced by a surface of discontinuity, on which well-defined relations between the electric quantities are satisfied. The presence of such a layer leads to an increase in the Joule dissipation and a reduction in the lengths of the current lines. A hopeful arrangement for a magnetohydrodynamic energy converter is one in which an inhomogeneous flow is used, consisting of a continuous series of alternating very hot and less hot zones [1,2]. For this arrangement, it is worth examining the influence of the stratified conductivity distribution of the working body on the Joule dissipation and the electric currents in the channel. Numerous papers have discussed the case of inhomogeneous conductivity in the context of MHD system electrical characteristics. A general solution was obtained in [3] for the stationary problem on the electric field in a plane MHD channel with nonconducting walls when the magnetic field and conductivity are arbitrary functions of the longitudinal coordinate. In [4], where the braking of undeformed conducting clusters was investigated, the Joule dissipation, linked with the appearance of closed eddy currents in the cluster as it enters and leaves the magnetic field, was evaluated. The relationships between the electrical quantities, on moving through a narrow layer of low-conductivity liquid, were considered in [5].Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 39–43, January–February, 1970.In conclusion, the author thanks A.

Applied alternating method to analyze the stress concentration around interacting multiple circular holes in an infinite domain

This paper presents an efficient alternating method for analyzing the interactions among multiple circular holes in a two-dimensional infinite domain. An analytical solution is derived for a single circular hole in an infinite domain subjected to the arbitrary tractions across the circle boundary to achieve this purpose. This analytical solution correlates with a successive iterative superposition process capable of satisfying the prescribed boundary condition for each circular hole of the problem. In addition, several perforated plate problems are solved to demonstrate the proposed methods validity. The computed results and the available referenced solutions closely corresponds to each other and indicates the methods accuracy and efficiency.     

The electric field in a circular semiconductor plate placed in a magnetic field

The current distribution in an isothermic isotropically conducting plate of circular form is investigated theoretically and experimentally, in the absence and in the presence of an external magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plate. The general solution of the Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem has been obtained under these conditions. The analysis of this solution points to experimental possibilities of determining parameters of a crystal under consideration such as the specific electric conductivity (in the absence and in the presence of an external magnetic field), the mobility of current carriers in it, and others.All the basic results of the calculations undertaken were experimentally verified and quantitatively confirmed in a series of tests carried out on homogeneous monocrystalline n-germanium (with the specific resistivity of 1.1 ohm cm) at room temperature.It is known that investigations into the galvanomagnetic phenomena (longitudinal and transverse magneto-resistance, the usual, planar and longitudinal Hall effects and others) at the present time constitute not only a means of determining the characteristics of the parameters of the crystals in question (concentration of current carriers, their mobility, etc.) [1], but serve also as a proven and simple means of obtaining important information about the zone structure of crystals [2–5].Such broadening of the circle of problems affecting the sphere of galvanomagnetic investigations already begins not to correspond to the established traditions of carrying out these investigations on test pieces of rectangular shape (as a rule, in the form of parallelepipeds). This lack of correspondence is greater due to a number of completely logical causes, certain requirements as to the geometrical dimensions of such test pieces (the ratio of length to width) [6] can far from always be satisfied. We note in this connection that in the study of galvanomagnetic phenomena in impulsive magnetic fields, for example, the use of test pieces of circular form would simplify the use of working volumes of small diameter. This, in the final analysis, is equivalent to broadening the scale of magnetic fields that can be used. The replacement of a rectangular plate by a circular disc enables us also to simplify a measurement of the parameters of semiconductor crystals which usually are obtained in circular form.Below we present theoretical and experimental investigations into the problem of measuring the galvanomagnetic effects in conducting crystals having a circular form.The authors thank V. V. Gaiduchenko for his help in carrying out the tests.
